Nigerian citizens who feel that their votes were stolen by some state governors have been urged to be patient as a new Nigeria is possible. Despite the initial results showing a wide margin between candidates, upon closer examination, there were significant changes in vote tallies. For instance, in some cases, results shifted from 227 to 27 and from 17 to 217. This result restructuring is what politicians refer to as "structure."
The Nigerian youth has been encouraged to exercise patience and ensure that they vote for credible governors who can challenge the election result in court. When they arrive at their polling units, they should video their presiding officers and everyone sent to conduct the election in their polling boots. They should repeat this exercise in the upcoming governorship and house of assembly elections scheduled for March 11, 2023.
It is essential to protect one's vote and ensure that the result sheets are captured before they are uploaded. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should create a citizen result submission page where voters can upload the result from their polling booths. This portal should close by 8 pm on election day, as most election fraud is done after voting. To prevent multiple submissions, the submission can have a unique ID that makes it impossible for a single phone or PC to submit more than one result within 24 hours on each of the elections holding the same day.
Nigerians are encouraged to vote for the same party they supported in the presidential election. This move will make a difference as parties contest the results in court. Ultimately, a new Nigeria is possible, but it will take patience, vigilance, and perseverance to achieve it.
