The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced Asiwaju Tinubu as the winner of the February 25th election.

However, a Public Affair Analyst, Opunabo Inko Tariah, has claimed during a newspaper review with plus TV Africa that there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the election results were manipulated. According to him, INEC did not follow its own guidelines, which stipulated that the results from the polling units must correspond with the ones on the IREV before announcing them. This process was not followed, and there are enough indications to suggest that the presidential election results were rigged. The BVAs were used to facilitate this process.
