Leaders in the West African sub-region have called on Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 on the collation of results for the presidential and National Assembly elections held on February 25, 2023.
The leaders include former President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, former President Mahama of Ghana, et al.
According to them, INEC’s compliance will retain the confidence of Nigerians in the ongoing collating of Saturday’s election results.
They, meanwhile, appealed for calm in the country and urged citizens not to resort brigandage and violence.
They called on INEC to address the concerns and procedural questions raised so far by different stakeholders to avoid breakdown of law and order.
