2. Man travels from the US to Nigeria to vote
A Nigerian man Ugochukwu Madu had to leave his studies in America to perform his civic duty in his home country.
After voting for his preferred candidate, the Nigerian man returned to the US to focus on his PhD. He said he had done his part.
3. Nigerians entertain themselves as they vote
A CNN journalist Larry Madowo shared a photo of a polling unit in Lagos state where people were grilling meat for voters to eat as they cast their votes.
If not for the polling stand nearby, one could easily think it was a party venue with the way people were seated under and around canopies.
Nigerians predict winners for 2023 presidential elections
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that as Nigerians headed out to vote in the 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections, social media users predicted who would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari among the top three candidates.
Though 18 political parties and candidates participated in the election, three had brighter chances of winning the poll.
In a poll conducted by Legit.ng on Twitter, 64.8% of the respondents said Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, would win the election, while 22.6% went for Tinubu of the APC.
