 "notes": "National figures are primary: INEC's own Report of the 2023 General Election, Annexure 2, which reproduces the 1 March 2023 declaration. The INEC report has NO state-by-state presidential table (Annexures 1-7 and the text were checked). The state rows are secondary. Stears is the only source found whose four party columns AND state totals add up exactly to INEC's national figures (APC 8,794,726; PDP 6,984,520; LP 6,101,533; NNPP 1,496,687; totalValid 24,025,940). Differences from the national totals in the other tables: TheNigeriaLawyer APC +11,109, LP +99, NNPP +15,000, PDP -100,010; Legit.ng APC +10,929, LP -2,944, PDP 0, NNPP 0; Wikipedia APC +10,694, PDP -4,230, LP -10,516, NNPP -16. totalValid = total valid votes per state from Stears. Per-state registered, accredited and rejected figures were not collected. Not checked: IReV EC8D/EC8E form images, the PEPC judgment (Sept 2023), and Vanguard's 'results by states' page (blocked, 403). Unresolved: Kano APC 506,412 vs 517,341 (see conflicts)."
