__Nigeria, a multi-ethnic and culturally diverse federation of 36 quasi-autonomous states and a federal capital territory plagued with economic crisis, insecurity, underdevelopment and political aparthy as a result of corruption in all arms and levels of it's government, has began to witness a shift in it's political landscape from the current political behaviour of it's citizens in the 2023 Presidential and House of Assembly General Elections that commenced on the 25th of February, 2023.
__The political landscape predominantly dominated by the ruling All Progressives Congress party (APC) which controls the executive arm of government and holds majority seats at both the Senate and House of Representatives in parliament, and majority of the States is currently facing a new wave with the entry of Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State, known with impeccable character and outstanding performance into Labour Party. Obi's entry to Presidential Race has to a great extent raised the hope of Nigerian masses and the youth population to discard political apathy and massively obtained PVCs to vote in good leaders.
__Currently, 40% of Nigerians (83 million people) live below the poverty line, while another 25% (53 million) are vulnerable.
Our full report of the turnout, reactions, responses from the voters across several polling units will be published shortly.
