 And as the year 2022 draws to a close, Nigerians have been speaking on their expectations for 2023 and her hopeful of a credible election. That's by the challenges experienced and outgoing year. They are looking forward to positive changes. Emmanuel Olubobogon tells us more in the support. The year 2022 brought with it a mixed grill of economic and security challenges for Nigeria. From the spate of kidnapping and banditry to the unending dilemma of bad unscastery of film. As the nation adds to the polls in 2023, the next sets of leaders are an unrestax to put the country on the right track. Naturally, Nigerians who have been on the receiving end of these issues are interested in the future of their economy, especially inflation, growth and employment. Hello, a lot of us knows what happened this year. A lot of stress. Well, the country is just hot. So for an average Nigerian, you know next year is the year that we need to plan. So we'll have to plan, reduce the way we spend, focus more because and be more industrious. We prefer a new tone, a new tone for Nigeria, a new governance, a new change. We need not be the country that give us for this 2022. We want new change. We don't want this present change that they give to us because what they promised us is not what we are seeing. We need a new change. My expectation is for us to have a better government. That's how things are going. We just need a better government to like invest on the youth because many youth are just doing nothing, wasting. So we need a better government that will invest on the youth. So the youth can be productive. The 2023 general election in Nigeria is only a few weeks away. As incumbent president Muhammad Ubarri's term comes to an end, the nation will elect a new leader. It is expected to fix a mismanaged economy and hopefully Nigerians can sleep with boot eyes closed. For the election, what my expectations are, we should vote for the right person. So I'm not going to mention anybody because everybody know who are the, we all know the candidates, the presidential candidate of this country for the upcoming election. So I'm praying that everybody should vote for the right person so that by the next year, everything will work for everyone. Well, for this election, I don't expect it to be the usual thing because I feel like youth nowadays are woken up, going on those days where we play football at the backyard and be like they should do what they want. So I feel like this election, we are coming out and we are going to have a voice. PDP, APC, that is the problem we are having. I'm a full member of PDP. You know, but I'm saying it's PDP and APC are the same thing. But God has brought people like Peter would be. My daddy told me he's going to be well, my son and my daddy died. Now I'm telling my children he's going to be well, so what is he going to be well? But political violence continues to bedevil the country. Amongst its most worrisome manifestations are the tax and offices of the Independent National Electrocommission, INEC, which clearly aims to undermine the electoral process itself.
