You know, I've noticed that anytime there's a big political rumor, like "Akwa Ibom commissioner resigns," it blows up super fast online, even if it turns out to be fake. I think a lot of it happens because people love a dramatic story, especially when it’s about politicians switching sides. Everyone wants to be the first to share the hot gossip, and social media makes it easy for stuff to spread like wildfire. In this case, there were rumors about commissioners resigning because the governor was supposed to switch parties, and honestly, people are kind of expecting drama during election seasons.

But here’s the kicker: even when the officials flat-out deny it, the story is already everywhere. I remember last year when something similar happened in my state, and my WhatsApp was blowing up with memes and fake news for days. People almost want the story to be true because it shakes up the status quo. So yeah, I think it’s partly because drama sells, and partly because there’s a weird excitement around politicians not wanting to follow their leaders to a new party. It gets everyone talking, and before you know it, everyone thinks they’re a political expert. If you wanna know the real deal, it's always best to wait for an official statement from the commissioners themselves.
