INEC’s New Review Rule: Why Parties Should Secure Their Own Collation Systems

In 2022, INEC rolled out guidelines for transmitting election results, trialling the system in Osun and winning praise from many Nigerians. By 2023, those same rules were abandoned and the result server was switched off for presidential tallies alone. Now INEC demands result reviews within 24 hours of announcement. This appears designed to trap parties that plan independent collation servers, such as the NDC. I still believe the NDC should press ahead with offshore viewing and collation centres covering 99% of polling units. We can’t afford another INEC server glitch or an APC-aligned chairman’s manipulated review. It’s time for Tinubu to return home to Iragbiji.
