BREAKING: INEC releases important update on Upload of Presidential Election Results

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC , has issued a statement on its failure to upload Presidential Election Results in the just concluded 2023 Presidential Elections.

The statement read; “The Commission is aware of challenges with the INEC Results Viewing Portal (IReV). Unlike in off-season elections where the portal was used, it has been relatively slow and unsteady. The Commission regrets this setback, especially because of the importance of IReV in our results management process.

“The problem is totally due to technical hitches related to scaling up the IReV from a platform for managing off-season, State elections, to one for managing nationwide general elections. It is indeed not unusual for glitches to occur and be corrected in such situations.”

“Consequently, the Commission wishes to assure Nigerians that the challenges are not due to any
intrusion or sabotage of our systems, and that the IReV remains well-secured.”

“Our technical team is working assiduously to solve all the outstanding problems, and users of the IReV
would have noticed improvements since last night.”

“We also wish to assure Nigerians that results from the Polling Unitcopies of which were issued to
political parties, are safe on both the BVAS and the |ReV portal. These results cannot be tampered
with and any discrepancy between them and the physical results used in collation will be thoroughly
investigated and remediated, in line with Section 65 of the Electoral Act 2022.”

“While we fully appreciate the concerns of the public on this situation and welcome various suggestions
that we have received from concerned Nigerians, it is important to avoid statements and actions that
can heat up the polity at this time or promote disaffection towards the Commission.”

“We take full responsibility for the problems and regret the distress that they have caused the
candidates, political parties and the electorate.”

INEC Chairman u had compromised, please don’t plug Nigeria into crises that will give room for war and division, just cancel the whole election, ensure that BIVAS is transmitted result from polling unit direct to INEC server, so that Nigeria will have faith and see there life results. Whosoever win will have the support of the citizen. We had passed this charades character of u that called your self a professor without integrity.
