So, it is pouring rain in Edo Central, and guess what? People are out in droves, casting their votes despite some election materials arriving fashionably late. Yep, democracy might be slow, but is still alive and kicking. Voters across Esan South-East, Igueben, Esan North East, Esan West and Esan Central Local Government Areas are showing up, rain or shine. Because, honestly, why should a little water get in the way of having a say in your future, right?
This is not just about marking a ballot it is about making sure voices are heard loud and clear. Sure, delays in distributing materials might’ve thrown a wrench in things, but voters aren't having it. The rain? That’s just background noise. It’s all about determination. After all, is not every day you get to decide who’s running the show in your state.
You can feel the energy, even if you're not there. The rain’s more like an afterthought for the folks at the polling stations. It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder, what else would they be willing to push through if it means shaping the future of Edo?
