Speaking to journalists at the venue, the leader of the protest, Mr. Mike Junior, faulted the INEC for its inability to transmit the presidential election results via the IReV portal.
“our anger is the result. We demand an IReV result. Electronically transmitted results, the ones Mahmood Yakubu promised us that made us to come out to cast our votes.
“From the polling units to wards to area councils to the states. So, that’s what we demand. We will not take rigging for an answer. We need original result, ” he said.
Responding to their demands, the Secretary of Administration, at INEC, Yakubu Doko maintained that the commission was transparent in the conduct of the 2023 elections.
Doko, who represented the State REC, Alhaji Ahmed Yusha’u Garki said “INEC is transparent, we are open. We have nothing to hide, but for clarifications on the uploading of results, we will wait to hear from the INEC headquarters in Abuja, “
