Opinion: My Conscience Won't Let Me Vote In 2023 by adanny01(m): 10:44pm On Jun 11, 2022
The last time I voted was 2015. My conscience didn't let me vote in 2019. 2023, I am planning to stay away again.

In 2015, I was disappointed with GEJ for his inactions and I felt we needed a decisive and more proactive president who has integrity. GEJ Vs GMB for me was a choice between the "devil and the deep blue sea". My opinion then was that the devil is bad news, the deep blue sea has a little bit of hope. So I went for the hope that GMB could do better. Ofcourse, I was disappointed.

So in 2019, GMB Vs Atiku looked like a devil Vs a devil. There was no lesser devil so I stayed away from the ballot.

2023, we have the same thing, Tinubu vs Atiku is the same as a devil Vs a devil. Even though Tinubu seem to be like a lesser devil because of GEJ/GMB experience (both indecisive), Tinubu is as ruthless as OBJ, and politicians need a little strong head. Atiku just wants to make this country a business empire in his name.

Albeit, the real reason I would want to stay away is that my conscience will not let me repeat same mistakes. I also know that Nigerians have no choice as long as indirect primaries is still being used.

I rather pray and fast for Nigeria on that day than stress myself on people who have no true intentions of making this country great.

Nigeria don't need prayers, we actually need action.

Step outside and vote.
