In what is stirring political conversations across Nigeria, former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has allegedly released what he claims to be the authentic results of the 2023 Presidential Election, prior to the official announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
While the full details and verification of the purported results remain unclear, El-Rufai’s reported position has raised fresh questions regarding the credibility of the 2023 electoral process and the role of electoral institutions. There are also claims circulating online suggesting that external influence and bribery may have played a role in shaping the final announcement by INEC, a matter which, if proven true, would amount to a grave threat to democracy.
