This is one of the election that is a true reflection of what people voted. If Buhari rigged the election, there are enough figures that could have been manipulated. Eg: Katsina has over 3million collected PVC but Buhari only got like 1.1m votes. If it were PDP days, 2.5m votes will be on the result sheets. |
