Osun election: Davido queries delay in uploading results to INEC portal

Nigerian Afrobeats star David Adeleke, known as Davido, has publicly questioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the delayed upload of results from the Osun State governorship election to its Result Viewing Portal (IReV).

INEC, it is now 2:33 p.m., yet no result has been uploaded to the IReV portal. What is the delay? Nigerians deserve transparency and timely updates.

Davido took to his X account on Saturday to express his concerns, stating, "INEC, it is now 2:33 p.m., yet no result has been uploaded to the IReV portal. What is the delay? Nigerians deserve transparency and timely updates." He urged voters to remain vigilant at their polling units until their results were officially uploaded and to verify that the figures were correctly entered on the electronic EC8A result form.

"Make sure your polling unit results are uploaded on IReV in your presence and make sure the figures are entered on eEC8A (electronic EC8A). We will follow our votes bumper to bumper!" Davido posted. He also advised voters to photograph their polling unit result sheets and send them to a provided WhatsApp number, reinforcing the message, "Don’t leave your polling unit until it is being uploaded on the IReV, protect your vote now."

Davido, whose uncle Governor Ademola Adeleke is seeking re-election, also suggested a workaround for the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) if its camera malfunctions, noting that the front camera is "very active and fast." The singer has been actively campaigning for his uncle's re-election bid.
