Saraki said such a sad development was a return to the dark days of politics in the country which is widely believed to have become a thing of the past. He, therefore, called on the security agencies to immediately commence a thorough investigation to unveil the people who perpetrated the violent acts, their sponsors, and their motives.

Wike’s righteous indignation – even though it’s at the realm of rumour mill that he’s about to quit the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) or abandon its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar – he would not be doing the unthinkable because of the absolute injustice meted out on him in a political party that openly subscribes to equity and justice. 

In getting Obi the Presidency, the social media became the vehicle through which they intend to achieve their aim. In the last few weeks, there have been series of efforts by the youths to promote Obi’s candidacy with jingles, billboards, and door-to-door campaigns. But what the youths are unleashing on social media is beyond the ordinary. There have also been donations and plans to create political awareness on registration and collection of the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) across the country and sensitize the public on why Obi is the right man to steer the affairs of the country. Obi’s online soldiers, now  known  as the ‘Obidient’ have also vowed to monitor the forthcoming election with drones to ensure the process is not rigged in undue favour of any candidate. Interestingly, the efforts to support Obi’s candidacy and the conversations about his presidency underscores the reawakening of the youths’ political consciousness ahead of the election.
