Why election shouldn’t be seen as a game where the best at spreading money, rigging wins – Ruggedman

Nigerian rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens professionally known as Ruggedman has stated that elections should not be seen as a game where the candidate who is good at spreading money or rigging wins.

The rapper who hails from Abia state shared this while revealing his thoughts on the upcoming 2023 general election.

Ruggedman in his tweets stated that a lot of supposed learned Nigerians have allowed tribe and greed to overshadow their morals.

He stated that instead of seeing elections as a chance to put good people in places of power to make life better for Nigerians, these learned Nigerians see elections as a game where the best at spreading money and rigging wins.

Ruggedman also asked how the actions of these learned Nigerians would lead to positive and progressive changes in the country.

He tweeted:

“Its so sad that a lot of supposed learned Nigerians have allowed tribe and greed overshadow their morals. They don’t see elections as a chance to put good people in places of power to make life better for Nigerians.

“Instead they see elections as a game where the best at spreading money and rigging wins. How exactly do you expect positive change and progress from such?

“Do not vote because the candidate is your friend or from your village or paid you money. Vote because he/she is the most qualified person to move the country forward. Vote wisely.”
