The ex-lawmaker says some people had come to the conclusion that voting is a waste of time.
He, however, argued that some people stayed away because they felt their votes would not count.
“Even when the sensitisation reached them, some people have come into the conclusion that their votes would not matter in any case. “When you stay back, believing that a choice had already been made, you do not have the moral, or even political and civil rights, to begin to fight over performance of those people that have been given the opportunity to administer.
Mr Adekanye added that the economic hardship that many people were passing through could also discourage them and make them disinterested in political process.“But even in such circumstance, people could still solve some of their problems by observing, following campaigns and choosing responsible and reliable people during elections, rather than boycott.
