Popular Nigerian musician Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, also known by her stage name Simi, has criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, for the way the general election of 2023 was handled.

The election process, in the singer's opinion, was disappointing and fell short of expectations given the N300 billion spent on it.

Simi further criticized Nigerian youths, particularly those who had turned into tools in the hands of desperate politicians, by informing them that the latter only had their own interests in mind.

In her song, the singer expressed her outrage over the violence and irregularities that marred the elections on February 25 and March 18, 2023.

“And all these for politicians that don’t give a damn about you or your family. "They just use you’. When this election has passed, it’ll be you, the poverty you’re dying to maintain, and your newfound lack of shame. They still won’t care about you. "Tribalism is disgraceful,” she tweeted.

She added, “300 billion naira budget for this joke of an election." @inecnigeria: You might have as well given them back the money to fix some hospitals and schools and just used your finger to point at the people you wanted to select. ”
