2023 Election: N300bn budget should’ve been used to fix schools, hospitals – Singer, Simi
Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, also known as Simi has stated that investing in the education and health sectors would have been a better use of the nearly N300 billion funding allotted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
She made this comment shortly after the contentious election, which was severely tainted by violence, voter suppression, rigging, and vote buying.
Simi wrote on Twitter that it would have been preferable to use the billions spent on the presidential and governorship elections to repair hospitals and schools.
The Joromi crooner voiced her extreme unhappiness with the way INEC conducted the polls, claiming that they could have saved money and time by simply pointing to the candidate of their choice.
Evidently disappointed, Simi said it would have been better if the exorbitant amount was used to fix hospitals and schools in Nigeria.

In her words;
“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 finger to point at the people you wanted to select.”
“The blatant rigging and nobody in power addressed it. Lol. Giant problem of Africa. Anybody that saw the disenfranchisement and didn’t condemn it better keep their prayers for Nigeria. She doesn’t need prayers from people like you.”
