Social media movements have been made to reject the two leading political parties in the country, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP by some Nigerians ahead of the 2023 general presidential elections.
This is not unconnected to the emergence of octogenarians as PDP and APC presidential candidates – Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar.
