Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, says he would have joined Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, in the protest at the national assembly complex over the real-time electronic transmission of election results.
Obi had on Monday led a group of protesters to the national assembly complex in Abuja over the senate’s rejection of real-time electronic transmission of election results.
Speaking during an interview on Trust Television, el-Rufai cited his trip abroad as the reason for his absence from the demonstration.
The former governor said the real-time transmission of results is the only way Nigerians can stop “the manipulation that goes on in the collation centres” on election days.
“That is where the real rigging takes place,” he said.
