On February 25, 2023, Nigeria held Presidential elections in which the ruling party won.

However, forensic analysis of the result of the election showed that there were over voting in more than 10,000 polling units. This represents almost 8% of all PUs.

Evidence has been presented by both the Peoples Democratic Part, and the Labour Party at the Presidential Election Petition Court that the ruling party candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was declared President-elect based largely on the votes he amassed in some of these 8% of polling units where over voting occurred.

The over voting was only possible due to manual accreditation and transmission of voters and votes, rather than the legally required electronic accreditation via Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines.

Now this is very convenient, and too coincidental. And it is also unlawful.

By virtue of Section 47 (3) of Nigeria's Electoral Act, those results ought to have been cancelled, and the elections rescheduled for a later date when the issues with the machines would have been resolved. That section says:

"Where a smart card reader or any other technological device deployed for accreditation of voters fails to function in any unit and a fresh card reader or technological device is not deployed, the election in that unit shall be cancelled and another election shall be scheduled."

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kayode Ariwoola, who sits at the head of the judiciary, and who has set up the PEPC, made comments, on video, praising the ruling party on November 25, 2022. As a result of those comments, millions of Nigerians lack confidence in his ability to spearhead a judiciary that dispenses impartial justice.

What I humbly ask of you reading this is for you to consider using your good offices, no matter how small you think it is, to add your voice to that of millions of Nigerians, and tell the Nigerian judiciary that the world is watching the PEPC and hopes it will abide by the provision of the law as enshrined in Nigeria's Electoral Act of 2022.

Is the above comments actually from Reno?

8% is too small to alter the overall election results, so the tribunal will let it slide. Presidential election proceedings are taking too long to start though.

I tell you that this election would be cancelled

If the tribunal cancels the election results, na their papa go bring another 300 billion for INEC to use conduct another one.

You're the one that is a kid here. Just imagine the nonsense u wrote up there. So , people's mandate should be stolen because of the cost of conducting a fresh elections? You're the problem of this country cos you cannot see the bigger picture here. You're so myopic

If the tribunal feels Bola Tinubu didn't deserve to win the election, they will declare the next candidate (Atiku or Obi) the winner. Nobody will cancel any presidential election in Nigeria; N300 billion for conducting another election is not anywhere. You think say 300 billion na 3 naira

After all the groundstanding?

Watery case 8%?

Election can be cancelled because the laws of the land supercedes all these sentiments. A flawed process is an illegal process. INEC chair should be sued for wasting the nation's scarce resources.

After prosecuting and jailing the INEC chairman, will the money for a fresh poll come out?


Some things are beautifully written on paper, but sane minds know that it's impossible to implement them in reality.

Let me know when the judiciary cancels the election and orders a fresh poll.
