Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has alleged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) sold the presidential election to the highest bidder and its Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, should be held responsible for the purported malpractice that marred the electoral process.

Naija News reports that during the collation of the presidential results in Abuja, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) alleged electoral fraud over discrepancies in the figures announced.

After collation, INEC announced the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as the winner of Saturday’s election and Nigeria’s President-elect.

Reacting, Kanayo O. Kanayo urged Nigerians to question the INEC Chairman on his failure to transmit results from the polling booth and the reason for compromising his earlier decision.

According to him, INEC deceived many Nigerians and sold the election to the highest bidder and those who lost should approach the court.

Taking a swipe at Nigerian professors, the veteran actor said they have lost his respect because they connived in messing with the country.

He said: “We must hold accountable the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu for promising to transmit results from the polling booth, so we need to ask him at what point did he change his mind and compromised.

“It’s not about Peter Obi or any candidate winning but doing the right thing. INEC do not allow Nigerians to engulf themselves by doing the right thing. INEC chairman and Commissioners have compromised; they sold shame to me in the marketplace, you deceived us.

“They sold the election to the highest bidder so that those who lost would go to court and start another process.

“And today, I declare that anybody with that rag of Professorship has lost respect because they now come together, despite being the country’s best brains, are gathering to mess up the giant of Africa. We must not let this happen.”
