The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has been declared the winner of his polling unit in the Nigerian presidential election. According to the results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Tinubu received 33 votes, defeating his closest rival, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, who received eight votes. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party came a distant third, with only one vote.
The polling unit recorded voter apathy, as only 43 voters were accredited out of 324 registered voters. Voter apathy is a significant concern in the electoral process, and it is essential to promote a culture of active participation in the democratic process. It is essential for the electoral body to work towards improving voter education and awareness, to encourage citizens to exercise their civic responsibilities.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must ensure that the results are transparent and credible, and that the electoral process is free and fair. The peaceful conduct of the presidential election is critical to the growth and development of the country. All stakeholders must work together to ensure that the election is peaceful, transparent, and credible. The citizens must be assured of their safety and security during the electoral process, and measures must be put in place to prevent the outbreak of violence or any form of electoral malpractice.
The successful conduct of the presidential election will be a significant milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey, and it is essential to work towards building a sustainable democratic system that promotes peace, stability, and development.
