Prologue:
On the 53rd day of the year 1956, in the quiet town of Ubomiri, Imo State, a "Lion" was born. Ten years ago, the technology world gathered to celebrate that Lion at 60, dissecting the bravery inherent in the name Leonhard and the pioneering spirit of Stanley. Today, as Dr. Leonard Nnamdi Stanley Ekeh marks his 70th platinum jubilee, the industry recognizes a profound metamorphosis. 

The "Lion" who once fought for a seat at the table has evolved into the Field-Marshall of Anticipators and the Guardian of the Industry, presiding over a digital colony he spent four decades building.

Despite a 94.4% PVC collection rate, the AMAC election last Saturday, February 21, 2026, saw a dismal 7% turnout. Remmy Nweke in this WeekendDigits@ITREALMS explores this 'Apartheid of Apathy,' a chilling trust deficit threatening the heart of Nigeria's democracy.

Silence of polling booths:
The dust has settled on the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) election, but the silence from the polling booths is deafening. Despite optimistic pre-election data, the outcome has left scholars, statesmen, and citizens grappling with a staggering paradox: high readiness, but record-low participation.

Great disconnect: 94% Readiness, 7% Turnout:
Ahead of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) council elections scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) disclosed that over 1.58 million Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) had been collected across the FCT.
