It is hours before the 2023 presidential election which has 18 candidates jostling to take over from outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari in May.
As campaigns closed on Thursday, over 93 million registered voters are now waiting for Saturday to pick from among the candidates whose electoral promises they have found to be most persuasive in the last few months.
Predictably, insecurity and a bad economy have dominated the campaigns in this election cycle. The two issues were part of Mr Buhari’s top three focus areas that he promised to tackle decisively while campaigning for office in 2015. Most of the presidential candidates in this election season have criticised the Buhari administration’s approach to handling the issues. Insisting that more Nigerians have become poorer and the country less secure on his watch.
