Nigerians Reel as INEC Releases Presidential Election Results on IReV Platform

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has finally uploaded the results of Nigeria's presidential elections, which were held three weeks ago, on the iRev portal. The results were released on Saturday, March 19, 2023. According to reports, the iRev platform was specifically designed to enhance the transparency of Nigeria's electoral process by enabling real-time electronic transmission of election results. However, the iRev portal encountered technical challenges and delayed the transmission of the presidential election results for three weeks, creating tension and public outcry nationwide. In a statement released by INEC, the commission apologized for the delay and assured Nigerians of its commitment to always ensure a transparent and credible electoral process.

The commission added that the delay was due to technical glitches and that it has since fixed the issues in the iRev portal, and the results of the presidential election are now available on the platform. The release of these results has been highly anticipated, as the election outcome has serious implications for the direction of the Nigerian economy, security, and social stability. The presidential election was contested by several candidates from various political parties. Several Nigerians took to social media to express their relief at the release of the long-awaited presidential election results. Still, others criticized INEC for not releasing the results sooner, stressing the need for the government to invest more resources in the country's electoral process and infrastructure. As reactions continue to pour in from different quarters, many Nigerians are hopeful that the next four years will bring positive change and progress to the country, while others express disappointment and concern about the electoral process and its democratic credentials
