Activist Aisha Yesufu has urged Nigerians to keep a close watch on the electoral process, from the counting of votes at polling units to the final collation of results, saying the country cannot rely solely on the technology deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Yesufu made the call in a post on X, where she urged citizens to monitor the handling and movement of result sheets through every stage of the collation process.

“The technology of INEC cannot be trusted! We will consider everything manual and analogue,” she said.

She urged voters to remain vigilant at polling units, particularly during the counting and recording of votes.

“We must watch eagle eyed the counting of our votes on the Election Day. Watch like hawks as they write the results,” she said.

Yesufu further advised Nigerians to follow the result sheets from polling units through ward and local government collation centres to the state level and, ultimately, Abuja.

“Follow our result sheets from polling unit to ward, LG, State collation centres and finally to Abuja,” she said.

She stressed the need for continuous monitoring, saying election officials and result sheets should remain under public scrutiny throughout the process.

“In all of these no single official or result sheets must be out of our sights,” Yesufu said.

“From the creeks to the deserts we will follow,” she added.

According to the activist, the priority should be to ensure that the final results declared by the electoral authorities accurately reflect the votes cast by Nigerians.

“At the end we will all gather in Abuja and ensure that what the people voted is what is announced,” she said.
