Some aggrieved voters have vowed to storm and occupy the National Collation Centre in Abuja to stop further announcements of the results.
Nigerians and foreign observers have continued to express their anger over alleged discrepancies that characterized the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
The protesters who gathered near the National Defence College located a few meters away from the International Conference (ICC) on Monday, where the collation is taking place vowed to occupy the center.
The protesters said they would not be intimidated by the security operatives stationed around the collation center, noting that they have activated all other aggrieved and concerned Nigerians across the country to occupy all INEC offices in all states until the right thing is done and announcement of results is stopped.
The concerned Nigerians who spoke one after the other said they were there to convey the message to the Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to write his name in gold and announce the cancellation of the election.
They described the election as fraudulent which cannot stand the test of time.
According to a protester who identified himself as Big Mo said, “We came here and we have done the press briefing. We send the message to the fraudulent Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and all his team for what is going right here. The fraudulent results they are announcing.
“But today is just a message because as we speak right now our people in Delta are occupying INEC office, our people in Plateau are occupying INEC office, our people in Port Harcourt are occupying INEC office . All over the country from tomorrow if this fraudulent collation is not stopped, the entire young and old people of Nigeria will die here.”
They accused the electoral body of lying to Nigerians that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) would transmit results to the INEC server once the voting had ended.
They expressed disappointment on how the results were deliberately delayed by the INEC officials to enable them to manipulate and undermine the process in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
