Elections Aren’t Won On Twitter, Moghalu Tells Youths
Former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu, has said elections in Nigeria are not fought and won on social media.
Moghalu who is also the former presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress disclosed in a Twitter post on Friday that elections are rather won by effective structural presence and mobilisation strategies at the micro levels at polling units.
He said;
“Nigerian elections are not fought and won on Twitter, although social media is certainly a factor, especially for young people. But overall, elections are won by effective structural presence and mobilisation at the micro levels at polling units, mainly in rural areas..
“Illit3racy and pov3rty are still huge factors in Nigerian politics. The numbers of people with susceptibility to these factors are still more than those who are not.
“The only variable that can break this really is if young people actually turn out in overwhelming numbers and and if they vote predominantly in any particular direction.
“@inecnigeria is also perhaps the most important factor of all. They swear they will do better this time. To paraphrase the strategic Cold War doctrine during the nuclear arms race in the 80s, Trust, but Verify.”
