2023 elections: Nigerians must reject bribe

Vote-buying is a bane in Nigerian politics and Nwachukwu has urged the electorates to vote their conscience and reject bribes offered for votes on election day.

He added:

“Nigerians must reject bribe from politicians and vote for any presidential candidate who supports the future of Nigeria. To support any presidential candidate who can fight corruption with technology and who wants a corrupt-free country.”
