There is no gainsaying the fact that the 2023 general elections were fraught with electoral irregularities. From late commencement of voting to failure to upload election results on the BVAS, and then from violence in some areas and accompanying disenfranchisement of a number of registered voters.

The most prominent of these electoral irregularities is rigging. While it is true that the results may have been rigged, but, knowing that it takes two to tango, what really is rigging and how is it actualized?

Rigging, according to Cambridge Dictionary, is the act of arranging dishonestly for the result of something, for example an election, to be changed. This may involve ballot rigging, where there are more votes, or falsifying, reducing, or changing figures to suit a political party.

It may also be bribery, threats, undue influence, intimidation and other acts of coercion exerted on voters.

Nigeria has historical cases of rigging. After allegations of massive rigging in the 1965 elections, the country’s western region was engulfed in the infamous “Operation Wet-ie” riots. And since 1999, when the country broke with military rule, five elections have been conducted all of which have been tainted by controversy.

Yet, there are two instances in Nigeria where the voters got what they wanted: firstly, the June 1993 presidential election, even though it was annulled, and secondly the 2015 presidential election where the then incumbent Goodluck Jonathan conceded to current President Mohammadu Buhari.

Though your source is not credible, OBIdients have gone past the Presidential election because they know Peter Obi will reclaim the mandate.

Obidients are focused on retiring Sanwo-olu in Lagos this Saturday.
