I love my girlfriend on a somewhat absurd level, completely without explanation. I'm a fan of her, an admirer of her, and I'm proud of her. I love her smile, her voice, her way, her quirks, and even the little things that probably only I notice. But above all, I love her soul.
“You’re carrying our votes, and you are receiving calls. Drop that phone immediately.”
— Watch as residents of Ward Okerewe 3, Ife East LGA, Osun State, followed their votes to the collation centre on motorcycles yesterday after noticing that the driver was receiving several phone calls.
We are not in trouble. The people of Osun State have shown us what courage looks like.
They are rejecting the APC by coming out in their numbers to vote, and more importantly, they are refusing to leave the protection of their votes entirely in the hands of one politician. Each person is taking responsibility for their own vote.
Nobody is asking Adeleke how he plans to protect their votes. The people themselves are protecting them.
They demanded that the ballot papers delivered to each polling unit be counted before voting commenced. They rejected inducements, or at least collected the money offered by the APC and still voted for Accord. They counted their votes, challenged polling officials who recorded incorrect figures, and I have no doubt that many will remain at the various collation centres until the final result is announced.
This is how we should do it come January 2027.
