The 2023 presidential election witnessed so many narratives described as unprecedented in the history of Nigeria elections. According to political analysts, it was brazen, it was desperate, it was hard to believe that the nation, instead of improving to catch up with other advanced countries, is retrogressing to say the least.
The election witnessed so much destruction including bloodbaths. Instead of jubilation when a winner was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the wee hour of March 1, 2023, there was silence everywhere
Shakespeare captured the graveyard silence that greeted the announcement when he said, “When beggars die, there are no comets seen.” This quotation aptly captured the announcement by the INEC, there were dearth of jubilation.
Aside the graveyard silence that greeted the announcement, the election was widely condemned and discredited both at home and abroad.
