The Commonwealth observers were in the Federal Capital Territory, Benue, Edo, Kano, Lagos, Ondo, Rivers, Sokoto States to observe the presidential and National Assembly election.

Speaking further, he said the election was largely peaceful, despite administrative and logistical hurdles at many polling units.The former South Africa president said, “We congratulate all Nigerians for their determination, patience and resilience displayed throughout the electoral process.”

He also noted an improvement with the enactment of a new Electoral Act in 2022, which gave the electoral commission more autonomy, legal backing for the use of electronic accreditation of voters and frameworks for the inclusion of people with disabilities in the elections, among other things. The Commonwealth Observer Group was constituted by the Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Rt. Hon Patricia Scotland KC, at the invitation of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission.

Before leaving Nigeria on 2 March, the group will complete its final report, setting out its recommendations, which will be submitted to the Commonwealth Secretary-General at a later stage.All rights reserved.

We don't have confidence in our judiciary sir.

Seek legal redress from legal system that is corrupt as the election process.

Grieved citizen: Let's have a peaceful protest, let's go to court; Govt: send army to give this people wotowoto. Legal redress ké

We don't trust our judiciary. Simple.

Legal redress for which country?😂😂😂😂😂please stop it if you guys are serious🙄🙄

Have they seen our courts? Have they heard their verdicts? We no get court ooo

In Nigeria or where.? Compromise judges that we have here..

This is pathway in a democratic setting. Not Theory and Practice of Anarchy as espoused by Obasanjo

In which court? Mctwweeh!

That doesn't work here Nigeria don't have legal system it's jankara market that is here nonsense

Redress? where? Supreme court that FG don't obey or where?

They own the Judiciary...

From where?

The UK is corrupt, they contributed to what we are having today.

Nothing like seek legal what ever you called it. Stop the results because it's not really results don't set Nigeria ablaze please we want peace allow the people to choose who they want

The Commonwealth didn't really observe the elections if he said it was peaceful. Everyone is just collecting bribe from Tinubu

We must to address it now

Commonwealth pls don't tell us to seek legal redress. It doesn't work here.

Legal redress? The installed a new chief in the supreme court before the electoral process even started. One Yoruba bigot like that. They have everything well planned out. You can't beat them at the court

Legal redress in a country where apex court made a 4th position 1st automatically and nothing happened. Commonwealth pls if you has any other advice please give but legal redress is a pipe-dream.

He said the election is largely peaceful. Miracle no they tire Jesus
