The Voter's Oath (Against Hunger Politics)

Read this aloud. Or read it silently. But read it as a decision, not as poetry.

I will not sell four years for one plate of rice.

I will not trade my child's school fees for a bag of garri.

I will not give my vote to someone who calculates my hunger at N3.42 per day.

I will remember: the politician who brings rice on election eve is the same politician who brings darkness for four years.

I will eat if I must, but I will vote with my conscience.

I will organize my ward.

I will calculate my true cost.

I will refuse to let my hunger become their weapon.

A citizen who knows the arithmetic is harder to buy.

This oath is not words. It is a decision.

Sign it with your vote.

For distribution in markets, mosques, churches, schools, and WhatsApp groups. For the hungry voter who deserves better than election-day rice. For the market woman whose pepper is real and whose vote is priceless.
