There have been outcries on social media regarding the delay in uploading polling units results on the INEC portal.
Earlier in a Twitter post, a Labour Party chieftain, Pat Utomi, said he spoke to his party’s Chairman who expressed fear that there might be youth uprising if they sense that the election might be rigged.
His post read, “Just spoke to Labour Party Chairman Abure who fears that the upload failure epidemic may be seen by the youth as attempt to rig a clear Labour landslide across the country. He is scared that if they hit the streets Nigeria could burn. I urge Chairman Yakubu to redeem himself.”
