INEC is such a funny body…. After all the boasting… This is the best they could do? Allowing Policians rig and upload mutilated results?
My advice to all the Polling Unit agents in the remaining units voting today should never… Ever.. For any reason allow INEC adhoc staff move out without uploading the results… If they insist on going to the INEC office For whatever code….go with them….. Don’t get your eyes off the Result sheets..
