Muhammadu Buhari (file photo)The second place finisher in the presidential election in Nigeria is difficult results which said, have been rigged by computers of the electoral commission. There is violence in the Northern States, following a vote that international observers more was largely free and fair.
Former military leader Muhammadu Buhari is appeal to his supporters to remain calm as his party prepares to challenge the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
"We started high-level consultations to recover your stolen mandate." "I therefore urge you to continue to be patient," said Buhari.
Some supporters of Buhari fought against riot police, in the States of the North after the results of the elections rekindle ethnic violence and religious which displaced thousands of people, caused an undetermined number of dead and saw the mosques and churches burned. Buhari condemned this violence.
"This law is worse than the rigging of the elections," he said. "Information reached me, frustration, some of you have been destroying voter cards." It is a very serious error which will not solve your issues. ?
Instead, Buhari appealed to his supporters to stay politically active as its Congress for progressive change party (CPC) questioned what he said, it was the rigging of electronic voting.
"They have discovered in Katsina and Kano, that the computer has been programmed for us, the CPC, cheating by percentage 40 and 26 respectively," said Buhari.
Katsina and Kano are States of the North which won the Buhari. He says that fraud should reduce its vote total. In the States of the South that have been won by Jonathan, Buhari said fraud was to inflate the totals for the PDP Party.
"In the South - South, Southeast, five States, and six States in 11 States the turn out physically, you can cross-check of the INEC officials who were there, was between 25 and 40 percent," he said. "" "". But the results showed that 99%, 98 per cent, 97% of voters cards voted for PDP. And bring us all this information and confront the CENI with it. And then we will go to the Court. The party will go to the Court on this issue. ?
National Independent Electoral Commission (INEC Nigeria) did not respond specifically to complaints of the Buhari campaign, but a spokesman for the CENI said candidates challenging results are open to challenge before the Court.
President Jonathan says the vote was one of the best in the country. He congratulated his opponents, and that the nation expects their continued leadership.
"I have no enemies to fight." "Indeed, I reassure Nigerians that we are going to continue to lead a Government that is committed to justice, fairness and justice for all," said Jonathan.
Buhari says that the presidential election was, in his words, "an unmitigated disaster" by error validated by election observers based largely in the North.
"We will prove that it was even worse because of the sophisticated computer rigging," he said. "How people were voting in the South - South, Southeast, and a portion of Southwest".
Results of the election commission show Jonathan avoid a second round with Buhari because the President has won at least a quarter of the votes in at least 24 States.
That provision is intended to ensure that a Nigerian President has some degree of national support and is not simply a regional candidate. But the vote collapsed on regional lines in any event with President Jonathan win South and Buhari, winning the North.
