he Chairperson of the Commonwealth Observer Group and former President of South Africa, His Excellency Thabo Mbeki, has urged aggrieved political candidates to seek legal redress.

The Commonwealth observers were in the Federal Capital Territory, Benue, Edo, Kano, Lagos, Ondo, Rivers and Sokoto states to observe the presidential and National Assembly election.
They observed the accreditation, voting, counting and results aggregation.
Mbeki encouraged citizens to exercise patience and allow the Independent National Electoral Commission to conclude the results process peacefully.
Mbeki noted, “We call on all those with grievances to address disputes through prescribed legal channels.
“The time now is for restraint and continued patience as we await the final results.”
Speaking further, he said the election was largely peaceful, despite administrative and logistical hurdles at many polling units.
He also commended the commitment and patience by registered voters.
