Many Nigerians are still rejecting the outcome of the Presidential election in which Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), emerged winner.
The declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President elect was made by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.
During the collation of the presidential results in Abuja, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) alleged electoral fraud over discrepancies in the figures announced.
Tinubu’s emergence as president elect was trailed with massive outrage by Nigerians.
Highest Bidder
Adding his voice to the demand by many other Nigerians, veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo says INEC sold the presidential election to the highest bidder and its Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, is responsible for the purported malpractice that marred the electoral process.

Kanayo urged Nigerians to question the INEC Chairman on his failure to transmit results from the polling booth and the reason for compromising his earlier decision.
To him, INEC deceived Nigerians and sold the election to the highest bidder and those who lost should approach the court.
Taking a swipe at Nigerian professors, the veteran actor said they have lost their respect because they connived in messing with the country.
He said: “We must hold accountable the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu for promising to transmit results from the polling booth.
“So, we need to ask him at what point did he change his mind and compromised.
“It’s not about Peter Obi or any candidate winning but doing the right thing.
“INEC do not allow Nigerians to engulf themselves by doing the right thing.
“INEC chairman and Commissioners have compromised; they sold shame to me in the marketplace. You deceived us.
“They sold the election to the highest bidder so that those who lost would go to court and start another process.
