In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), the immediate past First Lady of Ondo State, Mrs. Betty Akeredolu, described Nigeria as a “zoo,” drawing a comparison between Nigeria’s presidential election and that of the United States.

Her remark came on Wednesday as she expressed her frustration with the state of political affairs in Nigeria, using the analogy to highlight perceived dysfunction or disorder in the electoral process. This statement has generated discussions, particularly around the challenges faced in Nigeria’s political system, where many believe that the political environment often mirrors chaotic or unorganized systems.
