This Online News Media reported that the presidential election was flawed by election violence, intimidation and voters suppression in many states.

The results where manually collated instead of being transmitted from the polling units through the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) as earlier stated by INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

Obi argued that the electoral process lacks credibility, transparency and contradicts the INEC rules and regulations as stated in the Electoral Act 2022.
