SIMI wrote:It’s this deep, pulsing, soul-wrenching frustration that has made me detach. Because it’s just too much. Why are you taking away people’s rights to decide their futures and their children’s futures? Digging a bottomless pit of hopelessness. It’s so wicked and hurtful. This election was a sham. Worst I’ve ever seen. With undeniable, endless proof. If people say no, it’s because they believe they deserve better. But you won’t let them say no.

Seyi lawwrote: My fellow Nigerians, I am happy you’re as passionate as you are about your preferred candidates. That is the way politics should be. However, bitterness and hatred towards one another shouldn’t have a place between us.You might not see things the way I see it. That doesn’t mean you are wrong, and I am right. It just means that we are different. If your candidates have won, I would have prayed and worked for his success and mine. I apologise to those offended by my support, and I seriously condemn all the violence across the country. I have mixed feelings not for my candidate’s winning, but your genuine angers. However, I pray Nigeria and Nigerians lives get better.From the bottom of my heart, I say THANK YOU.

Mr Macaroni via a video clip on his official account said: Greatest Nigeria youth, smile now abeg smile, because we have a lot to smile about and I would tell you something, never again in Nigeria will anyone undermine the influence of the Nigeria youth, because never again in this country will anyone underestimate the power the young people have. That is what happened, the power that the peoplehave was hugely underestimated all in the name of the structure dey somewhere, all in the name of, oh! Na some people get that power,no. if there is anything this time has thought us is that, the power belongs to you and it belong to me and it belong to us, it belongs to the people. The Nigeria youth have come out and we have demystified that structure.we have started what we cannot finish but we must finish it. We have started something great.

I remain resolute in my support for peter Gregory Obi. I no kuku dey give up with all the things my eyes have seen inside my own life and in my beloved country. My mind is alert and totally undefeated. Kate also replied to Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press secretary/ Media Adviser to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on a post he made on twitter: She said “I just dey respect you because e be like say you are older than I am, just stop talking gibberish! For how long will you make excuses for incompetence? You are a beneficiary of the status quo. Step aside, circumspect koor, circumcision ni. No wonder, Chief press sec & media adviser to Mar-the-mood. So, the over N300Billion you collected was to conduct this sham of an exercise that has made us a laughing stock of the world? You should hang your head in shame, Mr Rotimi!! You have just one job to do, and you should be proficient at it! I am very proud at my job. Why promise us that all was going to be OK using the BVAS & yet this is what you ended up with?? You failed! If you think you did half a decent job, look in the mirror well”.
