However, according to many election observers, the 2023 election is probably the most important political electoral process the country has witnessed since its return to democracy in 1999.

From offering themselves as contestants, to being active mobilizers or even being spokespersons for their parties. The country has never witnessed this level of political awareness before.

While celebrities like Uti Nwachukwu and Stan Nze have not been actively campaigning for any candidate in particular, they've consistently tried to charge the Nigerian youths to shun voters' apathy and participate in the election process.
