Why elections in 2023 will not bring about immediate change as Nigeria’s next president—Ezekwesili
Before the general elections in 2023, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, has exhorted presidential contenders to tell Nigerians the truth about the state of the country rather than making unrealistic promises of quick fixes.
No matter who wins the presidential election next year, according to Ezekwesili, immediate results might not be realised for four years due to the system’s level of decay. He made this statement as a guest on Channel Television’s Political Paradigm.

Candidates for office must speak the unpalatable truth to the electorate. The country is not in a position for any president to start seeing results right now, which is a terrible fact.
It’s important to have a president who is aware of the issues at hand and knows how to approach them.
“Any candidate who guarantees quick outcomes following the 2023 elections is not being fair to you. Because everyone will need to work together to achieve this, it is crucial that we comprehend that citizens must be prepared for the task ahead.
The presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25 mark the start of the 2023 general elections.
