Election in Nigeria to elect the President and State Governors is coming up on Saturday, Fourteenth, February, 2015.

There are not only two parties in Nigeria, but out of about twenty-eight registered parties, two of these parties stand out – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC). Out of the two parties, Governorship election will take place in some Western States such as: Lagos between Akinwunmi Ambode and Jimi Agbaje; Ogun between incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun and Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka and in Oyo between incumbent Governor (Senator) Abiola Ajimobi and Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin. No Governorship election in these States: Osun because the incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola was re-elected on August nine, 2014; while Ekiti re-elected Governor Ayodele Fayose in place of Governor Kayode Fayemi on June twenty-one, 2014. The incumbent in Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko will complete his term in 2016.

It is necessary for voters to find out more about nominated candidates before election. In the past sixteen years, election has been held every four years since Democratic Government took over from the Military Government. Since then there has been little dividend of democracy for the people, because the Politicians have been using their positions to embezzle public funds. Instead of providing the basic infrastructure such as steady power supply, potable water, roads, enact laws and obeying the laws to reduce evil act in the society such as corruption and other ills, they have been contributing to the destruction.

According to Yoruba adage that is translated as “Leaving leprosy for the cure of ring-worm” meaning leaving the important issue for the trivial. This adage is relevant to how the Politicians have been distributing money and imported bags of rice to canvass votes shortly before election instead of having a credible manifesto on moving the country forward. People should be wary of Politicians that share money and rice to attract votes. The cost of what they are sharing is nothing in comparison to the embezzled budgeted funds for infrastructure that could have been used to provide: public Schools; good roads, potable water; youth employment, well equipped hospitals, equipping the Military and Police to enable them protect the people etc. As a result of this, voters should ensure they cast their votes for Politicians that they believe would serve the best interest of the masses. By God’s grace the coming election will not scatter the country.
