Published

on

*An Independent Review of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) iREV’s portal commissioned by Reportera News has exposed the extensive electoral fraud that occured in the last presidential election.

*The February 25th 2023 presidential election has been described by Nigerian citizens, political commentators, & International Observers as the worst election in the nation’s history.

* It’s 2 months after the flawed polls, more evidence have been outpouring to further expose the travesty that was administered to Nigerians by INEC’s Huncho, Professor Mahmood Yakubu in the guise of an election.

*The European Union (EU) and other foreign observers scored the election below par.

Most Nigerians Feel Peter Obi Won The Election.

Nigerians woke up to the News of the declaration of APC’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the flawed polls, thus returned ‘president-elect’, a decision largely seen as controversial, with many calling for the annulment of the decision because of the irregularities and inconsistencies of the election results uploaded on their results portal, iREV. The former Lagos governor was clandestinely declared winner by 4:03am when most Nigerians would have been asleep, an action that has called for the arrest and prosecution of the INEC boss who failed to follow the guidelines established by the newly reformed Electoral Act of 2022.

Reportera News commissioned an Independent Review of the iREV portal immediately after the polls amidst heavy criticisms from voters across the country over the inconsistencies in the results as a significant sum of the results varied greatly from what was announced at the various Polling Units, this is apart from the many recorded incidents of violence and voter suppression against a particular political party. We reviewed the results of the 36 states & the FCT for the presidential election and found out that the outcome of this election would have been totally different had INEC followed due process.

Prof Mahmood Yakubu, INEC Chairman.

Something interesting was discovered by our researchers within minutes of analysing the data on the portal; massive incidents of mutilated results, alteration of figures, and reallocation of votes from Labour Party (LP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP), this was indeed a ‘sight not to behold’. Our analysts swung into action using every available means to decrypt and obtain the correct & original figures on the sheets before they were mutilated, after which they were collated. The major beneficiary of this scheme is the ruling party, APC which in one particular incident allocated as much as over 60% of LP’s votes to themselves. The victims; Peter Obi and LP were stripped of victory in 4 states which would have brought the total number of states they won to 16, not 12 initially announced by INEC.

In addition to these 12 states; Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, Edo, Plateau, FCT, Delta, Crossriver, Lagos, Nasarawa, LP scored majority of the votes in Taraba, Rivers, Bayelsa, and Benue states.

Peter Obi Scored The Highest Number Of Valid Votes In 16 States.

Majority of Nigerians feel that Peter Obi won the elections, the atmosphere in the country following Tinubu’s emergence as ‘president-elect’ was that of sadness and mourning, it was enough to conclude that this wasn’t the man that the people voted for.

This is the first in a series of investigative reports conducted by Reportera News to unravel the Electoral Fraud perpetuated by INEC, subscribe and follow Reportera News on all social media platforms to keep up with this story; in the coming days & weeks, we will publish all reviewed data & figures.

The suspension stems from the recent political turmoil that engulfed the nation, with the African Union pointing to the coup orchestrated by Gen Abdourahamane Tchiani on Wednesday, July 26. As part of a series of sanctions imposed on the francophone West African country, the Republic of Niger faced the repercussions of its internal upheaval.

The African Union’s stance was uncompromising, as it made it clear that Western nations seeking to meddle in African affairs should refrain from interfering. This firm message was directed from the heart of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where the AU’s call for autonomy echoed loudly.

The events leading up to Niger’s suspension unfolded against a backdrop of political uncertainty and unrest. The coup in Niger, orchestrated by Gen Abdourahamane Tchiani, prompted the Afican Union to take action. Their decision to suspend Niger was not taken lightly and was ratified during the Peace and Security Council meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on August 22.

The aftermath of the military takeover in left President Mohamed Bazoum in captivity, held under the close watch of the juntas in Niger. Despite international pressure, the release of the president and his family remains elusive. This tense situation compelled the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to intervene, imposing sanctions on Niger and establishing a deadline for the initiation of military intervention by the sub-regional body’s standby forces.

The suspension of the Republic of Niger from the African Union serves as a stark reminder of the continent’s commitment to upholding stability and safeguarding democratic governance. The swift response underscores the African Union’s dedication to maintaining order and security within its member states, sending a resounding message to the global community about the importance of respecting Africa’s sovereignty.

