They’re conditioning us to accept glitches in 2027 election – Aisha Yesufu raises alarm

In a post on her X handle on Friday, Yesufu alleged that the
increasing reports of technical disruptions in various systems across the
country were not coincidental, but part of a pattern to make the public accept
similar failures during the next polls.

“All of a sudden there are system glitches everywhere!
People are being conditioned ahead of time to accept the glitches that will
come during election!” she wrote.

Yesufu had consistently criticized electoral malpractices
and governance failures.

The comments come amid lingering debates about the conduct
of the 2023 elections.

DAILY POST reported how the last presidential election was
marred by complaints of technical hitches, particularly with the Independent
National Electoral Commission’s, INEC, Results Viewing Portal, IReV.

In addition, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, and the West African Examination Council, WAEC, had also witnessed
technical glitches recently.

DAILY POST reports that some political observers say the
failure of INEC’s technology in the last general election continues to erode
public confidence.

Yesufu’s remarks have since drawn reactions from users on
social media.

are we being prepped to expect chaos at the polls?”

Another X user, Alao Adeyemi@alaoadeyemi66wtote: “Nigerians
should forget anything about 2027 elections. If I have my way, i’ll have
advised everyone to sit at home during the next rounds of national elections.
Events from now till then will show us clearly that one individual who is bound
be the winner whether we vote or not.”
