The media performs a crucial role in the maintenance of democratic societies. This study examined newspaper coverage of 2023 Nigerian presidential election. The study aimed at identifying the frequency, genre of stories, prominence, and space allocated to the coverage of 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. The research was anchored on Agenda Setting theory. For this investigation, Content Analysis was used. Samples were drawn from select newspapers (Guardian, the Nation, Punch and Vanguard). This investigation spanned the final four months preceding the Nigerian presidential election of 2023, from 1st November, 2022 to 28th February, 2023. The population of the study comprised all 480 editions. The findings showed that news is the most covered aspect of disseminating information by the four selected newspapers on the 2023 Presidential election to a heterogeneous nationwide audience, with slight prominence in the front-page lead. Another result showed that the Nation newspaper allocated more space to the coverage of the 2023 presidential election perhaps because it was owned by one of the Presidential candidates Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The study, therefore, recommends that newspaper houses should allow other genre of reportage (editorial, features, interview, letter to the editor and opinion articles) to also be seen as important ways of passing across political information and other related election matter to the diverse audiences of the media as most news are paid for, which could be indirectly bias.
