INEC SHOULD DECLARE PRESIDENT-ELECT, AGGRIEVED POLITICIANS SHOULD GO TO COURT - JAMA'ATU NASRIL ISLAM

Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the apex Islamic organisation in Nigeria led by the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar III, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to go ahead with the collation of Saturday's presidential election results and declare whoever wins the president-elect.

There have been calls for the electoral umpire to stop the ongoing collation of presidential election results, over alleged irregularities and manipulation of results across the country.

This followed the failure by INEC to upload results of the presidential elections collated in various polling units across the country to the Central Server as stipulated in the election guidelines.

The group advised Muslim faithful to pray to weather the storm that the country has faced on account of the general elections.

"Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has observed with serious concern the most unfolding events arising from the collation of the 2023 General Elections’ results and the resultant inflammatory statements and venomous commentaries being peddled, which tantamount to overheating the polity.
