Meanwhile, the presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration should be commended for the remarkable improvement in the conduct of elections in the country instead of vilification.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has come under heavy attack over the alleged irregularities occasioned by the delay in uploading the Pulling Units results from the BVAS to the iREV immediately after collation.

But the Presidency has frowned at the position taken by the international media, saying that the world had been treated to epic lies and hate, and told by global media to expect a different outcome.
