2023 Elections: APC governors doctored results, INEC should have uploaded immediately – Atiku protests 

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate requested that Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, INEC’s national chairman, urged the election’s collation officers to upload the results of yesterday’s poll to the INEC server right away.

Atiku claimed that the action was required to checkmate a few governors who were attempting to tamper with the outcomes of the local government collation. 

In a statement online on Sunday, February 26, by his spokesman, Paul Ibe, Atiku said: 

“It will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday.”
