THE INDEPENDENT VOTER IS RISING IN NIGERIA

Something is about to hit Nigeria

Sen. Seriake Dickson of NDC is complaining about it

Gov. Hope Uzodimma is fighting it

APC Governors are lamenting about it

Nyesom Wike is adapting to it

Atiku is confused about it

Gov. Nwifuru and Gov. Abdulrazak are battling it

Gov. Peter Mbah is tackling it

Peter Obi and Kwankwaso are enjoying it

Tinubu is just observing

It is the emergence independent minded voters

Nigerians are becoming comfortable with voting for different parties in the same election

The Obidients in Lagos a poised to vote Peter Obi for president in NDC but Gbadebo for Governor in ADC

In Ebonyi, the APC supporters are planning to vote Tinubu for President in APC and Ifeanyi Odii for Governor in PDP

In Enugu, APC supporters are poised to vote Peter Mbah of APC for Governor and Odaa Opuo of PDP for Senate

In the same Enugu, Obidients are planning to vote for Obi for President and Uche Nnaji of PDP for Governor.

In that same Enugu, some people who are supporting Uche Nnaji of PDP for Governor are planning to vote NDC in the Enugu North Senatorial Zone.

In that same Enugu, Obidients are planning to vote for Osita Ngwu of APC for Senate while voting Obi of NDC for President.

In Abia, everybody is set to vote Otti of LP for Governor, Obi of NDC for President and APC for Senate, LP and PDP for Reps.

The mixture is profound.

This is a new dynamic in Nigerian politics

That's why Politicians with Traditional Voting Blocs like Atiku are very much confused.

That's why the ever silent Peter Mbah is calling on his people to vote APC top to bottom.

Nyesom Wike is trying to claim credits for the emerging dynamics but that's far fetched.

As much as his Rainbow Coalition is the most adapting system to the new dynamic, it is not really responsible.

Though the origin can be traced to him when he joined forces with the G5 Governors to remain in PDP and work against their Presidential Candidate and emerged victorious, making Anti-Party activities fashionable.

The major driving force was the LP Legislators that won elections with Obi wave and defected to APC and started fighting Obi.

But the last straw that broke the Carmel's back was when NDC, ADC and APC chose to field very unpopular candidates in various positions in the most fraudulent Primaries in the history of Nigeria, where voters were counted in geometric progression.

Such absurdity!

That, coupled with excessive defections by candidates and the proliferation of Social Media, rapidly increasing political awareness amongst rural dwellers...

All came together to birth the independent voting pattern we are about to witness now.

It will be all man to thyself.

People have realized that party is useless and has no meaning, no ideology and no principle.

So they are focusing on people.

That's why party leaders and stakeholders like Seriake Dickson, Hope Uzodimma and others are furious.

You know what this means?

Nobody can deliver anybody now.

All man to himself. Trying to deliver another person might cost you your own election.

Ọgụ adaala Onye Ọbụla azọwa ishi onwe ya.

Because Top to Bottom is no longer a thing.

It is a very sad time for party politics

But very exciting times for Democracy.

What are your predictions?
