🇳🇬 Tinubu ahead in Nigeria election as opposition parties reject vote

Nigeria's ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu was ahead in the vote count after Saturday's presidential poll, a tally of provisional results showed on Monday, but opposition parties walked out of the counting process citing concerns of fraud.

"INEC's lack of efficient planning in critical stages and effective public communication reduced trust in the process," the European Union observer mission said in a statement.

Opposition parties remained unsatisfied.

"The electoral process has been rigged and we are completely disassociating ourselves from it," PDP Atiku's campaign manager said at the INEC results centre.

"We regret to say that we have lost confidence in the results being collated and announced," director of Obi's Labour party campaign told. "We hereby call on the INEC to follow its own guidelines or completely cancel the entire election."
