2023: Presidential election may not reflect the will of the people – Afe Babalola
Afe Babalola, a legal luminary, said he is confident that the results of the presidential election in February may not reflect the will of the people but rather those who have a lot of money to spend.
In a press briefing on Thursday, Babalola said the forthcoming poll would be won by the highest spender and not the best among the candidates vying for the top job.
