Sharing the video, Ugezu expressed his displeasure at the INEC for resorting to old of collating election results in the ongoing election, instead of uploading the results in real-time.

The actor said that INEC’s decision to collate the results manually enhanced rigging and any competent court can cancel the whole process.

He wrote, “Apparently as far back as Nov 2022 someone leaked info that Mr Yakubu and his bullion van merchandise already had plans to rig by not uploading polling unit level results in real time. He came out to blatantly deny it, and that’s exactly what we are witnessing now.

“On INEC refusing to upload the results REALTIME, but resorted to the old analogue way that enhanced rigging, any competent court can cancel the whole process. INEC is a joke.”