Published

In a recent tweet that has caught the attention of many, @MissPearls shares an inspiring declaration made by former Anambra state governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi. According to @MissPearls, Peter Obi proclaimed, “I campaigned for Presidency because I can say it any day, I Will SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA. All these confusion everywhere can BE SOLVED, and I am PREPARED for it”

Peter Obi: I Campaigned For Presidency Because I Can Say It Any Day, I Will Solve The Problem Of Nigeria.

Peter Obi’s bid for the presidency in the recent elections stirred considerable excitement and garnered support from diverse quarters, particularly the youth demographic. The former governor is known for his progressive ideas and pragmatic approach to governance, which resonated with many Nigerians who sought change and effective solutions to the country’s myriad challenges.

Despite his extensive support and well-articulated vision, Peter Obi’s presidential ambitions faced formidable opponents in the election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released results that placed him behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who emerged as the winner, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who came second. However, these results were met with skepticism due to apparent electoral irregularities that marred the integrity of the process.

In response to the controversial election outcome, both Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar filed legal challenges against the INEC’s declaration. This move underscores their commitment to upholding the democratic process and ensuring that the voice of the electorate is accurately reflected. As the election Tribunal Judges prepare to deliver their verdict, Nigeria watches with bated breath, eager to witness justice being served.

Meanwhile, the administration of Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken significant policy actions since assuming office. The removal of fuel subsidies and the decision to float the Naira have triggered mixed reactions across the nation. While these measures may be intended to foster economic stability and growth, the immediate consequences have been felt by everyday Nigerians. The cost of living has surged, and the socio-economic effects on the rich and the poor have become more pronounced.

As the Nigerian population navigates these shifts, the aftermath of the election and the ensuing governance strategies offer a critical juncture for evaluating the nation’s trajectory. The voices of discontent, expressed by citizens facing the brunt of these policies, highlight the necessity for leaders to prioritize the well-being of the populace while pursuing economic advancements. It is essential for the government to strike a balance between fiscal prudence and safeguarding the interests of the vulnerable segments of society.

The policy changes implemented by Bola Tinubu have shed light on the delicate balance between progress and the welfare of the people. As the nation waits for the tribunal’s judgment and the dust settles on the recent election, Nigeria stands at a crossroads, with the potential to reshape its future trajectory and address the systemic challenges that have held it back for far too long.

The rally, which unfolded outside the state government house, saw impassioned youths brandishing placards with messages that underscored their commitment to justice and the integrity of the electoral process. Their actions were sparked by concerns over an alleged plan to bribe the state election petition tribunal, casting a shadow over the fairness of the process.

The ban on protests was issued in response to recent revelations made by Justice Flora Azinge, who unveiled purported schemes by lawyers to disrupt the course of justice through financial incentives. The Commissioner of Police cited “confirmatory intelligence products” as the basis for this decision, leaving a contentious atmosphere surrounding the freedom of assembly and the right to peaceful protest.

This ban, however, failed to deter the resolute youths who carried a variety of placards conveying their strong stance against corruption, manipulation, and injustice. The slogans they chanted resonated with their determination to safeguard the sanctity of the electoral process and uphold transparency in governance.

Among the messages displayed, one placard caught the eye with its direct callout: “Gandollar, stop spoiling the name of Tinubu.” This highlights the allegation that financial impropriety is tainting the reputation of key political figures.

In a video circulated online, the enthusiastic protesters chanted slogans that echoed their deep-seated concerns. Chants of “No to corruption,” “No to injustice,” and “No to manipulation” reverberated through the crowd, embodying the youth’s unwavering commitment to fair and accountable governance.

Addressing the gathering, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf praised the peaceful conduct of the protesters and assured them that their concerns would be relayed to President Bola Tinubu. This gesture recognizes the role of the youth in shaping political discourse and underscores the importance of their voices in the pursuit of a just society.

In conclusion, the youths in Kano have seized the moment to voice their concerns and demands for an unbiased electoral process. Their defiance of the police ban serves as a reminder that public sentiment cannot be easily suppressed. As this incident unfolds, it raises important questions about the delicate balance between freedom of assembly, legitimate protest, and maintaining public order. It also underscores the critical role of the youth in shaping the political landscape and demanding accountability from their leaders.
