Isaac Fayose, an internet celebrity and businessman, has voiced doubt that the change of government that some Nigerians are calling for can be accomplished through the electoral process, claiming that only divine intervention can change the current political course.
In response to the results of the most recent Federal Capital Territory area council elections, Fayose made the comments in a post that was posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won the majority of the chairmanship seats in the council elections, which were held by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Opposition leaders, however, claimed that voter intimidation, violence, and vote buying tainted the process.
In response to the event, Fayose voiced his disapproval of the electoral process and his gloom for upcoming elections.
“INEC is a breeding ground for electoral fraud and irregularities.” Any Nigerian who is fooling himself about yesterday’s Abuja local government election is someone I laugh at,” he tweeted.
The billionaire went on to say that the results of the FCT election might resemble those of upcoming national surveys.
“The results of yesterday’s Abuja local government election and the results of the upcoming presidential election will actually not differ all that much,” he said.
Instead of depending only on the political process, he encouraged Nigerians who are unhappy with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to look for spiritual assistance.
Fayose wrote, “Any Nigerian who is dissatisfied with the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led APC government should use this Lenten season to seek God’s intervention for Nigeria and beg God to divinely remove APC because, as it stands today, the votes of the Nigerian electorate are incapable of terminating or dislodging them from office in 2027.”
“It’s well with Nigeria and Nigerians,” Fayose said as he concluded his speech, despite his criticism. IJN, amen.
