ABUJA – A coalition of election observers in Nigeria under the auspices of Project 2011 Swift Count, Tuesday, urged the Congress for Progressive Change’ Presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and other candidates in the presidential poll to accept the results as declared by INEC in good faith.
 
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was declared winner of the poll with over 22 million of the total votes cast, but Gen. Buhari has since discredited the exercise, insisting his party was rigged out in several states.
 
The Project 2011 Swift Count through its 1st Vice-President, Mr. Dafe Akpedeye, at a press briefing,  in Abuja, described the conduct of the exercise as transparent, credible and confidence-inducing.
 
“INEC has conducted the collation of presidential results in a very open manner. Official results by states have immediately been posted on the internet for anyone to see. In order to ensure even greater transparency and accountability Project 2011 Swift Count calls upon INEC to also post polling unit level results on  its website.

To give INEC, political contestants and the public greater confidence in this new methodology Project 2011 Swift Count will also publish on our website the official results from the individual sampled polling units that were used to calculate the Swift Count estimates for anyone to see.

[size=13pt]Sounds like a man whose property was stolen by an identified person and was asked by sympathisers to accept his faith as an act of God. When will accepting rigged elections stop in Nigeria?[/size]

I think you are absolutely right – the International observers should have said the elections were rigged, this way southerners would not be maimed, killed, and churches burnt down by northerners.

I am just a bit confused, do you really want a free and fair election as seen by outsiders, or you want rigged elections?

I think what you'd want is:

1. Free and Fair election won by a northerner
2. Rigged election won by a northerner

Conclusion- you are only interested in a northerner rulling the country.

Lol
