I don't know what wrong with some people. They play politics with emotion
An election where 80% of governor can not return to their retirement post (senate) still some still claim it was rig.

An election where the KKK state always favor the ruling party but lost Two of the K state. They still said it was rig.

An election where the winner can't rig is stronghold to his favor. Still it was still rig.

An election where new party perform 90% excellent in his region. Still the election was rig.

An election where the ruling party forget to rig 25% for himself still it was rig.

And so on and on.

Because you like or vote for a particular candidates doesn't mean people don't vote against your candidate.
Load of crap.

It's so simple..


Upload the results on IREF in real time and let's compare...

That's what Mahmoud promised the whole world...


Even if all the candidates rigged, that the more reason the election should be repeated.

Obi rigged the East, Atiku and Tinubu rigged parts of the North.

Election is not supposed to be rigged, so cancel and conduct a proper election.

Simply And Short.

There's no point in time we were united.

The 2007 was by far the most horrible election since 1999, followed closely by the 2003 Presidential Election

The 2023 Presidential Election is the best in the history of Nigeria
This is the worst period. Only sycophants and igbo-haters are celebrating and praising this scam of an election. Don't quote me again I don't have time for rubbish talk.

Nigeria don't nullify presidential election for obvious reasons. 2007 general election is the worst since 1999. See the judgments.

Tribunal:

ABUJA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - A Nigerian tribunal upheld the
2007 election of President Umaru Yar'Adua on Tuesday, rejecting challenges from rivals who wanted the vote annulled because of
massive rigging.

The tribunal in Africa's most populous nation ruled that opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, Yar'Adua's main opponent,
had failed to prove that violations of the electoral law were substantial enough to invalidate the overall result.

The five-judge tribunal also rejected a challenge brought by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who came third in the election that local and international observers said was marred by massive fraud.

"Umaru Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan remain the president and vice-president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," the ruling said.


Had the vote been annulled, it could have risked destabilising the major oil exporter, which emerged just nine years ago from decades of army rule and has drawn increasing foreign investor interest.

Appeal Court
:

“Since the two consolidated petitions have failed, Umaru Yar Adua and Goodluck Jonathan [the vice-president] remain validly elected,” James Ogebe, the presiding judge, ruled.

‘Disappointment’

The two challengers plan to appeal to the Supreme Court, which could take several more months to deliver a final ruling.


Abubakar, a former vice-president, said he was disappointed.

“My reaction – and that of most Nigerians – is that of disappointment,” he told Al Jazeera.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2008/2/26/nigeria-court-upholds-poll-results



Supreme court
:

The seven-justice court ruled that the two runners-up in the vote had failed to show evidence that graft was widespread enough to force an annulment. But the judges acknowledged flaws in the election, and chided politicians on their combative conduct in the vote and during legal challenges since.

“We’re not saying that all went well in the conduct of the election,” said one justice, Niki Tobi, laying the blame on the country’s political elite. “The way politics is played frightens me. It’s a fight to the finish.”

The ruling by the Supreme Court hands Yar’Adua an immediate political victory and strengthens his position by erasing the possibility that he could be replaced in a rerun of the April 21, 2007, election.

2007 buhari did not have any path to victory though there were flaws in that election but it was a saint compare to this year election, Buhari and yaradua share the north SS , SE and middle belt voted for Yaradua because of jonathan. Yaradua gap buhari with more than 8millions vote and no physical evidence presented in court so court has no choice than to upheld yaradua victory but this year election the evidense were just too man guest what all the evidence are on inec IREV so the court cant validate this election that is why apapa is working for APC to wittdrew OBI case

This is not a worst period.

There was a time igbos were killed on the street in the North after Aguyi Ironsi was killed while Northerners were also killed in Igbo Land.

Thats INEC results, not the real results. When the tribunals are done, you'll see substantial differences from people INEC returned and the ones the courts will return.

Sorry that is called RIGGING.

That was a state election, we are talking of presidential, nationwide. it's different. 350 polling units, is a lot, when talking about state elections. It's all about ratios...If the judges can't see clear evidence that substantial venues or polling units were disrupted, the judges cannot annul the elections, it's common sense.
350 is alot in a state with 10000 polling unit
But 14,000 is small in Nigeria ....were did you do maths

U can't nullify elections in Benue, Ogun, Ekiti, Oyo, Bayelsa, Anambra, Zamfara, Borno because election was rîggèd in Rivers.

The judgement in layman's English is this even if we take out rigged results the winner still meet the criteria to win

Same can't be said about 25%

When 10,000 polling units results that had over voting according to the new law is removed would Tinubu still be declared winner ? The answer is no

Remove his padded votes from river ,pleatue , Benue, kogi , Kauna, Ogun ..,obi won


Hope uzodinma only challanged results from 350 polling unit in imo state ....but because the results from this 350 polling unit affectes the total results it was deemed substantial enough .... remember imo has over 12000 polling units

I rest my case
So Obi's votes were not padded in Benue, Plateau, Anambra, Enugu, Abia etc?
Una go tire.
Only ur càndidàte got clean votes, others stoIe votes.
Una mind go d.

2023 election is one of the freest and fairest election ever held in Nigeria. Forget all the propaganda by the losers trying to discredit the process.

That your candidate lost does not mean he must have won.

The fact that yaradua was honest about how the election went doesn't mean it was the worst. Because I can see all these APC supporters always saying that rubbish. He was just an honest man that admitted the election was flawed. But you see this 2023 election, it was actually the worst. Atleast then people voted and there was rigging. In this year own, open threats, violence, insults, announcing the president elect in the midnight, not much celebration, ethnic profiling to the extent that even those that were yoruba were suspected to be igbos and refused them from voting!
This is the worst election not just in the 4th republic but in the history of Nigeria angry
The 2007 election was adjudged to be the worst in this fourth republic, not only because of Yaradua’s admission, but because it was conducted 100 % manually, without technology like card reader, BVAS , IREV, server , etc. If the 2023 presidential election was massively rigged as you have insinuated , then how could you explain why:
1. Buhari lost Katsina state , even as a sitting President.
2. Tinubu lost Lagos and Oshun states
3. The Senate president, Ahmed Lawan lost Yobe state .
4. Femi Gbajabiamila also lost Lagos.
5. APC chairman, Adamu Abdullahi lost Nasarawa state
5. Governors El- Rufai, Ganduje, Bagudu, Masari, Mai Mala Bunu, Inuwa Yahaya, Sule Abdullahi, Lalong, Sanwolu, Ayade, Hope Uzodinma could not deliver their states and yet, you think it is the worst election.
I believe you can only rig at your strong base, but these people, with all their power of incumbency could not even win their states . With all due respect, Peter Obi was never in my contemplation to win the presidential election, he was only their to decimate Atiku’s chances, and hand the trophy to Tinubu on a platter of gold.
