NIGERIANS HAVE SEEN THROUGH THIER GAME! The fastest-selling narrative in Nigerian politics today is that if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wins an election, it is because of rigging; if the All Progressives Congress (APC) wins, then it is the will of the people. After the June 21 Ekiti election, in which PDP’s Ayo Fayose defeated Governor Kayode Fayemi ... a new line has been added to the narrative: if PDP wins, it is because the candidate distributed rice and vegetable oil; if APC wins, then the people have spoken without inducement. And one more line: if PDP wins, it is because of “militarisation”; if APC wins, it is a product of “free” democratic atmosphere. -Simon Kolawale, former Editor, Thisday.
