3 Political Games To Play For Coming 2019 Elections


The Nigerian 2019 Elections is scheduled for the coming weeks, and the entertainment industry is partaking in it the best way they know how. In music, Falz the Bahd guy released his Moral Instruction album while 2Baba along with other prominent Nigerian artists released a Not For Sale conscious message in collaboration with INEC and ECES (European Center for Electoral Support).
Gaming is not left out as three political games have emerged these past few months. The three political games don’t require a lot of brain power and are quite fun to play, with the best part being… they are all for free. If there is one particular presidential candidate that you like, you can now play as him/her. Or if you’re an avid card-carrying member of a political party, you now have the chance to crush other opposition parties you don’t like.
Here are the 3 political games for the 2019 elections on Android

APC vs PDP is a fast-paced arcade game where you play as a corps member in charge of managing the voting process of a polling station. Your job as the youth corper and INEC official in charge of a polling booth is to ensure a free and fair election takes place. If not managed properly, then the resulting outcome is publicised.

APC vs PDP has a rather simple gameplay mechanic. You just have to correspond the correct ballot box to a voter’s preferred party (shown by the object in his/her hand) on the queue. You also need to be very quick as voters expectations, mood and anticipation can get intense. Although the gameplay turns out to be very repetitive, it does provide a good workout session for essential hand-eye coordination.
APC vs PDP is also on iOS and you can compete on a leaderboard to show how good you are. The game is also localised in Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo for easy accessibility.

Naija Defense is a casual thumb mashing arcade game where you play as the incumbent party trying to defend and retain their reign. You begin as the current ruling party (APC), and your job is to fend off opposition parties and win your re-election campaign. Your successful re-election bid is dependent on how long you can repel opposing forces from deposing you.
Gameplay is relatively simple as it requires tapping the screen to change the direction of the ruling party. Each tap or press reverses the direction of the ruling party to the opposing side. There is also a special ability that allows you to move twice as fast if you press and hold the screen for a little longer.  
There is a shop where you can purchase and upgrade your shields, which give you an extra layer of protection and make you play for longer. In the same shop, you can unlock and defect to other prominent political parties as with real life. There are 17 political parties including PDP, APGA, YPP, AD, AAC and ANN you can switch allegiance to.
If you’re very good, you can compete among other high scoring players on the top defenders' leaderboard.

Naija Rush is a 3D endless runner game where you play as any prominent 2019 presidential candidate of your choice in a race towards Aso Rock. In your race, you have to overcome various obstacles and barriers to collect the needed votes for your preferred presidential candidate need to win.

Naija Rush’s gameplay is quite similar to other endless runners. Swipe up to jump over obstacles, swipe down to roll under some and swipe left and right to change lanes. You can also change settings to use the gyroscope instead of swiping horizontally.
So If you’re really into politics, we recommend giving them a try to get the edge off while you await the result of the electoral votes.
