While
Nigerians wait for the results of the presidential and national assembly
elections, tension is palpably high throughout the whole nation.
In spite of
INEC's explanation that the difficulties the commission was having transmitting
results were not the result of system sabotage, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the
chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), assured the
Nigerian people that the process of results collation and announcement would be
transparent.
Bola Tinubu,
Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi, candidates for president of the Labour Party
(LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the All Progressives Congress
(APC), have engaged in a contentious race.
It
represented a change from the last elections, where the minority parties
were bent on unseating the ruling party (APC).
It has been
reported in several places that the recently held Nigerian presidential
elections in 2023 were invalid and hence required redress. The candidates for
president may end up in court cases, according to what is being reported by
various media outlets.
