There are lots of speculations as to what will happen on the day of the presidential election, which will hold on February 25, 2023.
Indeed, there is so much excitement about the period. People eager to perform their civic duties.
Also, there are others terrified about what could go wrong on that day in terms of voter safety.
This is because there have been a series of protests and outbursts of anger from citizens toward the government over national issues such as the ASUU strike, which lasted from February 14, 2022 to October 14, 2022, insecurity, fuel and Naira scarcity, and so on.
We cannot say for sure what the outcome of the election will be or what will happen on that day.
Although, we have been promised a free and fair election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, you should put some things in place before the day of the election.
Stock Up On Food And Groceries At Home

This means that stores, markets, and malls may be closed. It’s best to buy everything you will need ahead of time.
Get Cash If you Can
We know that this is a tough one, as there is scarcity of cash.
It may be challenging to have access to cash on election day as banks don’t open on weekends and Point Of Sales (POS) agents may not be in operation for security reasons.
Have Enough Data And Airtime On Your Mobile Devices
Even if you go out to vote, there will be a need for you to be aware of happenings within and outside your area.
With this, you will be able to access more information, using the social media. Remember that you won’t be at home to watch the news on television.
In cases of emergency, you should have enough airtime on your phone to reach out for help.
Election Will Come And Go
Whatever happens in the forthcoming presidential election, ensure you stay alert and do not compromise on your safety or that of your loved ones.
Vote wisely.
