In 2023 general election, they are countless reasons millions of Nigerians will never want to vote the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Here, I just want to do a little job of saving Nigerians the stress, by counting just 10 “classic reason” out of many why the “Broom logo” should NEVER be an option in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
1). The Same Set of People.
Without far fetch, they would be no different between the current set of political leaders in the Buhari administration from the ones to come if APC emerges in 2023.
You and I can’t pretend we know nothing about the corrupt leadership system in Buhari’s administration, despite being hashtag with the slogan of fighting corruption. They still remain the most corrupt set of public office holders that Nigeria has ever had.
Maybe, you will have to call Late Sani Abacha a saint if a different political party emerges and decides to put administrative office holders of the Buhari – APC led administration on EFCC hunt list.
2). Inability to Fix Nigeria
APC will do anything to remain in power and blame PDP’s 16 years in power. That’s all they will tell Nigerians – “they inherited a bad economy system”.
Of course, they did. Not even PDP are saints. But track back to 2015 when they promised Nigerians “heaven on Earth”, only for Nigerians to fall into the deepest hellfire. That is pure scam.
Hunger level in the country is steadily increasing. Inflation has gone passed it peak. Education is completely frustrated and struggling to breathe in their hands. Security is a no-go-area. Which would be say leaving the others? Is this how to fix a country? As they’ve promised in 2015. After almost 8years.
In 2023, if we truly want to pick our pieces and cash back our dearest country from that fatal lies and betrayers we’ve been subjected into, APC shouldn’t be anywhere close to our minds.
3). Choice of Ticket
Sincerely they is nothing wrong with a Muslim-Muslim ticket but in Nigeria everything is wrong.
The fact remains that a country diversify as Nigeria, we have lived to pride religion from the depth of our hearts, and if no one can do anything about that, certainly every religion should be giving a sense of belonging politically when it comes to leadership.
When Christians were slaughtered in some parts of the country what did the current Muslim President said about it?
When the current President appointed Muslims into key positions in the security of the nation, did he thought about the Christian brothers?
Then none should say religion doesn’t matter in governance. I will have to stop here in other not to look as if I am plying the wheel of religion sentiment, but the truth here is crystal clear if you lives in Nigeria and in the northern part, in particular.
Nigeria needs a government that would balance religion representation at the top level, not the same faith that would clap for it religion and plays “I don’t care” when other religions are being slaughtered.
4). Cash Back After Election
No two ways about this. APC as a party and it candidate will spend a fortune in this coming election and are ready to spend much more just to get into power.
Guess what? If they should eventually win, logically, it’s only right for you to understand that they’ll lovely want to cash back their money spend in the election and make more profit before anything, if at all they have anything else to offer rather than the continuation of their looting spree from where they would’ve stopped in the current administration.
That means if they should spend 1 naira in the next election, they would probably be harvesting 3 – 4 naira as profit, and it’s all from our nation’s treasury.
No sentiment about this. This is the big secret while Nigeria politicians would never do well in Nigeria. The money they spend in an election is way too much. And the ruling APC are underway on this sacrilegious spending. If they materializes themselves in 2023, then you can foresee the complete sinking of the country’s wealth. I think Abacha’s loot would be learning from this APC men and women.
5). Reported issues of Health Challenges
It’s the desire of every man to be healthy and serve it purpose on earth. Sincerely wishing everyone good health and prosperity.
But let’s be realistic and call a sharpened spade a spade. The same way health challenges could truncate a person’s life processes is the same way it will truncate administrative processes.
The current administration had similar rumours of health challenges in 2015 but Nigerians were so loud with “Sai Baba” not to figure out it could turn out this way. And at the end of the day his wife came out publicly to say Cabals has hijacked the government.
If the President was not visiting those hospital abroad and was completely fit to his bone, roaring Cabals wouldn’t have had the flexible opportunity to hijack government. Maybe our economy wouldn’t be in a deep mess today.
So, rhetorically, this is a catch-up point not to let go and should be made a considerable fact when going to the Poll in 2023.
6). Smooth Transition to Bankruptcy After 2023 General Election
Statistics has shown that the country is going bankruptcy. This is no news any longer. We are far from recovering from our debt soon and such political party shouldn’t be voted back to power.
In fact, the next phase of our lives as citizens of Nigeria is not to elect someone who championed a failed government but to meritoriously vote for someone who will effectively reduce the cost of governance and manage the current crises into a befitting end, by cleaning up their APC messes.
If possible force the current administration to vomit the money they have swallowed through the mysterious snakes in their 8 years of running the country hopelessly.

7). Fake Promises in 2015 General Election
They succeeded in playing Nigerians into believing their fake promises.
Their campaign warrior in 2015 is currently their presidential candidate in 2023. Which of the promises where kept?
If non has come to fulfillment then all were fake. This is straightforward, if they can’t do it then and now, definitely not in 2023 or beyond if elected.
“Once Bitten, Twice Shy”. 2023 is just that right time to pay them back in their own coins.
8). Checks and Balances
Can you remember when APC took over power from PDP in 2015 and exactly how they went after PDP members that stole funds. Example; Security funds – money made for purchasing of Arms to fight insecurity, that same case that paraded the Chief security adviser and other top officials of the Jonathan led government? That is the checks I am referring to.
That’s is exactly what will happen when you decide not to vote for APC in 2023 and make them prone to EFCC. Only then will u understand the amount they have stolen so far while in government. And maybe have a reason to thank Late Gen. Sani Abacha.
9). Equity And Fairness
This aspect is straight forward and has continuously being said – that for the purpose of equity and fairness, power should be shifted to the south eastern part of the country.
However, it’s only reasonable to think about the unity of the country first before any political, ethnic and self interest.
APC as a party hasn’t placed the interest of the country above all. They were only fast in deceiving the people of south east in 2019 that power would return to the region after the Buhari administration, only to secure the ticket for a believed political heavyweight rather than fulfilling promises.
Hence, voting APC back as a party means trying to jeopardize the unity of the nation, not now that it’s becoming clearer by the day on the sight of international communities that the people of the South eastern part of the country are being marginalize. 2023 should just be that time to fix that right again.
10). Nigeria & Nigerians are Endanger
We live in a country where we have no voice. Human right has been defeated and the Rule of Law has been trampled by those who should be upholding it.
The police brutality that led to ENDSARS and other major crises that happened in the country after the APC government took over endangers our future and hope for unborn children.
Today in Nigeria, we need more than someone to call a president. We need someone to consolidate us. We need someone to sympathize with the pain that being a Nigerian has caused us in the pass years of our unity and loyalty to our mother’s land.
We don’t need just anyone. We need someone with proven heart of gold that would be accountable and transparent, knowing that millions of people are being affected when he attempt to keep mute when terrorist attacks our villages, farmlands and highways. Thereby, rendering us homeless, hungry and fill with everlasting and irreconcilable pains in our heart. Knowing fully well, we have have done nothing wrong to be citizens of Nigeria.
Above all, we need a president we can be proud of at international level. Someone who is brained and interested in international affairs, to lift up that slogan – “Giant of Africa” ones again. And trust me, all you can get from APC right now isn’t close to what Nigeria and Nigerians needs.
Conclusively, they are three reasons why people supports APC – Political party affiliation, Self interest and Tribal sentiment.
However, they are many other reasons a reasonable Nigerian would never want to vote the current administration in the next general election. Ranging from increase security threats – the worse in the history of the country. Rising Crude oil theft, devaluation of the Nigeria naira, excessive borrowing and many others. But here, we brought “Classic Reasons” that are factual to hold on to.
PEACE!!!
