This is the best Election in the history of Nigeria



The only reason Buhari never congratulate Tinubu is because INEC have not declare him as the Winner

Asiwaju will become the President Elect today or tomorrow while Buhari hand over to him on May 29 2023.

oyin44:


Good ...l wish it happens today

Parachoko:
If INEC HQ get all the results from the 36 state and Abuja today, then he will be declared as the winner and President Elect today.

I'm so happy for Asiwaju

madridguy:
THE RIGGING IN THE SOUTH EAST Was Unprecedented. The Results From The South East Are The Only Abnormal Results in This Election. IPOB Conducted The Polls and Peter Obi Got 95% Across Board. They Look Like Obasanjo Results From 2003 and 2007.

Dynamicboss:
Such an unpredictable election. Funny thing is that the projected winner loss his state and that the current presidential state yet sweeping votes on percentile performance which is evenly distributed across all regions except SE. Congrats to him

Slynation:
wait oO, were you expecting APC to get votes from South East with 99% Christian dominated area...You don't even have sense

Even GEJ's tenure was'nt this bad and he was outrightly rejected, but after 8 disastrous years, APC wants us to believe Nigerians are satisfied with there performance nationwide!! We shall see

madridguy:
So are you also expecting Labour Party to get more votes from NE and NE more than the MUSLIM/MUSLIM candidates?

Slynation:
more votes?? I never used the word more votes, but let the will of the people prevail, that's all...

madridguy:
APC/ PDP/ NNPP are the will of the people of NW/NE

Slynation:
More reason the country should balkanize, How can different zones that are not in agreement with one another come together to elect one candidate without chaos...

madridguy:
It is democracy.

The Chairperson of the Commonwealth Observer Group and former president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, yesterday said Nigeria’s 2023 general elections were “largely peaceful” despite administrative and logistics hurdles at many polling units.

Also, the ECOWAS Observation Mission described the elections as generally peaceful and transparent.
This is coming as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is so far leading with 6,300,834 votes according to results of last Saturday’s presidential election so far announced at the National Collation Centre in Abuja and as declared in 18 states collation centres across the country.

Delivering his team’s preliminary assessment of the electoral process at a press conference in Abuja, Mbeki said Nigerians were largely accorded the right to vote.


“We congratulate all Nigerians for their determination, patience and resilience displayed throughout the electoral process, “he said.

He urged all citizens to exercise patience to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its staff to conclude the results process peacefully.

“We call on all those with grievances to address disputes through prescribed legal channels.

“The time now is for restraint and continued patience as we await the final results,” he said.

He commended the commitment shown by voters despite the late arrival of election officials and materials at many polling units, technical issues with the biometric identification machines in some cases, and delays with the live results transmission system.

On its part, the ECOWAS Observation Mission described the elections as generally peaceful and transparent.

The leader of the delegation and former President Ernest Koroma of Sierra Leone, during a preliminary briefing on the elections in Abuja, said the voter turnout was low in most polling units visited.

He said most electorate composed themselves throughout the voting process.

“Vote counting and tallying processes were carried out in a transparent, simple and professional manner, in the presence of party agents, observers, and security agents in the daytime in some polling units and with lamps in others, where voting was delayed,” he added.

While commending the INEC for ensuring a hitch-free exercise, he, however, noted that there were pockets of violence in some states of the federation during the election.

“Most polling officials and ad hoc staff demonstrated inadequate knowledge of their duties, especially with voting materials. The set-up of most of the polling units visited did not adequately protect the secrecy of the voting process,” he also said.
