Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity says that there were irregularities in the just concluded Saturday elections.




Adesina disclosed this in an article titled, ‘FOR PMB, IT’S NIGERIA AND NOTHING ELSE’ shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday.



Electoral Body, INEC had declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the winner of the February 25 presidential election and subsequently the president-elect.




The former Lagos governor won with 8,794,726 votes, nearly two million more votes than his fiercest challengers, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 6,984,520 and Labour Party (LP)’s Peter Obi, who got 6,101,533.



The total votes cast were 24,965,218, out of which 939,278 were rejected votes.



However, PDP and LP had called for the cancellation of the presidential election over allegations that INEC did not comply with the law in the collation and announcement of results.



The PDP and LP first made their positions known at a Tuesday press conference attended by their vice-presidential candidates, Ifeanyi Okowa and Datti Baba-Ahmed respectively.



“The election was a sham, and never free and fair,” said Okowa of the PDP, a position corroborated by the LP’s vice-presidential candidate.



Their main grouse is that INEC failed to upload the results of elections in the over 170,000 polling units onto a central server (IReV) as required by law.



That step should have been done before the collation and announcement of results, they said.



In his article, Adesina admitted irregularities in the electioneering process but said his principal, President Buhari was never part of any ‘mago-mago’



He said, “The first phase of the 2023 elections has been held, to elect a new President, and National Assembly members. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been declared the winner and issued a Certificate of Return. Was it a perfect election? Not so. Electronic transmission of results failed, due to technical glitches, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had to resort to manual collation.



“Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union tyrant had been credited with saying: ‘Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.’ But one thing is definite about President Buhari. He would never be part of any mago-mago or wuruwuru. Just give him unimpeachable evidence of underhand dealings, and he throws you away like a bad habit.



“The President’s first loyalty is to the country. Unflinching. Unassailable. Despite being a loyal party man, and committed to the candidate of his party, whom he went round the country campaigning for, he told Nigerians several times: vote for the candidate of your choice across the parties. That’s the heart of a father, a man beyond partisan considerations, as a democratically elected President.



“To prove cynics and septics wrong, the man displayed his ballot paper last Saturday, after voting for APC candidates. Some lawyers have criticized the action, saying it runs contrary to electoral laws. But we know why the President did it. To shut the mouths of conspiracy theorists, who had been trying to establish that he was against the candidate of his party.



“There are contentions about the declared results. Yes, it is part of good electoral practices that those who have issues should be listened to. Even the President himself challenged election results up to Supreme Court three times. When he was ruled out the third time, he said “God dey.” And God eventually showed up. The Almighty is still at work in Nigeria.



“President Buhari has provided a level playing field for all contestants in the election. Any other contrary thing was not at his instance or instigation. Couldn’t have been. He remains the authentic Nigerian hero, a stickler for integrity, accountability and rectitude.”

Buhari is now using Adesina to address us on the malpractices that took place.

Femi Adesina has opened up about the irregularities of INEC in the just concluded election in Nigeria by INEC

Nothing is ever perfect in Nigeria . Let’s move on already. Please don’t quote me to say rubbish and if you want to be unfortunate then quote me with your pictures showing your face, don’t waste my time if you don’t have the balls to do that. I hate dealing with weak people.

Mr femi describing the presidential election as " not perfect" is trying to pamper criminality. Say it as it is. The election is monumental fraud and disaster that will not work.

I am not buhari fan but when I see fact and truth , I say it.

His excellency pmb is not a party to the monumental scam that just happened . Pmb has his faults and failures but on this election he did everything he should to have a fair ground for the election.

The criminal and fraudulent elements in INEC collided with desperate, greedy and evil politicians to carry out this monumental fraud.

The good news is that it will not see the light of the day. The rightful and authentic winner will get his mandate.
Tilumbu will not seat on the presidential seat of Nigeria. He won't believe it . He will shamefully disgraced.

U can't have a perfect system, glitches go dey no how no how...

So the presidency agreed there's (fraud) mago mago in the 2023 presidential election.

Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything

It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the APC in connivance with INEC rigged the election and it is a case of since they couldn't successfully buy the the electorate due to the CBN cashless policy they opted to buy the electoral umpire (INEC).

