INEC Osun Template Busted by the US

Nigerians should be grateful to the US for saving our democracy today. This is why APC got frustrated about the US, UK & EU interference at one point and threatened “body bags” becos they know, “America would know”

We are a sovereign state, agreed, but there was nothing Nigerians would have done tonight to prevent Mohammadu Buhari from rigging this election if not for the intervention of the United States of America. They deserve some accolades. #NigeriaDecides
The Buhari government in collaboration with INEC had an agenda on how to rig the election in favor of Buhari. This was what they were planning to execute tonight with the postponement drama when the United States govt got a wind of it and called the INEC Chairman not to dare!
