Type your answer here... The very first election in Nigeria was held in September 1923. This was consequent upon the Clifford Constitution of the preceding year which provided among others for the election of few indigenes from Lagos and Calabar into the colonial legislative council: known as the Nigerian Council. In fact this council became the first elected Legislature in Black Africa. The franchise was limited to Males who were either British Nationals or Natives of the Protectorate of Nigeria, with a residency of at least 12 months prior to the election and an income of not less than £100.