TheFreeOne:
APC loss was so glaringly they had to change the rules in the middle of the game.

Their candidate has never won any election without fraud. A machiavellian in the art of rigging, bribery and corruption. A coward who fears fair game whilst pretending to be a lion.

Peter Obi is a force who distrupted our polispace within 8 months of his entrance to the presidential election. A man in whom many believed can make a difference from the usual establishment of corrupt elements ruining the country.

Nigerians who hope, worked for a free and fair elections will stand by their decision that INEC must do the right thing by declaring genuine results showing the will of the people not the concocted results being declared by INEC Chairman.

A better country is what every Nigerian should demand for not a perverse society wherein corruption and disrespect for rule of law reigns.

Show your face, it’s that simple. Till then byeee. Remain miserable

Uploading election results at the polling units immediately after elections was critical in ensuring some level of transparency & credibility.
INEC messed up big time by failing this critical part.

Even Buhari the dullard understands that this illegality can’t stand.

Tinubu will never ever ..

Na time

If you say you want good for Nigeria and you're jubilating over this fraudulent election, you're of all men most miserable.

What are they cooking again? Trust apc at your own peril.
This guys are up to something and I have a feeling it's not for the interest of sensible Nigerians who wants good governance.

1:
Voters, who cast their votes after doing careful analysis of all the important political issues, and who choose who vote for based on policy, are rare. ✅

2:
Voters who cast their vote based on emotion, gut instinct, and tribal identity, while knowing almost nothing about the policies of each candidate, are common.


I belong to the first group of people.

Many voters in this just concluded elections, belong to the second category.

Inec do us yahoo yahoo.

Buhari made mistake allowing the innocent looking crook of inec to Conduct elections

We already saw it in kastina and jigawa results ..
“
Stop calling this results.. but the thief and his bribed billions were already under fire to complete looted assignment..

On his own .. he will flee..

While the baron.. will impose self exile ..

All na time ..

Nigerians are not happy..

And any anyhow matter fit burn everything

KillSars:
U can't have a perfect system, glitches go dey no how no how...

But glitches didn't happen whilst uploading national assembly results.

What a selective glitch

In a sane country, the yahoo yahoo INEC Chairman and other accomplices within the commission would be warming up for some prison term by now.

Buhari anti party activities is what gave you guys hope and the impression that there was crack inAPC but unfortunately the party was together and it’s obvious buhari was the problem of APC. Obi became more desperate seeing this and though he had a chance including Atiku but alas it’s obvious the APC is still popular especially up north despite all their challenges. LP and Pdp not meeting the constitutional requirements and even the simple majority votes can never upturn the elections. You guys should thank buhari for the cash policy cos the margin would have been higher

What a warped mindset and flawed thought process.

And what has the in-fighting in APC got to do which other candidates contesting election? The cashless policy made it almost impossible to buy votes at the polling units but APC then bought INEC officials as Adesina tacitly stated.

Buhari is now using Adesina to address us on the malpractices that took place.

He ran away like coward and a thief caught with his hands in a community cookie jar.

I guess Buhari is indirectly telling Nigerians and other political parties to legally challenge the result declared by INEC cos it's very obvious to be the biggest electoral fraud in our history.

Bubu is still a failure, though.

Femi Adeshina have been the most vocal Buhari spokesman under this his useless and clueless regime
Hence it is safe to safe to say this is Buhari talking.

Goke7:
..LP and Pdp not meeting the constitutional requirements and even the simple majority votes can never upturn the elections...

Your APC supporters are always reasoning in a nauseatingly warped manner. No sane person is talking about a constitutional requirement but the brazen inexplainable and incongruent rigging perpetuated by INEC-a supposed neutral electoral body. Yes Buhari currency swap greatly helped to minimised vote buying hence voter’s inducement. Guess you love the vote buying thing?

Meanwhile, this election will be upturned by the courts and Bola Tinubu the mandate thief is going to surrender it to the rightful owner. What is brewing up is a sweeping that will not contain both INEC and the election riggers in the APC.
