Legendary actor Pete Edochie who celebrated his birthday today has queried the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the outcome of the just-concluded presidential poll.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Pete, who described the 2023 polls as flawed, inquired from the electoral umpire whether the elections its conducted was a ‘presidential election or selection.’
He said,“We need explanation or is it all really for our own good? Was the presidential election an election or selection? We need explanation as a nation.”
He also added in his caption that being a Nigerian comes with inherent perpetual anxiety. 
The veteran actor also criticized the Central Bank of Nigeria’s naira redesign policy which made the naira a scarce currency.
He said, “Ordinarily, I should be a very happy person, I should celebrate but I’m not happy because I can’t go to the bank and get money which belongs to me and I am told ‘It’s for my own good’. I can’t go to the filling station and buy petrol for my car. It must be for my own good. Look at electricity, it has always been epileptic as far as I remember. Today, it has gone worse, I tried to find out why but nobody offered any explanation so I said ‘It must be for my own good.’”
