“Election Time! Are we really voting?”

VOICE AIR MEDIA

Nigerians always clamour for a better government, claims a government doesn’t give ears to the yearnings of the masses and hence they want change.

This is very rampant in the mouths of the young ones (youths) in Nigeria, they talk but never take action.

Why would you want a government in or another out and yet you wouldn’t vote when it’s time for elections?

The only way to choose your candidate is by voting but statistics show that most youths who makes a very large percentage of those that suffers from bad or good governance do not vote.

They comment, canvass, contemplate and communicate into everyone’s hearing and seeing on social media with their complaint of bad governance or commendation of good governance but yet the only yardstick for bringing in the best candidate for good governance and taking out the worst candidate with bad governance is voting which most of them so not engage themselves in.

The period of election in my country is mostly the time we see as the time to play football, watch movies, relax at home and never bother about exercising our franchise – voting

How do we then choose the best candidate?

How do our country progress?

How do we change the narrative and bring the needed change in the country if we don’t vote?

It is high time we youths that are the future of this country take that step, let’s vote and elect our candidate.

The only tool we have is voting in our best candidate.

2023 is around the corner and many presidential aspirants are out, we know them better than our parents who are old, we read about them, we know their capabilities and what we (Citizens) stand to gain if they eventually emerge as winner, hence we are at the best position to choose the right candidate and as well convince our parents to vote them in as well with the convincing characteristics we’ve researched and gotten about the aspirants.

Let the narrative change.
Let’s stand up for our right.
Voting is our power for good governance.
Let’s be a good citizen of our great nation and strive to make this country a better place for us all.

God Bless Nigeria.
