Nigerians are optimistic people. Rigging will not stop and the winners of elections is likely going to be far from what the people voted. #OsunDecides2026

Don’t call it a glitch. You don’t know Nigerian politicians. The BVAS malfunction is intentional; designed to create room for manual thumbprinting and rigging for the ruling party #OsunDecides2026 https://t.co/n7TrMn3vRS

I just finished voting, APC imported thugs under Nigeria Police Force supervision and prevented the other party members from voting. People were held under gun, machete and made to vote for Ambo, refusal and you’ll be at the end of their wrath #OsunDecides2026
