Simi, a Nigerian singer and producer, has described the presidential and National Assembly elections held on Saturday, February 25, 2023, as the worst she has ever witnessed.
Simi expressed her dissatisfaction with the level of disenfranchisement and the use of violence against voters in a tweet.
The post reads, “It’s this deep, pulsing, soul-wrenching frustration that has made me detach. Because it’s just too much. Why are you taking away people’s rights to decide their futures and their children’s futures? Digging a bottomless pit of hopelessness. It’s so wicked and hurtful.
“This election was a sham. Worst I’ve ever seen. With undeniable, endless proof. If people say no, it’s because they believe they deserve better. But you won’t let them say no. Smh
“So this is the country we want our children and their children to inherit. Wow.
“How can you even support anything that is this blatantly corrupt? Didn’t you see the chaos yesterday. The thugs? The disenfranchisement? Regardless of who you support, shouldn’t all of us be fighting for justice and a fair election. What is your priority? Can’t you read the room?”
