According to Daily Trust the politicians are said to be firming up the plot as a last ditch plan should the INEC chairman fails to accede to their demands regarding the conduct of the elections.

According to the newspaper, sources claimed that political actors believed the elections would be difficult to manipulate under the current circumstances.
The three “unwanted” elements about the elections which the politicians wanted expunged include:
- The use of BVAS for accreditation of voters
- Cancelation of the use of incident forms
- Electronic transmission of election results
BVAS, introduced by INEC to replace the smart card reader used in the 2019 elections, is a biometric system that recognises voters based on their finger prints or faces.
An INEC insider said:
“The BVAS is very advanced. It’s different from the smart card reader in many ways. If it cannot capture your fingers, it can capture your face, and there is no excuse for not using it.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that the director of special media projects and operation and new media of the Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign council, Femi Fani-Kayode, has lambasted Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Fani-Kayode, in his proposition, said that the Labour Party flagbearer would come fourth in the 2023 presidential elections, saying that the poll is for the 'big boys'.
FFK, as he is fondly called, alleged that Peter Obi ignores presidential spokespersons because he is mannerless dunce.
