"Atiku Abubakar's Advisor Advocates for Full Disclosure as Means to Lay the Eternal Specter of the 2023 Election to Rest - Suggests Speaking to Mahmood Yakubu"

The call for the disclosure of the comprehensive results of the 2023 presidential election has been echoed by Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The call, made on the platform of the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) Twitter handle, @inecnigeria, aims to address lingering controversies surrounding the conduct of the election and the subsequent announcement of President Bola Tinubu as the winner.

Ibe's statement, made on Sunday, September 7, 2025, urges INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to announce the detailed results from the polling units, regardless of any potential tampering. This call is made in the hope that it will put to rest the controversies and public doubts surrounding the February 25, 2023 election.

The call for transparency is part of a larger discussion about the conduct of the 2023 presidential election. Ibe's post suggests that there are lingering controversies over the election, and the disclosure of the results would help to permanently rest these doubts.

It is worth noting that President Tinubu, the current candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 Nigerian presidential elections, has been endorsed by APC in Bayelsa State and is expected to retain Vice President Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

This call for the disclosure of election results comes despite potential tampering with the results, as Ibe suggests that Yakubu should be courageous enough to make public the detailed results from the polling units, regardless of any potential tampering. The hope is that this disclosure will help to address the doubts about the February 25, 2023 election and the subsequent announcement of the winner, referencing the 2am March 01, 2023, working from the answer result as announced by Prof Mahmood Yakubu.

The disclosure of the election results is intended to address public doubts surrounding the election and put an end to the controversies once and for all. Mahmood Yakubu is urged to announce the comprehensive results of the 2023 presidential election before the end of his tenure.
