You Are Selling Your Future When You Sell Your Vote – Peter Obi Warns Nigerians | #extranewsblog
What is really the price of one vote?
Is ₦5k worth more than schools, hospitals, and jobs?
Peter Obi has dropped a heavy warning after Anambra’s by-election.
The former presidential candidate and Labour Party leader, Peter Obi, has once again spoken straight to the hearts of Nigerians. Reacting to the just concluded Anambra by-elections, Obi begged Nigerians to stop selling their votes, warning that it destroys the future of families and the nation.
In his words: To those who sell their votes, you are not just selling an election, you are selling the very opportunities that would have lifted you and your family out of poverty. You are selling the schools your children should attend, the hospitals to save your loved ones, and the jobs that would have given you dignity and a better life. Those who buy your vote are not doing it to serve you, but to make profit from power.
His words have stirred strong reactions, with many Nigerians admitting the painful truth in his message. Others say the hunger and poverty politicians created is the same weapon used to buy votes.
Online Reactions:
Peter Obi is 100% correct, we are the problem when we sell votes. This message is deep, but hunger makes people desperate. Vote sellers are mortgaging their children’s future. Obi is right, politicians use poverty to keep buying votes. We need more voices like this, Nigerians must wake up!
But do you think Nigerians will ever stop selling their votes despite the hardship?
Moral Lesson:The little money you collect today will finish, but the leaders you vote wrongly will control your tomorrow.
