There have been reports of massive rigging of the process in some states, especially in Rivers where the Governor was said to have hijacked the election in favour of the All Progressives Congress, a party he vowed to deliver in the state.

The same situation has been reported in several other parts of the country and this is despite the promises of free, fair and credible elections made to Nigerians by INEC.

INEC told Nigerians that the BVAS would be used for the 2023 election and that results would be transmitted electronically, according to provisions of the electoral act 2022 (as amended).

Obasanjo, in his statement on Monday, condemned the process and called for the cancellation of the results.
