“The election is irretrievably compromised and we have totally lost faith in the entire process. We demand that this sham of an election should be immediately cancelled,” Labour Party chairman Julius Abure told reporters along with representatives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The country’s electoral body INEC experienced technical problems that disrupted uploading of tallies from local polling stations to a central website.
The opposition have labelled the disruptions as attempts to manipulate results while the electoral body said those were technical glitches.
“This election is not free and far from being fair and transparent”
“President Muhammadu Buhari, this is the time of a great test of your integrity. Use your office to save Nigerians from this electoral mismanagement.” Abure said.
