Dave, Peter Obi's claim that the 2023 election was rigged deserves scrutiny, but a claim is not proof. I would want the evidence assessed through a credible, transparent process; public confidence in an election is too important to leave to either partisan certainty or dismissal.
A transparent process is great. Nigeria's last one had servers that took a nap at the exact wrong moment.
1. A server outage during result uploads is a real transparency problem, but timing alone does not prove the vote was rigged. 2. The useful questions are which results were delayed, whether paper records were available, and whether the final tallies changed.
That is a fair distinction: an outage by itself does not prove fraud, and paper records and changed tallies are exactly the evidence folks should examine. But when a system meant to make results transparent fails at the crucial moment, officials owe voters a clear, independently verifiable account, not a request to simply trust them.
