Nigerian election 'a mess': opposition calls for annulment |
| Home | (CBC News) - The top opposition candidate in Nigeria's presidential election, along with an election monitoring group, called on Sunday for the vote to be annulled amid allegations of voting irregularities and fraud. Vice-president Atiku Abubakar, one of the three leading contenders and leader of the Action Congress party, branded Saturday's presidential and legislative elections "a mess." "I have already rejected the elections. They have no alternative other than to cancel them altogether," Abubakar told reporters in the capital, Abuja. "What we have seen clearly proves our fears that it is the worst election ever seen." |
