Yiaga Africa has raised an alarm over alleged disruptions in the collation of results for Oredo and Ikpoba/Okha local government areas.
The group via its X handle on Sunday claimed observers and INEC officials were teargassed.
“Reports from our LGA collation center observers indicate disruptions in the collation process for Oredo and Ikpoba/Okha. Observers and INEC officials are being tear gassed in Ikpoba/Okha,” the post reads.
“We want to emphasize that collating LGA results at the state headquarters violates the established procedure for results collation. We urge @inecnigeria to stand firm against intimidation and interference. Electoral law permits accredited observers, media, and party agents to monitor results collation at all levels.
“Failure to address these issues risks undermining the legitimacy of what has been a peaceful process since its commencement.”
I’m an earlier post, “Yiaga Africa observed the incidence of vote buying across several LGAs, but in six LGA, votes sold for N10,000 per vote.”
