New York[RR]Abuja–According to CNN,
Nigeria’s incumbent President Goodluck
Jonathan looked likely Sunday to win the
election, a CNN tally of preliminary
results showed. It said Jonathan is
leading with 19Million votes, against
Buhari’s 9Million votes in 28 of 36 States
& FCT, Abuja Capital territory–CNN
added.
The Independent National Electoral
Commission posted on its website the
count from 28 of the country’s 36 states
and its capital, showing Jonathan with
more than 19 million votes, compared to
his main challenger — Muhammadu
Buhari — who had close to 9 million
votes.
Continuing CNN said, ‘A formal
announcement of the results could come
as early as Monday. To avoid a runoff,
Jonathan must get at least a quarter of
the vote in two-thirds of the 36 states
and the capital. Nigerians voted
Saturday for their president, a week
after parliamentary elections were
marred by violence and accusations of
fraud in Africa’s most populous
nation..”, CNN reported.
Meanwhile, Text Of A Press Conference
culled by the Director Of Media And
Publicity, Pdp Presidential Campaign
Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode, On
Sunday, March 29, 2015, rebuked APC’s
dangerous propaganda machines in the
social media who were trying to heat up
the body polity and kick off chaos across
if the elections didn’t favor Mohammadu
Buhari and his supporters.
His words: “We are deeply concerned by
the level of disinformation and falsehood
that is being peddled around by the
friends of the opposition in the media
and particularly their paid agents and
associates on the social media about the
results of Saturdays elections.
‘Since yesterday afternoon they have
been releasing fake results and they
have been attempting to mislead the
Nigerian people and our friends in the
international community. The public
have been inundated with lie after lie
about the APC’s so-called victories in
virtually every single polling booth,
ward, local government area and state in
the country. This is not only nonsensical
but it is also far-fetched, absurd and
childish.
“Two opposition media houses and their
associates in the social media went as far
as to shamelessly claim that President
Goodluck Jonathan lost in my polling
unit and in my ward in Ile-Ife, when in
actual fact the President not only won in
my polling booth and ward but he also
won in virtually every other ward in the
four local government areas of Ile Ife in
Osun state where I come from.
“The dirty lies that these two media
houses have told is just one example of
the gross and irresponsible mendacities
and falsehood that the agents and
associates of the APC habitually enjoy
peddling. As we have always said, they
are a party of liars that are led and
inspired by a small cabalistic cult of
shameful deceivers, liars and cheap
propaganda merchants. In them there is
no truth and lying is their second nature
and natural habitat.
“The APC, through their agents in the
media, also indulged in many other
fanciful and vain mendacities about
many other PDP leaders. For example
they claimed that Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro who is presently the
Honorable Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs, Senator Iyiola Omisore, the
leader of our party in Osun state,
Governor Olusegun Mimiko, the
Governor of Ondo state, Senator David
Mark, the Senate President, and so many
other of our highly esteemed and
respected leaders also lost their polling
units and wards to General Muhammadu
Buhari and the APC candidates for the
various elections.
Needless to say these claims by the APC
are not only false but they are also
absurd and nauseating. Such
mendacities are indicative of the fact
that they have lost touch with reality as
we have always suspected. As a matter of
fact we are surprised that they didn’t
claim that the President himself also lost
in his polling unit and ward and that he
in fact voted for Buhari rather than for
himself. Such is their level of depravity
and deceit that they will manufacture
any lie and assert any falsehood just to
gain an edge and feed their vain
delusions.
The lies they have told about the so-
called victory of Buhari in Ile Ife, Osun
state is particularly distasteful because
not only has Jonathan appeared to have
won in Ile-Ife but our PDP candidate for
the Federal House of Representatives in
that constituency, Mr. Albert Adeogun,
appears to have won the election hands
down and defeated Mr. Rotimi Makinde
of the APC, who is the sitting member of
the Federal House of Representatives.
Our candidate for the House of
Representatives in Ilesa in the same
senatorial district, Mr. Wole Oke,
appears to have won his election as well
which is another major blow for the APC
in Osun state.
