Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu has said Nigerians cannot rely on INEC’s technology during elections, urging citizens to closely monitor the counting and movement of result sheets through every stage of collation.
Yesufu made the call in a statement posted on X, where she urged Nigerians to pay close attention to the process from polling units until the final collation in Abuja.
“The technology of INEC cannot be trusted! We will consider everything manual and analogue,” she said.
She urged voters to closely watch the counting of votes and how results are recorded at polling units on election day.
“We must watch eagle-eyed the counting of our votes on Election Day. Watch like hawks as they write the results,” Yesufu said.
She also called for result sheets to be monitored as they move from polling units to ward, local government and state collation centres, before reaching Abuja.
“Follow our result sheets from polling unit to ward, LG, State collation centres and finally to Abuja,” she said.
Yesufu said Nigerians should ensure that neither election officials nor result sheets are allowed to leave their sight throughout the process.
“In all of these, no single official or result sheet must be out of our sights
“From the creeks to the deserts we will follow,” Yesufu said.
Yesufu said the ultimate goal should be to ensure that the result announced reflects the votes cast by Nigerians.
“At the end we will all gather in Abuja and ensure that what the people voted for is what is announced,” she said.
