The Independent National Electoral Commission has come under fire on social media after it declared the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu winner of the 2023 presidential election.
The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu declared Tinubu winner at exactly 4:10 a.m on Wednesday in Abuja.
Tinubu polled a total of 8,794,726 votes to defeat his closest rival and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar who scored 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi of Labour party who polled 6,101,533 votes.
Leaders of opposition parties have been calling for the cancellation of the presidential election that took place on Saturday February 25th.
On Tuesday, The two main opposition parties, the PDP and the Labour Party held a joint news conference declaring that the election cannot be legal if it did not follow due process according to the electoral act.
Subsequently, a Chieftain of the APC, Femi Fani Kayode, has described the call for the cancellation of the election by opposition leaders as contrived and a conspiracy, because they knew that would lose the election.
The media adviser of the APC presidential campaign council Dele Alake attacked Arise TV Journalist, ‘Amaka Udeh’, during a press briefing organized by the all progressives congress after she asked members of the APC to tone down their rhetoric because they were on live television.
Tinubu in his victory speech, while thanking his wife Senator Oluremi for standing by him, told senators not to expect her in the senate when he becomes NIgeria’s president in May.

There should be nothing like INEC chairman again.Let international body be the one to be conducting election in Nigeria.
That Man rig the election.The election was not in any way close to free and fair.
That man was supposed to be arrested immediately.
Let labour party or PDP go to court,if u let this people go Scot-free.Nigeria will never have democracy.
Wizard. Only blood sucking demons will shamelessly behave like this man. English speaking cameroonians are suffering and dying today because of Buharia and this old man. God will punish them all.
INEC chairman confidently and consistently make promises and break them, no nobility at all, so shameful. I wonder what his children are thinking of himself at the moment.
You this small minded delusional journalists working for Arise are the problems of Nigeria!😂 Ojy Okpe couldn't make her marriage work but wants to solve nigeria's problem!😂🤣. Ayo has a bad attitude & has lost touch of reality.🤣. Rufai you are talking absolute nonsense🤣. Seriously you journalists at Arise are all clowns
There is no democracy in Nigeria
We didn’t elect you….
I blocked everyone who celebrated Tinubu victory on my contact. No time for rubbish people….
This man is a joker
Another Abacha's regime. God help us in Nigeria.
I don't know who is deceiving you guys that your station is doing well. Arise is the worst TV station in Africa not only in Nigeria. You are so partician and biased against APC and you still have the right to go to tbe APC program to tell them to lover their languages. Have you ever told Kenneth of LP and Dino Melaye, Phrank shuaibu etc the same? You guys are policinas ant not journalists.
Why Fani dey clap for himself…. Narcissist 😂
Arise and Shine Oji, Rufai and my beautiful sister. You have done well by all measurable parameters and may the Lord protect you all. Please remember the basic principle behind the classic book "Animal Farm" O how are the past heroes becoming villains and uncivilized barbarians.
God will continue to bless you Oseni for always saying the truth the way it is
ffk has no dignity. What a useless man
The truth would prevail
I love Arise and will forever be a fans to you guys. Thunder will fire Dele and his crew and Apc will never see the daylight. Tinubu has absolutely nothing to offer this nation. They are all useless fellows. Just look as someone like FFK that is so worthless has the face to also talked. Hmmmm this country is mess bcos if I stepped into office I will get all og them arrested to jail. They are all fools
What did you want him to review if the opposition didn't tender any reports of fraud officially
Rulfai and his co-presenter are guilty of what they accusing Dele Alake and co of, you people are hypocritical
Biafra in waiting
Keep quiet, BRT lane offender boy. Compare your argument to Dr. Abati's
Legendry Chinua Achebe said that there was a COUNTRY but as for m i would say there was no and have never been a COUNTRY, if you like take it if you don't like it then think about it. WHAT A DISGRACE
Pls someone should answer me, where is Tudun Abiola 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I so much love the introduction….
God forbid us electing you, you stole the people mandate, may thy GOD who has the power of life and dearth visit you in anger.

Am ashamed of Dele Alake as a journalist and feel bad for Nigeria generally because this what we are going to live with for the next four years.
Arise News is likely to be shut down or restricted if Tinubu enters Aso Villa as president. Darker days ahead for freedom of the press with a Tinubu presidency. A simple advice to lower their voice has become a problem.
You were not elected but delected
Arise news is here to stay
No cabals led by a criminal can stop that
We love you Peter Obi… You are our worthy president… We know no other.
This TV station is anti Tinubu from beginning. You will never see anything good in Tinubu.
Rufai is simply a man with integrity, intellectually unmatched.
You people up there are shameless. Unbelievable and for you Chief lier Dele Alake, election did not took place in only half of the 700+ polling units which is the number you APC and your thugs allowed. Pointer, if election took place in all of the polling boots why did we have only 60 million votes counted, when 82m PVCs were collected?
U can’t give what u don’t have!
Dr abati is a big fool
Arise TV is very angry at Tinubu's win.
This FFK is just a shameless man. So stupid and unstable like water.
Mr Dele Alake will be the next Lie Mohammed or Garba Shehu. Watch out.
Arise News is the best media locally and internationally.
I loveeeeeee ARISE NEWS they're the best!!! we're proud of y'all.
Almost every viewer here dropped a comment…wow…sad times…but I know, we the good people of Nigeria will surely have our day…when the Crown will be returned to the true winners…NIGERIA!🤗
The majority of voters didn't vote APC Tinubu presidency. Then how come APC wins? The majority shared their votes between Obi & Atiku.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
We can all agree that these matters should be handled by scholars. I have a sincere question though… What if we live in a world where prominent scholars are being jailed merely for speaking haqq and advising the rulers? Why are you not recognizing this current problem?**It's been three years since Sheikh Fahd al-Qadi died in Saudi prison due to medical negligence by the authorities.
Sheikh al-Qadi was arrested in 2016 because of a PRIVATE letter of advice he sent to the Saudi Royal Court in which he described violations committed by the Ministry of Education.
He was known for his work with the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
He was sent to prison because he advised the ruler PRIVATELY! What will Madkhalis say next? Advise the rulers in your hearts and dreams.
Just came to enjoy Abati do his intro….😆😆😂
Nigerians didn't elect Tinubu please 🙄. Federal government and INEC selected him for the position, for reasons best known to them
Arise TV kudos for the great job.
If the announced results stand, Nigeria is a joke!
Pure & Simple!
What elections.
That Farce!
Femi shut up
That was not an election.
That was vandalism pure and simple.
Nigeria, get ready for a Black Khmer Rouge & Pol Pot if the farce stands!
This show is always the highlight of my day. Thanks guys
