It was the much anticipated day for Nigeria as the 2015 Presidential election helds nationwide yesterday, Saturday, March 28, 2015.
As part of the build-up to the elections, a lot of Nigerian
celebrities and showbiz stars have been quite vocal, expressing their
thoughts as regards a free and fair election while some openly
campaigned for the candidates of their choice.

of them are out of town to headline concerts in other parts of the
world. We bring you a quick list of notable stars that missed the general elections.
