Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP) in the 2023 election has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of fraud.
Kwankwaso claimed INEC fraudulently allocated votes to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu who was the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the February 25 election.
The former Kano State Governor made the accusation in an interview with BBC Hausa Service.

He stressed that Tinubu could not have won because Nigerians were no more interested in the APC.
To Kwankwaso, Nigerians now preferred his party which he claimed has a bright future with “big politicians” trooping in.
He said:
“Another interesting thing is that more people, particularly big politicians, are seriously indicating interest in our party, and they are willing to make necessary contributions to move the party forward. Take a look at our rivals, particularly the PDP.
“They are in a serious crisis, particularly as it concerns its leaders. In Kano State, some thought PDP will be of help to them, or game changer, but they were disappointed woefully. Same with the APC.
“All these votes you see INEC mentioned were fraudulently allocated to its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. The truth is that Nigerians don’t like APC anymore, hence our party is the one that has the future.”
