“People Need the Power to Choose Their Path Unhindered”: Simi Reacts Amid Presidential Election Result
-
Simi discusses the importance of “choice” in light of the presidential election results.
Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simi has expressed her thoughts on the significance of choice amid the announcement of the 2023 Presidential election result.
She emphasised that even God realised the need, which is why he gave us free will, and she did so via her official Twitter account. Simi emphasised that everyone should have the freedom to follow their own path, even if it is unwise.
Simi made her statement as Bola Tinunu was named the victor of the 2023 presidential elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 1st of Febraury, 2023.
She wrote: “Even God that is all-knowing, understood the power of choice, the necessity of it – and gave us free will. People need the power to choose their path, unhindered – even when/if it’s a bad choice. You take that away, you have a shell of a man, woman. You have almost nothing.
“The power of choice is power to decide. When you decide wrong, it’s power to change your mind. When you decide right, it’s power to win. It’s one of the worst things to steal from a person.”
