Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The 1993 general election in Nigeria, widely regarded as one of the fairest and most transparent elections in the country's history, was indeed judged as the best. However, it was declared inconclusive because the result was annulled by the then military government under General Ibrahim Babangida, despite the fact that it appeared that Chief Moshood K.O. Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) had won the election. The annulment led to widespread protests and a political crisis in Nigeria.