Instead of acknowledging these
monumental and devastating losses of
some of their leading members, the APC,
in their habitual manner simply
continue to bury their small heads in the
ground like the proverbial ostrich, live in
denial and peddle lies and falsehood. It
is time that they were called to order.
The lies of the APC must be ignored and
treated with the contempt and disdain
that they deserve.
The reports that we are getting from the
field is that our candidate is doing very
well in the south and north central and
that we are making very strong inroads
into various states in the core north. The
motive for the lies and disinformation of
the APC is to create high expectations for
their supporters so that when the real
results come out and they are announced
by INEC, and when those real results do
not tally with the fake results that the
APC have told their agents and friends to
release, they will begin to run riot,
create havoc and kill people.
This is irresponsible and dangerous and
we hereby warn the APC and their
agents in the media to stop spreading
falsehood and telling dangerous lies. We
also call on the security agencies to be
vigilant because when the truth of their
defeat finally dawns on them the APC
and Buhari will not take it very lightly.
We should all patiently wait for INEC to
release the official results of all the
elections and until then we call on our
supporters and party members to hold
their heads up high, to remain confident
and strong and to hold their peace.
Though it is undoubtedly a close race we
at the PDPCO are cautiously confident
and we are very optimistic of total
victory despite the desperation, lies and
disinformation of the APC. At the end of
the day we have no doubt that President
Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP shall
prevail.
We are constrained to conclude this
short briefing by commenting on two
issues that are also a matter of grave
concern to us. First of all it has been
brought to our attention that hundreds of
thousands of underage voters were
allowed to vote by INEC officials in many
parts of the north during saturdays
elections.
The pictures of these underage voters,
who are APC supporters and many of
whom are not even Nigerians but were
drafted across our northern borders just
to vote, are all over the internet. These
pictures show the children actually
giving their thumb prints and voting in
the elections on saturday. This is
unacceptable to us and it needs to be
explained by INEC. We await further
clarification from them about it and
failing that we shall revisit the issue in a
very forceful and precise manner at a
later stage.
The other area that needs clarification
and an explanation from INEC and
which gives us deep concern is the
situation that we have found ourselves in
when it comes to the issue of card
readers. We warned about this right
from the outset and we expressed our
reservations about their usage but we
were ignored and even criticised by
many at the time for doing so. With the
shameful and abysmal performance of
the card readers during saturdays polls
we believe that we have been vindicated
and that our earlier concerns have
proved to be legitimate and valid. Sadly
the damage that the failure of the card
readers has caused to the fortunes of our
supporters and party is immense.
Many of our supporters were
disenfranchised and were unable to get
accreditation or to vote as a consequence
of the card reader situation and it is
curious that most of the problems
associated with card readers only took
place in areas and states that are the
traditional strogholds of President
Jonathan and the PDP. Was this a mere
coincidence or was it contrived? That is
the million dollar question. We shall
speak more about this and other matters
after the final results have been
announced by INEC. Until then we shall
hold our peace.
We use this medium to call on our
friends in the social media, the party
faithful and all President Goodluck
Joanthan Support Groups not to remain
silent in the face of these shenanigans.
They should speak out on what they
know about the propaganda and
falsehood of the opposition APC. They
should not be intimidated at all by the
opposition’s desperate and reprehensible
antics. They should set the record
straight and not allow themselves to be
robbed of a well-earned victory.
As we speak now, we are winning in 23
states and we have 64 percent while the
APC is winning in 14 states and has 36
percent. These results are subject to
confirmation by the Independent
National Electoral Commission.
However, we are certain of what we are
saying because we have information
from our agents in every polling unit
nationwide. No one must test our will by
attempting to change these results and
the APC should desist from pushing this
nation to the brink of fire, chaos and
destruction with their dirty lies and
propaganda. www.medianigeria.com/75132/jonathan-leading-with-19million-votes-against-buharis-9million-votes/
