The 2023 presidential election in Nigeria is indeed a historic one. After the elections, many persons say the country is gradually approaching the greatest protest in its history.
The Independent National Electoral commission (INEC), seem to have flawed its own rules and some Nigerians feel robbed in broad daylight and they are angry about it.
INEC appears to have also robbed other political parties and this is showing in situations following the process.
