Singer Simi Criticizes INEC Over 300BN Election Allocation
Nigerian singer Simi has been and remains one of the few celebrities in the country that boldly stands up for the rights of the people by speaking up against the evils and injustices happening in the nation. And throughout the election period, before and after, Simi was never silent. On the contrary, she kept sending tweets addressing pressing issues related to the recently concluded polls, Nigerian leaders, and their committed relationship with corruption.
In one of such tweets, which has made the singer a trending topic on Twitter, Simi said that hospitals and schools might have been fixed with the 300 billion naira spent on the 2023 elections. On Monday, Simi posted this on her Twitter account. She also complained about the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) 2023 elections, which she said were manipulated and about which the powerful people remained silent.
300 billion naira budget for this joke of an election. @inecnigeria you might have as well given them back the money to fix some hospitals and schools and just used finger to point at the people you wanted to select.

During the recently held governorship and House of Assembly elections, the musician attacked tribalists and racial bigots. The singer faulted politicians for the rapid surge of tribalism and criticized people who allow themselves to be used as tools to propagate acts that stem from “beliefs” sold to them. Simi warned tribal bigots that serving masters who didn’t care about them would worsen their poverty and shamelessness. After the elections, she said, they will realize they were just being exploited.
And all these for politicians that don't give af about you or your family. Them just dey use you. When this election has passed, it'll be you, the poverty you're dying to maintain and your newfound lack of shame. They still won't care about YOU. Tribalism is disgraceful.
