Doesn't matter who gets in power, whether through Democracy or a war. The idea of elections and politics is a fraud and scam. Today you vote someone thinking that they are the best leader you will ever have only for them to turn into bloody vampires tomorrow once you hand them a lot of power.
Most Nigerians before and after the election have come out to publicly proclaim the support for a particular political party candidate just like ops mentioned his own party and candidate, but most of them failed to take the time to check what are the possibilities of the leader if elected not rolling according to their expectations because just as you have said politicians can't be trusted.
-And the also seems to have forgotten so soon how in 2015 A particular politician was pronounced as the political Messiah Nigeria but when he eventually won the election his 8 years tenure have become the worst for Nigeria economy., and this time again history may repeat itself if their preferred candidates win.
It seems Nigeria is in a very volatile state at the moment. Anything going wrong could trigger a war and bloodshed. Personally, I hope it does not happen. No politician is worth losing their life for.
We already lost some life during the election yesterday but those are political thugs hired to disrupt the electoral process and possibly rig the election in favor their pay masters, but truth be told, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is far from going to war over election issues we are more advance than that.
-If there be any politician who is not satisfied with the election process of the final result, there is already an established electoral tribunal to establish their case.
