Nigerians, Nigerians think, think deep. For now, any candidates that come from APC or PDP are rising from a bedrock of corruption and impunity. The only way we can change Nigeria for the better is to set aside all forms of sentiments and vote other party candidates enmasse. Do that and watch the positive change happen without prayer and fasting.
