Following the  INEC lawyer’s final reports and acceptance that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party won in 21 States of the Federation, it is pertinent that Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu intentionally falsified Presidential election results in favor of All Progressive Congress to have declared Ahmed Bola Tinubu the winner. Hence, the INEC Chairman should immediately resign his office and tender an unreserved apology to Nigeria.

It is a bad precedent for the nation to be subjected to continued election fraud which tturnderails our democratic values.

For INEC lawyers to have failed to counter the fact that PDP won in 21 states confirms that  Atiku Abubakar and Nigerians were robbed of their hard-earned votes in favor of APC. While Nigeria is economically bleeding due to the poor managerial capacity of the immediate past administration, INEC out of culpability doctored election results against the will and interest of the people.

How would the nation be freed from this level of malady when those entrusted with the mandate of piloting the affairs of the government aid abet corruption and injustice? Mahmoud Yabuku has no reason to further remain in office and let the stolen mandate be restored so that the rightful winner in law will take over the leadership of the nation. The citizens undergo hardship of all sorts in the hands of clueless leaders while one who is of the capacity to transform things is being neglected and denied access to what he qualifies to handle.

Our democracy is fast collapsing while the actors and masterminds remain unpunished  INEC should emulate What JAMB did in the case of Messoma to prove to Nigerians that it is still capable of conducting elections without malpractices  An institution that took billions of Naira as budget to conduct 2023 general elections and in the end, disappointed the people and the world at large  A testimony that European Union still holds to her chest that INEC unfairly conducted the 2023 general elections.
