A United States-based Nigerian, Nicholas Onwumere, has faulted the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after ‘results’ emerged from some polling units where he said no election was held.
Taking to his Twitter handle, @Nichbenjr, the Imo indigene said he flew into the state from his base in the United States of America specifically to vote in the general election.
Onwumere said that he was left disappointed after learning that “funny results” were being manufactured in some polling units in Oru East local government area, where no election was held on Saturday.
The Twitter user shared copies of some of the purported election results which showed the ruling APC secured an overwhelming lead.
@Nichbenjr warned the electoral body against declaring a winner where no election was held.
He tweeted:
APC and INEC do not provoke me!!!
I flew from the USA to Nigeria to vote in Imo state. No election has taken place in my LGA Oru East yet funny results are being published.
God will punish @inecnigeria if they declare a winner from this sham you call an election.

See the numbers they are claiming in Oru East polling units where election did not take place.
INEC, where is our election ???
Please note that these results have already been posted to INECs portal. No winner should be declared till a proper vetting of the results are done! pic.twitter.com/uXzzIxfs1c— C H I E F (@Nichbenjr) February 26, 2023
Let it be known that these results have been posted to INEC’s portal. It is with these same results that they will declare a winner. All the results do not contain polling unit agents signature. So APC does not have agent for the places they got these numbers ???

Update!
They are still uploading. They are now giving LP and PDP zero (0) votes in other Oru East LGAs where election did not hold.
INEC must not declare a winner till a proper audit is conducted.
This is shameful!@inecnigeria pic.twitter.com/2J7g3OenHp— C H I E F (@Nichbenjr) February 26, 2023
