The 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices says the last general election in Nigeria reflected the will of the populace despite widespread irregularities.
The report published by
the bureau of democracy, human rights, and labour, US Department of State,
highlights human rights practices and violations in different countries,
including Nigeria.
The report stated that supporters of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) suppressed votes in Igbo-dominated areas during the March 2023
governorship election in Lagos.
“National elections were widely reported to have reflected the will of voters, despite technical and logistical difficulties, and some irregularities,” the report reads.
