Victor Vishnay, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Alternative Party, has called for the cancellation of the inauguration of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

A report by Thisday indicates that Vishnay alleged that the electoral process that produced Tinubu as the president-elect was characterised by many irregularities and fraud.

Legit.ng gathers that he made the call in Abuja on Saturday, May 13, during a press briefing.

Vishnay also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to cancel the 2023 polls on the grounds that the elections that did not meet acceptable international standards.

“I enjoin Nigerians to call on the president to cancel the 2023 general election, especially the presidential election because of corrupt practices.

“We need change, real change, the fight for a better Nigeria starts with the cancellation of the election. It was not free and fair," Vishnay was quoted as saying.

Vishnay said President Buhari can hand over to his deputy or set up a committee to manage the country upon his exit on May 29.

“So, the only way out is for the president to cancel the election; he should give reasons for the cancellation and step aside. The Vice President can take over or he will set up a committee to manage the country after his exit," he said.

He also accused President Buhari of influencing the outcome of the February 25 presidential election by displaying his ballot paper shortly after casting his vote to show that he voted for Tinubu.
