Akeredolu who spoke while playing host to the retiring Resident Electoral Commissioner in the State, Mr Rufus Akeju disclosed that based on his experience, he can authoritatively say it is difficult to rig an election.

He however added that the introduction of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) by INEC has made rigging more difficult.
