Wednesday 6

On Wednesday 6 September 2023, we told you that former National Vice-Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olabode George, said that it is wrong that Nigerians should be waiting for a court to declare the winner of elections, warning the judiciary against taking away the rights of the people to determine election winners, while stating that democracy is the government of the people, not of the judiciary by the judiciary and for the judiciary.

According to Bode George, INEC should be able to stand its ground in making the right decision at all costs, even if it takes conducting multiple elections to arrive at the right results.

73% agreed, while 27% disagreed.

Thursday 7

On Thursday 7 September, 2023, we said the former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, said that the mass protest tagged “occupy Nigeria”, that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests, adding that the last time Nigeria experienced economic development was during Jonathan’s administration.

According to Fayemi, a party cannot have 35 per cent of the vote and take 100 per cent, stating that the country needs proportional representation so that the party that is said to have won 21 per cent of the votes will have 21 per cent of the government and vice versa, while adding that adversary politics bring division and enmity.

And we asked what your take was on Fayemi’s submission?

5% agreed, while 95% disagreed.
