Election violence has become a serious issue in many countries, including Nigeria, and the youths are often the most affected by such violence as they are.

So, this election is going to show in many areas that some of our political bigwigs are losing their grip on the people and many of them (the people) are also aware that if they born this house down after this election, they are the ones that will suffer. Who in his right senses will vote a party when the president and governor of the central bank are not together when the presidential candidate and the ruling president don’t seem to be together when Keyamo is saying one thing and Fashola comes out to say the opposite? However, if it is these senior people that have been used before to win a lot of these elections, what I see now, I can almost say that 75% to 80% of these young people are on the side of the new movement. What it means is that if Obi wins in the South East, it is not the political structures that have been existing in the region. This means that the whole illusion that we have 12 million or 11 million votes in Kano and we will deliver (is no longer possible). I’m telling people not to worry that if your candidate does not win, our suffering cannot be the same as the last eight years because people are now enlightened. And this is why I have sent emissaries through our project called the Grassroots Sensitisation Against Election-Related Violence to Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Kogi, and Kaduna which are among the states that are charged. Well, as of today, we do not know what will happen in the next few days in terms of who will win the election but whoever wins the election, it’s not going to be business as usual. Because this whole movement is a matter of the last nine months, that every town that this man called Peter Obi and Datti have gone to, people have trooped out. So, when politics now came, of course, we still had this skepticism that the same names are coming up — Tinubu and Atiku and so on and so forth — and a lot of young people didn’t take it seriously because it was business as usual. But I think the young people are more enlightened now and they are getting involved. Especially since the EndSARS, October 20, 2020, and the tragedies that occurred, there has been a renewed interest in governance because the young people thought at that time that by demonstrating on the streets, they would have a leadership that listens and they would list to their cries that “we have been dying at the hands of this brutal police (officers).

As the country votes for its next president, one candidate has emerged as a leading hope.

The local unit of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) – a notorious branch of the Nigerian police that was dissolved in 2020 for engaging in widespread criminality – in the Anambra town of Awkuzu became known for detaining civilians on bogus charges, torturing and often murdering detainees. [Amnesty International report singled out Awkuzu SARS](https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr44/4868/2016/en/) as one of the most brutal after it dumped the bodies of 35 victims in the Ezu river. Fatalism then sets in and the electorate grows ever more contemptuous of politicians. If it does, be certain that there are plenty of malign forces in Nigeria ready to exploit that. Passing readers demand a narrative that is easy to comprehend and basic information on who to back so that they can feel invested in the race. A common criticism of the media is that it only reports bad news, but unrealistic optimism can also undermine faith in journalism. Nigerian officials say that IPOB bombings have killed dozens of civilians in the south-east, though the organisation denies involvement. Recent coverage of Obi is evidence of this. This trend is often far more pronounced in the developing world, which is largely ignored in between election cycles by the international media. Obi, 61, the leader of the Nigerian Labour Party, has pitched himself as a fresh-faced progressive and outsider who will clean up the muck of Nigerian politics and build a fairer, more just nation. For many Nigerians, things can barely get worse and Obi – who is running against two well-established and well-funded candidates in their seventies – is promising to deliver prudence and accountability to a failing political system. Security has deteriorated drastically over the last few years, the country is in the midst of a cash crisis caused by a disastrous attempt to replace old naira bills with redesigned ones, inflation is soaring, and corruption is so widespread that the state barely functions.

Accord Party has endorsed Peter Obi, the flag-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), for the 2023 presidential election.

The party has a strong presence across the 35 states of the federation and has been known to deliver their constituencies at every election. In a letter obtained by TRIBUNE ONLINE Friday night, the Accord Party in its address to Obi stated that it was willing to join forces with the LP in delivering the mandate of LP flag-bearer and the party to win the presidential seat. Accord Party has endorsed Peter Obi, the flag-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), for the 2023 presidential election.

Muhammad Abdullahi, the immediate past Grand Khadi of Nasarawa State, both of whom emphasized the national quest for equity, unity and justice which everyone agrees the Peter Obi presidential brand represents in Nigeria. Peter Obi, while emphasizing how his entrance into the race for President in the country attracted both diaspora interest, support and international appeal. Earlier speaking at the event, National Chairman of the Labour Party, Chief Julius Abure, who led a group of Labour Party stalwarts to represent Mr. Also among the participants were other community and political leaders, which include: Hon. Peter Obi, who has brought fresh tonic to the leadership the nation. He said: “This year’s presidential election has presented us with a group of gentlemen, who have all made various laudable marks in several areas of endeavour.

Peter Obi is being projected by multiple polls to win the race to replace outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari.

Peter Obi will be declared president of Nigeria and that day will be my best day on Earth. Youths across parts of Nigeria have begun to believe that a new political era is near. At the heart of it is Onitsha, a major artery in the production and distribution networks that built Nollywood, the world’s second-largest film industry, from the ground up – and home to the market. “They [the government] are just playing with the destiny of the nation … He is a man of discipline and very reasonable in spending. He is the best governor we’ve had in this state.” Since it ended, people of the region have complained about political and economic marginalisation. This is a guy that wants to serve. Across the city – and Anambra in general – hope is an omnipresent commodity. I have a strong feeling that Obi can change things. The Igbos seceded from Nigeria in 1967, returning 30 months after losing a civil war.
