We Are Gathering Data; Bvas Was Corrupted- Akin Osuntokun

Akin Osuntokun, director general of the LP Presidential Campaign Council, asserted that the BVAS was "perverted" throughout the presidential and National Assembly elections.

The Labour Party is collating the outcomes of the exercise, Osuntokun stated during an appearance for an interview on Channels Television. Additionally, he asserted that the party won certain states with greater margins.

He said; 

“BVAS has been perverted. Something that is to serve a good course has now been perverted. Because once the BVAS does its role – takes a picture of the results – the polling agents will have it.

“So, the polling agents have all the results and we have our own that is presently being compiled.

“It has been said before – about nine opinion polls – prior to the election said Obi was going to win.

“INEC has another opportunity on Saturday [governorship and state house of assembly elections] to redeem itself.”

President Muhammadu Buhari, who pledged to leave a credible election, should be concerned about the presidential and National Assembly elections, according to Osuntokun.

He added; 

“He wants Nigerians to remember him for the best election ever conducted. But look at the absurdity of what has happened! Is this the legacy he wants to bequeath?”
