What we have just witnessed in Rivers State is not an election, it is a grand betrayal of the people. To allow a Sole Administrator, illegally imposed in the first place, to conduct a Local Government election is rascality taken to its peak. It is a double tragedy: a democracy denied, and a people silenced..
This is unconstitutional. This is illegitimate. And this is dangerous. For when leaders desecrate the sanctity of the ballot, they are not governing, they are ruling by force. But let it be known, illegality can never produce legitimacy. Any government built on falsehood and lawlessness is nothing but tyranny in disguise..
Grassroots democracy is the heartbeat of Nigeria. If we kill it, we kill the nation’s future. That is why I, Dr. Moses Paul, stand firmly with the people, for free elections, for true representation, for leadership that flows from the people’s mandate, not from the backdoor manipulations of the powerful..
As I offer myself to serve the good people of AMAC, I make this vow: under my watch, the ballot will be sacred, the people’s voice will be loud, and governance will return to those it belongs to, the people themselves.
This is why AMAC must rise in 2026 and choose wisely. We must prove that democracy still lives at the grassroots, and that no contraption of illegality will silence the will of the people.
Together, we will build an AMAC that works, an AMAC that shines as the true face of democracy in Nigeria.
May God grant us the courage to reject deceit, defend the truth, and reclaim power for the people. Amen.
May this new month bring peace, progress, and prosperity to every family and every community in AMAC. Amen.
