And if there had been a full election campaign, with debates and discussions, with candidates putting forward their ideas and explaining their credentials, and at the end of that process APC had sat down and agreed that they liked the TIL candidate best and TIL had sat down and agreed they liked the APC candidate best... yeah, that would be fine. That would be how the system is meant to work.

But that didn't happen. The APC and TIL leaders met in secret at the start of elections, and agreed that TIL could pick who was MoFA and APC could pick who was MoMA. That's electioneering, plain and simple.
