A protester in Abuja went viral after arriving from Lagos with a large pot and spoon, saying he didn’t travel just to waste time.
A protester in Abuja went viral after arriving from Lagos with a large pot and spoon, saying he didn’t travel just to waste time.
According to him, “If you cook for the community, they will finish it. But if the community cooks for you, you cannot finish that food.”
He accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of “cooking for Nigeria” and declared that Nigerians are now ready to return the favour.
He was clear about his demand: nothing short of electronic transmission of election results will be accepted. He argued that any party claiming to be the biggest in Africa should prove its popularity transparently, not through what he described as “backdoor elections.”
“If you fool us once, the shame is on you. If you fool us twice, the shame is on us,” he said, referencing the 2023 elections and warning that 2027 must be different.
Responding to claims that poor network coverage could affect electronic transmission, he dismissed the argument outright.
He pointed out that POS machines, electricity meters, and internet access exist across Nigeria, noting that over 140 million Nigerians are connected to the internet, while registered voters were about 93 million in 2023.
His message was simple but firm: Nigerians are ready and will no longer accept excuses when it comes to their votes
