Someone sat in Abuja receiving collated results from all over the country is also somehow responsible for rigging? One year later it's still yet to make sense.


The most populated zones in the country are NW, SW and NC. If you don't get tangible results there, there's no magic you can perform to win the elections. Now ask the average person from Jigawa, Zamfara or Kano (NW), Kogi, Niger or upper state Nassarawa not Keffi Nyanya axis (NC) or Ekiti, Oyo, Osun (SW) who Peter Obi is, most of them will tell you they don't know him. Even my MIL that stays here in Lagos doesn't know him. She said the election is between Tinubu and Atiku. It was me and one of her older grandkids that was telling her about PO and how he might just surprise everybody even at that, she was still convinced that the election was between Tinubu and Atiku.

Truth is, very few people know that much about Peter Obi outside social media and SE/SS. Now his followers that are supposed to convert the social media buzz to real live are throwing stones at people that could join his train next election. I hope it won't be too late they realise they're doing more harm to his ambition than good with the way they're behaving

It's ALREADY too late...

Obi will not amount to anything politically outside Igboland.

I used to think this one have sense.

dominique, on this one, Acidosis wins. It's good to stand on the fence but principles do not. You either follow principles or have none. The main point from Acidosis is for you to ignore some parts of irregularities and endorsing it indirectly. Why was Jega celebrated? He was consistent on his principles.

I also want people to be careful but that's too late now. Politicians will do anything to divert attention from their poor performance. The people who sowed the seeds of discord before elections have all the farmer tools to water it. You even see them on air. They talk down to Nigerians, they blame tribes, they blame opposition and you want me to respect such people? I am old enough to take care of myself and let the politicians play games but just because someone complied with 14 of the Nairaland post rules and violated 1 of them, will you turn your eyes away from the rules?

anonymous1759:
Cyber bullies are here again , Same people who said Nigerians deserved who they voted for with one mouth and says INEC rigged with another mouth .

They are confused.
They said its yorubas and hausas that are hungry
But it's igbos that are complaining. I tire for these people .....many of their so called educated folks online are nothing but stark market illiterates that went to school, that's why you can't find gait and finese in their behavior, they are not of the noblemen and aristocrats ..... So pardon their brashness

He won by saying elections should have been cancelled because of irregularities in one state. Ok if the Rivers state election had gotten cancelled and a rerun got carried out, how much will it affect the overall outcome of the election? Rivers had 500k+ accredited voters and all of them cannot vote for one person. We don't know the kind of magomago Wike and the Rivers state returning electoral officer pulled. What we know is that the voting result that got to Abuja was signed, stamped and declared satisfactory. What else could Yakubu have done in that situation other than accept the results placed in front of him? Should he have thrown out the results because the predicted winner of the state wasn't declared the winner? Pls educate me what role exactly did Mahmood Yakubu play in manipulating the results of the last elections.

stay out of politics. you are loosing it.

The principle of Equity is that he who comes to Equity must be clean. Inec did a shoddy job, the election that brought in Tinubu was shoddy, let's not talk about glaring irregularities everywhere.

Please sit this one out

No matter how much INEC rigged the election, it won't have been possible If millions didn't vote for him. Vote until 2027 and see more foolish Nigeria voting him again. I trust Nigerians- Suffering and smiling

You're not the one to tell me what to comment on or not. Is there any election year where there was no news of ballot box snatching, results manipulation and violence at some polling units? Has any previous election been cancelled because of these? So why should this one? The elections went on smoothly in more than 70% of the country (according to voters) but all that should be discarded?

Still no one has explained how the INEC chairman tampered with the results of these last elections to warrant all the curses.
