Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu to order even as he called for immediate return to electronic transmission of results to avert imminent danger looming.

Obasanjo in a letter issued yesterday and signed by him asked the President to urge the INEC Chairman to do the right and prevent a looming breakdown of law and order.

He asked the INEC to adhere to its law by making sure that all results of last week’s Presidential election were uploaded to the server in order to prevent any suspicion on the part of political parties.

He commended Buhari’s resolve to make this year’s election credible but believe that some INEC officials including its Chairman is trying to compromise the process.

“For INEC, a lot of money was spent to introduce BVAS, and the Server for immediate transmission of results from polling units.

He also alleged that the INEC had compromised thus trying to manipulate the results of the last Saturday elections against the will of Nigerians.

2023 election shockers!

He, therefore, called on INEC to reschedule the contentious polls to March 4.

“It is no secret that INEC officials, at the operational level, have been allegedly compromised to make what should have worked not to work and to revert to the manual transmission of results which is manipulated and the results doctored.

“The Chairman of INEC may claim ignorance but he cannot fold his hands and do nothing when he knows that the election process has been corrupted and most of the results that are brought outside BVAS and Server are not a true reflection of the will of Nigerians who have made their individual choice.

“At this stage, we do not need wittingly or unwittingly to set this country on fire with the greed, irresponsibility and unpatriotic act of those who allegedly gave money to INEC officials for perversion and those who collected the blood money.”
