President Buhari has expressed sudden upsetting and surprised over the sophistication of voters in the concluded presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25 and the governorship and states of assembly elections on March 18 2023 respectively.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that Buhari in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said 2023 elections have proved the growing strength of our democracy and more especially the massive participation in Nigerians.

He noted that playing politics in Nigeria will be more difficult in the future as no one can underrate the Nigerian voters anymore.

“It is a testament to the maturity of our democracy and to the amazing sophistication of the voter. What shocked me was that the ordinary citizen who is usually underrated has made the point of his political understanding of things.
