Should politicians who openly boast about manipulating elections still be trusted with the power to shape our democracy?

Wike identifies himself as an election rigger.

How long will Nigerians continue to tolerate politicians who speak about electoral manipulation with such brazen confidence and still retain privileged positions in the corridors of power?

The bigger scandal is not merely what Wike says. It is the political culture that makes such statements possible without serious consequences.

A democracy cannot survive when those entrusted with political power treat the ballot box as something to be controlled rather than respected.

So, Nigerians, where do we draw the line?

Should politicians who openly boast about manipulating elections still be trusted with the power to shape our democracy?

Is this political audacity, or an admission that our electoral system has become a playground for the powerful?

What do you think?

If all is fair in politics, is Davido right not to apologise to Governor Monday Okpebholo for posting his D7 result?

Do you agree that Monday Okpebholo contributed to the loss of the APC in the Osun Governorship election which was held on Saturday, August 15?

Is this the height of sycophancy, or just another attempt to massage the ego of a man who appears not to understand his own limitations?

Who is Monday Okpebholo to “hold firm” to the belief of the Osun people? Does Monday Okpebholo even understand what democracy means?

Okpebholo is a man who has demonstrated that he cannot differentiate between a general meeting, a Governors’ Forum and a National Economic Council meeting, yet he is now being presented as some authority on the democratic choices of the Osun people.

Daniel Emeya if you don't know what to tell Monday Okpebholo, perhaps the most sensible thing to do is to shut up rather than flatter his ego and compound his confusion.
