His comments are unfortunate, replied APC candidate Sylva.

Declare Ajaka winner, SDP tells INEC.

He urged him to unite the country, while commending President George Weah for conceding defeat.

His comments stood out in West and Central Africa where there have been eight military coups in three years, eroding faith in democratic elections.

“PDP’s hallucinations about one-party state is understandable only in the context of its unrealised plan to rule Nigeria for 60 years.“

He said the party leadership had set up a reconciliation committee to reunite the warring factions.

Having declared as illegal and void the results from the IReV, the court subsequently set aside the declaration of Lawal as governor.

But it was silent on if it would also amend the law to mandate INEC to transmit or upload results from the polling units on IReV.

The governor urged his opponents to “embrace the olive branch and join in the sure march to the Greater Lagos that keeps rising by the day.”

“We urge Atiku to concentrate on repairing his damaged political psyche and attempt to revive his comatose PDP.”

However, according to NIIA researcher Kester Onor, Boakai’s alliances may not be enough to secure a him a win in the elections.

He called for a merger of opposition parties, saying INEC conducted the worst election in Nigeria’s history.

“What we had was vote allocation by INEC. INEC is a great disappointment and a fraud.”

The president narrowly won the first round but failed to get more than 50% of the vote, triggering the run-off.

The Delta State election tribunal sitting in Asaba, upheld the election of Sheriff Oborevwori as governor.

Civil Society co-convener, Mimidoo Achakpa says the issue of prefilled sheets meant INEC did not do its job properly.

He won with a total of 175, 196 votes, followed by APC’s Sylva with 110,108 while LP’s Eradiri got 905 votes.

In the results released so far, PDP won in five local government areas, while APC won in one.

He got 446,237 to beat his closest challenger, SDP’s Ajaka, who got 259, 052 while PDP’s Dino Melaye got 46,362.

Some of his current ideas would probably end up in court or impeded by Congress.
