Last week, the Independent National Electoral Commission , disclosed that it has 93.4 million voters in its voters’ register. Not all these people will vote due to some intervening forces or the other, but it marks a significant leap in the registration of voters, in comparison to previous elections. It also shows that voter consciousness is improving day by day, in addition to other factors that will make the next presidential election the most competitive and dramatic.
The Peter Obi factor has been a big push in the ongoing presidential campaign. Obi, who is turning out to be a disruptor, has also become a rallying figure for the youth, who are vociferous on social media and aggressive on the field. It is not a surprise that he is also receiving pot-shots from the conventional political parties and gladiator-candidates like Atiku and Tinubu.
In this category, many of them have been caught pants down. From Tinubu’s ‘emilokan’ to Atiku’s alleged rhetoric to Northern sentiment during his Arewa Consultative Forum engagement to Peter Obi’s subtle appeal to Christian voters. All of them, without exception, are guilty by association. As such, while the leading candidates are scrambling to outdo one another in a desperate bid to become president, they are utilising everything at their disposal, including patronage, material things and monetary inducements to court and draw voters and influencers to themselves.
