With the conclusion of the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections, I congratulate all the elected governors and assembly members for earning the mandate of the people. The March 18 governorship election held across 28 states and the state legislative poll across the 36 states of the federation have brought the 2023 election circle to a fitting close.

I must praise President Muhammadu Buhari, the Independent National Electoral Commission, security agencies, Observer Groups, Civil Society Organisations, development partners and the electorate for the success of the elections. The election is pivotal to the growth and sustenance of democracy and democratic governance at the state level.

Consolidating democratic governance at the sub-national level will bring more development and improved quality of life to the masses. The more we entrench and consolidate the gains of our democratic venture across the length and breadth of our country, the more our people benefit in terms of dividends of democracy and good governance.

However, I’m saddened by the reported isolated infractions during the elections and its aftermath in some states. I strongly condemn it. Also, the report of arson after the announcement of governorship results in one state did not represent who we truly are: peace-loving people.

The physical and verbal assaults committed are unacceptable and antithetical to democratic ethos.

Elections should be a celebration of our maturing democracy and freedom of choice and ought not to be moments of grief. I am particularly pained by cases of ethnic slurs, which are capable of creating needless mis-characterisation reported in some locations.

My appeal is for us to rise above our differences, which, in reality, are fewer than the valued strings that bind us together as a people irrespective of the circumstances of our births.

This is it. It’s time to move ahead, we are all wonderful people. Religion and tribe shouldn’t be a yardstick for discrimination,we were first human before those things (religion and tribe) . Religious sentiment and tribalism disgust the hell out of me.

Healing process indeed!
So after four years we would still witness another malicious electioneering then another healing process would continue again...

It's just like a vicious cycle and no amount of healing would ever atone for the deepest cuts inflicted on our hearts.

Despite your partisanship, I think you are a patriot

Nigeria can never be the same again forget these election has come and gone it's more of a Chess game now .....

Anyhow anyhow Ibo must not get SP

Healing where? Nah.

The problem all just began. The politicians created a monster by pitting the Yoruba against the Igbos. But it just doesn't end there. The monster must be fed and when it doesn't get fed, it'll go on a rampage and destroy everything.

This is the beginning of the end.

Mark this date!

No healing without justice. Obi's stolen mandate must be retrieved and the Yoruba Obas must kneel down and truly apologize to Nigerians for their shameful act, also a National Conference must be conducted to discuss the way forward.
The Tribalism of the Yourubas just ended Nigeria.
