Nigerian politics calls on its people to break the political chains that have plagued the nation as the 2019 election comes close, time and time again misinformation, tampering, bribery and false campaigns sway public opinion putting completely unfit people to lead. With the internet, a part of the problem ‘misinformation‘ can be tackled by spreading content that helps in deciding consciously who exactly is right and knowledge to learn from the broken state of things and lead in a positive and innovative way. Media companies like ours owe it to everyone to broaden their knowledge on the political affairs as elections come up, social media also plays a big role.
Hello Nigerians,
Here is a thread of everyone that has so far declared their intent to run for the presidency in 2019.
Democracy is active citizenship; it’s up to us to make the right decision for our future and the future of this country.
