Announce ‘comprehensive’ 2023 election result before you leave – Atiku’s aide urges INEC boss

A media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has urged the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to release what he described as the “comprehensive results” of the 2023 presidential election before the end of his tenure.

Ibe, in a post on X on Sunday, said Yakubu should make public the detailed results from the polling units, even if they had been tampered with, in order to put to rest lingering controversies over the conduct of the election.

He maintained that such disclosure would address public doubts surrounding the February 25 election and the subsequent announcement of President Bola Tinubu as winner in the early hours of March 1, 2023.

He said: “I hope that before he ends his tenure as the Chairman of @inecnigeria, Prof. Professor Mahmood Yakubu will be courageous enough to announce the comprehensive results of the 2023 presidential election starting from the polling units (PU). It matters less if those results have been mutilated. Let’s have it warts and all.

“That’s the only way to permanently rest the ghost of 2023 and resolve the 2am March 01, 2023, working from the answer result as announced by Prof Go To Court Mahmood Yakubu!”
