Simple Commonsense Political Facts and Realities Before the 2019 General Elections in Nigeria

Majority of Nigerian voters are farmers and traders who are not on the internet. So, all the political comments on #Twitter, #Facebook , #Instagram, #Google  and #Nairaland  are for those online. And about 43% of them are under 18 teenagers in the south who cannot vote and are not swayed by online debates, except to post and share their ego tripping pictures and celebrity gossip. The rest are eligible voters of which the majority are members and supporters of the national ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC). The minority are members and supporters of the defeated former national ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) and others largely from the south- south and southeast of Nigeria. The most vocal of them are on #Nairaland and they are mostly hired trolls who are not up to 300, because their sponsors cannot afford to pay more than that to launch and like anti-Buhari and anti-APC reports and debates. As much as they desperately try to spread their political campaigns of calumny, they are eventually deflated by the indisputable outstanding achievements of the APC state governments from Lagos to Kano and disappointed by the failures and shortcomings of the PDP state governments. The funny thing is the fact that majority of them left their own regions in the PDP states for the flourishing APC states of Lagos and Kano; especially the Igbos.

Using the indices of capital projects for development, the APC states are more advanced than the PDP states. That is why it is sheer political mischief and intellectual stupidity to say President Buhari and APC have failed when the APC states are flourishing like Lagos state that is the 5th biggest economy in Africa and richer than all the PDP states combined. Kano is also bigger, larger and richer than all the PDP states of the south-south and southeast. So, only an idiot and fool will lie that President Buhari and APC have failed.
