Election 2023: “Don’t Lose Family Or Friends Over Elections” — Media Personality Toke Makinwa Advises

Media personality, entrepreneur and influencer, Toke Makinwa has warned Nigerians against violence over the forthcoming election.

Taking to her verified Twitter account of over 1M followers, Toke advised people to stop fighting, insulting and arguing online, it’s a waste of time, she added.

Clarify to supporters that all candidates are not enemies, she wrote; “Pls stop fighting/insulting/arguing online, it’s a waste of time and energy. Moreover, elections are not won online and because someone doesn’t share the same political views as you do does not mean you can’t respect them. Use your PVC and keep it moving.”

“All the candidates are not enemies, you don’t have to insult anyone because they do not support who you are supporting. A peaceful election starts with you.

“Last 4 years my dad and I were on opposing sides, we aired our views over a glass of wine, we left the same house to go to the polling unit, casted our votes, his candidate won and we had some wine after again with no one gloating. Pls don’t lose friends/family over the election.”
