2019 Election: Voters Participation

by YMonitor

The show was a post motem on the 2019 election, featuring first time voter, Aisha Salaudeen, and Wofai Jimmy Robert, a lawyer.

The low voter turn out was a critical point for Aisha who said she was not surprise by the poor turn out which she claimed was cursed by the postponement of the election.

Wofai believe that apart from  2003 where we had a slight improvement, we had always had electoral apathy in Nigeria. He claimed that electoral violence had always been the reason why people keep out of voting. People felt that they are not safe, they felt the election has already been decided before the voting day. So why would anyone participate in an election where they feel that the winner had been pre-determined long before it started. see link to video below.
