International observers said that the vote " fell well short of Nigerian citizens' legitimate and reasonable expectations" after polling stations opened late or did not open at all, and an electronic system for transmitting results did not work.

国际观察人士表示，投票结果“远低于尼日利亚公民合法合理的期望”，此前，投票站开放时间晚，或压根没有开放，而且传输结果的电子系统也无法工作。
