Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni has warned Nigerians about the importance of monitoring the 2027 general election results. He urged citizens to independently verify figures and establish their own monitoring stations, as they should not solely rely on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Oseni highlighted the glitch encountered during the Osun State election as evidence of the need for independent monitoring.
He stressed that Nigerians should set up their own election monitoring and collation stations to document and compare the figures on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. Oseni also called for Form EC8A, EC8B, and EC8C to be uploaded to the IReV so that Nigerians can independently verify results and identify discrepancies. He emphasized that while independent monitoring does not grant citizens the power to officially declare election results, it is still crucial for cross-checking and peer review.
INEC should also make its election protocols public, especially as the commission considers using artificial intelligence in future elections.
