Intimidation and corruption in Nigeria are practised in different ways by most politicians in the country. They believe that there is nothing anyone can do to stop them, especially when they set their minds on a mission to achieve their evil agendas. Our point is that Senator Ahmed Lawan bought the presidential ticket of his political party, which ruled him out of contesting for any other political position as required by electoral law. But when he failed to get the presidential ticket of his political party, he quickly went back to collect the senatorial ticket from the rightful candidate, who is Mr. Machina. A court of law in Nigeria has finally taken a decision on that issue and stated that Senator Ahmed Lawan is not the rightful candidate. If the court had not intervened, he would have used his position as the senate president of Nigeria to forcefully take another person’s mandate. This is politics in Nigeria for you. A new Nigeria is about to begin in 2023, where all sorts of manipulation will have to stop. The Viewers Corner News team applauds the court in Nigeria for standing by the truth on this issue. We would also appeal to the court in Nigeria to look into Governor David Umahi’s issue. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state also participated in the presidential primary of his political party and lost. Later, he went back and carried out some manipulations which enabled him and the Independent National Electoral Commission officials in Ebonyi state to conduct a fresh senatorial election which declared him the winner, after a court of law in Ebonyi state had earlier declared Mrs. Ann Agom Eze as the senatorial candidate. Governor David Umahi might have connived with some dubious Independent National Electoral Commission’s officials in Ebonyi state to deprive Ann Agom Eze the right to represent her constituency, which is bad.
