Good for them

This is a very close election that you can challenge in court unlike the IPOBidients that wanted to highjack our mandate from third position


Unlike the Tinubu and inec that collate and announced result at 4am

That’s a democratic election. Not obvious manipulated results by apc and inec.
Glaring hypocrisy

If your god and personal saviour, Tinubu, was as good as you claim he is, why did he have to rig and bribe to steal an election victory?

Although the election was largely peaceful, hundreds of voters in one district will have to cast their ballots again this week after unidentified people stole ballot boxes in two polling stations in the country’s northeast.

Always northeast!

SoNature:
If George Weah can be forced into a runoff, it means his performance wasn't impressive.

BTW, the population of Liberia is 5.5 million. That's not even up to the population of some Nigerian states. Since Nigeria is difficult for us to manage, break this country into smaller units.
It's not about performance, it's got to do with election integrity. There are very few elections in the world where one candidate will win with the kinds margins we have in Nigeria.

If not for massive rigging by the ruling party in collaboration with the election umpire, I am sure the last elections would have been a run off.

This simply shows elections in Liberia is more credible than those in Nigeria.

False. Landslide victory is extremely difficult in real elections. That's because people vote according to different reasons. Some vote for ethnic tribal sentiments, some religious sentiments, some economic, etc. So except a government has performed extremely well or extremely poor, the margin of victory in proper elections are usually less than 10%.

Tinubu scored 36% of the total vote and was declared the winner. Our laws need to be changed. At least 50% is okay.

64% of the electorates are not okay to be in the opposition. A second runoff should be enshrined in our law to elect the president with 50% of valid votes cast.
and be wasting money cos of rerun and 50 percent... Is it tinubu or APC that told opposition to divide votes amongst themselves... Elections that PDP would have won easily LP NNPP came up and divided votes and they have not learnt by 2027 they ll still be chasing shadows in court... Despite the simple majority we use a candidate or party has to score 25 percent in two thirds of states which APC got in 30 States.. that's ok

If we were to be honest with ourselves (and expecting honesty from a Nigerians is like expecting a camel to pass through the eye of a needle), you will know that there was no way one candidate would one candidate would have secured over 50% of the total votes.

Tinubu for one was very unpopular within Nigerian youths due to the endsars protest, which they put the blame on him and sanwo olu. They burnt any properties they feel he owned. Tinubu used his own mouth to say he doesn't use social media because of the "abuses" cum insults he receives.
Afenefere, a major Yoruba socio political organisation did not support him.

The Christian South vehemently opposed him because of the Muslim - Muslim ticket and because of his shady background.


He got actual support from core North due to the Buhari factor and the Muslim - Muslim ticket.

Likewise Peter Obi and Atiku had their political baggages. So not one of them would have secured an outright majority in a free and fair election. That's why I believe that without the massive rigging, there would have been a runoff.

tinubu allegedly scored that number.... Even at that he lost FCT. Like you said 50% of votes cast should be used. 😑

I suggest whoever wants to win the runoff should immediately seek Mahmud and APC's joint assistance. They're experts at that sort of thing. If the matter goes to court after the final results are in, they should reach out to the Nigerian judiciary for guidance 😜

I am not disputing that he could still win due to political horse trading. Politicians are like ashawo, they hold no allegiance to anyone and anything but their own selfish interests. The winner will depend on who the third person in the triad decides to support.

What I am sure is that there was no way Tinubu got 50% of total votes in the last election and at the same time lose Lagos, Abuja, the South South, the South East and a few Middle belt states, without the magic by Mahmood Yakubu.

Tinubu got 36% votes not 50%. There was no magic by yakubu.rigging is done at unit level and ward collation by adhoc staffs,yakubu has no hand there please.if there was rigging in se,it was for obi.besides,tinubu wasn't going to win se or ss...
Obi endorsement would never do jack.if he endorse atiku or tinubu,his supporters will rather boycott than vote.atiku supporters in the north will always vote tinubu than vote obi.

How are you sure that the results that were read by INEC were real. In Nigeria, first position can be taken to fifth and fourth can be made first. This is Nigeria, anything can happen. Obi and Atiku have the right to challenge the results if they feel cheated. Tinubu, I believe, would have done the same if he were to be in their shoes.
