Nine dishonourable quotes from Nigeria’s 2023 elections: Who said what

The 2023 general elections may have come and gone, but its echoes keep reverberating and refusing to go away, just as issues thrown up by the elections keep dominating both traditional and social media in the country.

By popular consensus, the just concluded elections were adjudged as the most divisive and controversial in the history of the country, not because they were worst in terms of organisation or credibility of the process, but because of the actions and utterances of political actors, who literally almost set the nation on fire.

There is no controversy about the fact that the 2023 elections were an improvement on past elections, especially with the adoption of technology, especially the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS), which actively reduced incidences of over voting, ghost voting, ballot box snatching and other electoral malpractices.
