The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, and his aides, according to National Conscience Party (NCP) presidential candidate Martin Onovo (2015), are the main source of issues with Nigeria’s electoral system.
In a conversation with Daily Sun, Onovo made this claim.
He maintained that there is nothing wrong with the country’s electoral act and added that the electoral body’s personnel ought to take the fall for the nation’s unsuccessful elections.
Onovo asserted that a fraudster posing as the State Collation Officer had compiled the results of the 2023 Rivers State presidential contest.

He said, “Stop please, it is not the process that is flawed, it is Alhaji Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and his officials that are the problem. The process was violated. Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and IreV system was sabotaged.
“The 2023 Rivers State presidential results were collated by an impostor that impersonated the State Collation Officer. BBC did a report on that. The IreV results for Rivers State show that Labour Party won with a large margin but Alhaji Yakubu published that the ruling party won.”
Speaking further, he urged opposition parties to boycott any elections conducted by INEC.
“The authentic opposition parties must either boycott any elections organized by INEC or prepare super-adequate anti-violence and anti-fraud schemes to confront the ruling party and INEC at every polling unit in Nigeria,” he added.
