In the alleged results, a copy of which was attached to the post, the APC polled 200 votes; AA scored 1; while ADC, PDP and SDP got 2 votes each.
- Yiaga Africa made this claim in a post on its handle, @YIAGA, on X.
- It called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate the results.
YIAGA Africa, a civil society organisation, has expressed concern over the finding of election results from a Kogi State polling place that were tampered with before the polls closed.
According to reports, the results came from Polling Unit 004 in the Eni Ward of the Ogori/Mangogo region of the state.
Yiaga Africa made this known on Saturday morning via its handle, @YIAGA, and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to look into the results.
“Dear @inecnigeria we received report of pre-filled results sheet discovered in PU 004, Eni Ward of Ogori/magongo in Kogi state before commencement of voting. Kindly investigate and address this issue promptly to safeguard the integrity of the process,” the post read.
In the alleged results, a copy of which was attached to the post, the APC polled 200 votes; AA scored 1; while ADC, PDP and SDP got 2 votes each.
INEC, which was tagged in the post, had yet to respond to the issue as of the time of filing this report.
At about 9.45am, the organisation posted another pre-recorded result sheet from PU 020, Eika/Ohizenyi, Okehi LGA of the state.
“Another case of pre-filled results sheet in PU 020, Eika/Ohizenyi, Okehi LGA of Kogi state,” it wrote.
