candidates who win elections freely.

He said INEC’s action is not targeted at the voters who voted people of their choice, but to address “excesses of those who want to use unconventional means to win elections.”

Don't tell me that INEC believes that Buhari won freely

The body INEC is of no use, infact there is where the down fall of Nigeria started, if we can not fixed INEC right Nigeria can not be fixed right.

What about Gandollar, did he win freely?

Comedians lol....senseless idiots

If that's the case, many of the acclaimed winners of the 2019 elections deserve to have their certificates of return withdrawn because most of the elections were characterised with rigging, vote buying, inducements, violence etc.

What about those that were rigged like presidential election

That means Gandollar will not be given certificate of return

Look at this saying.... That means you're not capable: the result you announced didn't come from you...if there be a report on it, you stop issuing CofR

If U give it to ganduje then Ur statement contradict ur action.

Leele!

Are these guys jokers? You know what I won't even respond to this. No point really

including some of the rerun elections where it was obvious they didn't win freely?

INEC are rubbish, do they mean they declared people who didn't win freely as winners?

even Ganduje🤷🏻‍♂️ what about Mr integrity?

Example Buhari

Double standards mofos

I hope this statement also applies to Dr Abdullahi umar ganduje of kano state.

Please tell ROCHAS, nobody voted for him. He can not be given a mandate that does not exist. Let him go & build more statues biko

Can Someone call ganduje to see this. OfficialPDPNig
