Stop Pre-Election Excuses: Build a Stronger Opposition

Many Nigerian opposition groups rush to declare an election rigged before a single vote is cast. They complain about unfair questions and bribed officials without practical plans. True vigilance means training agents, documenting every ballot, mobilizing voters, and preparing legal challenges. An opposition that only predicts defeat is like a student blaming the examiner instead of studying. This defeatism demoralizes volunteers and discourages turnout. When followers believe the contest is already lost, they ask: why bother voting or monitoring the process? A serious opposition contests vigorously, gathers evidence, and challenges malpractice with facts. Effective preparation always beats premature complaints.
