“We take note of the opposition’s perspective on the election’s results as well as the worries civil society and observer missions have about how the process is being organised, which has been plagued by delays and technological difficulties.

“We urge the authorities to carefully consider every complaint and take steps to address outstanding problems with enforcing the decision of the Nigerian people,” they said.
