No money will be available to purchase votes. An election sans vote-buying will take place. Money won’t be available to purchase votes.

The country’s existence depends on the 2023 election, according to Dr. Chris Iyala, Country Director of EII, who also noted that the populace is holding the INEC to its promise of a free, fair, and credible election.
