I have been politically around for a while and have gotten some personal experiences. Some beautiful and some very terrible.
During elections and on voting day some very close people or supposedly associates will decide not to support your candidate and your Party.
You get so shocked to see that of all those contesting or those they choose to vote for they have no real connection with such persons.
Sadly, at least they are close to you and know you are connected personally to one of the candidates contesting and a loss of that candidate could be a personal loss that could affect you.
These relatives, friends and associate truly know this but to them your candidate just have to fail because that is the only way they believe they can stop you from the political position or rise that you have. It truly has nothing to do with them having a better alternative and wanting a better country. It is just a popular catch phrase to justify their jealousy and hidden animosity against you.
During the last Governorship elections, I personally experienced this from a close relatives. They just wanted my candidates to fail so that my political appointment will be gone for to them I was already too popular, continuous political appointment will make me more powerful, hmmmmm ( when one of them got high on alcohol, he opened up).
As this election process goes by, be watchful! Some of those supporting some other candidates are not doing so because they truly believe in what they profess, infact some are very happy that they now have a credible popular candidate to justify their hidden hatred and jealousy against you, against your rise now they can openly support a candidate against yours in the name of overiding public good.
We see such associates, friends and relatives everytime and even now.
‘Hater, hiding under popular candidates to campaign against the political rise of a brother, pretending with plastic smiles still makes you naked and just like Adam and Eve you have eaten the forbidden fruit and shame will be your covering.’
Do you know anyone who is presently Politically hated because they think that the rise of that person diminishes them?
To be continued!
