Aisha Yesufu, a well-known Nigerian social critic, asserted that numerous polling unit results from the presidential election held last Saturday had been altered.
During Thursday night’s episode of Politics Today on Channels Television, guest Yesufu claimed that even Lagos State, where the Labour Party (LP) triumphed, was rigged.
According to her, the All Progressives Congress (APC) received fewer votes than the INEC had officially allotted them.
Yesufu said, “What we are saying is that even the Lagos State [figure] was rigged, the number that APC got is much lower than what we finally have. And one of the things we are talking about is that in a lot of polling units, results were changed.
“And I think one of the things they forgot was the fact that there is going to be an iReV where polling unit results were going to be uploaded; it is not what they normally have where they just collate and have everything in a lump. And so people can see and a lot of people have the results.”
Recall that APC’s Bola Tinubu was announced the winner of the February 25 presidential poll on Wednesday morning.
He defeated the main opposition candidates, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s Peter Obi and New Nigeria Peoples Party and NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The former Lagos State governor received his Certificate of Return in Abuja on Wednesday.
