THE Presidency has described the recent presidential election as an improvement over previous editions.
In a statement issued yesterday, Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, stated that no one, except the candidates who “fell short,” questioned the election results.
According to him, the biggest and most contested presidential race in Nigerian history was won by one man: Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Though it is true there were some delays and technical faults in the process that we can learn from – as is the case in any election the world over – the vote progressed and consolidated democracy in Nigeria,” the presidential spokesman said.
“The integrity of the Electoral Act of 2022 was strengthened. The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System cut out ghost, unauthorised or multiple votes to stem fraud.
“The election may not have been pluperfect, but due to the steps the government has taken, it is an improvement on previous polls. That achievement should not be overlooked. The next step is for the Election Commission to ensure transparency in collation.”
