Breaking News! Akwa Ibom State Is Boiling by itocoonlin(m): 8:50am On Jun 22, 2011 |
Breaking News!!! Election Tribunal in Akwa Ibom State: Update! Sources have confirmed that the much awaited Forensic Machines arrived Akwa Ibom State a few days ago from wherever they were imported. Today (June, 21, 2011), based on arrangements previously agreed upon between ACN and INEC, which was ordered by the Tribunal, the forensic scientists and the ACN lawyers went to INEC office in Uyo to test the ballot papers in order to determine the accuracies and veracities of all the thumbs-prints that INEC and PDP claimed to have come from the voters of Godswill Akpabio during the April 26, 2011, gubernatorial election. When the ACN lawyers and the Forensic Scientists entered the office of INEC, INEC officials told them that ballot papers were not available--officials denied the agency's possession of the materials. On enquiries as to where the papers could be located, INEC told them to go to each of the Local Government Area Headquarters for retrieval of the materials. It could be recalled that since the month of May, 2011, when INEC and PDP knew about the intention of Senator Akpan Udoedehe and the ACN to file petitions with the Election Tribunal to challenge the outcome of the April 26, 2011 gubernatorial election, INEC and PDP have been busy forging documents in preparation as evidence to counter the challenge. It could also be recalled that INEC and PDP claimed that the total number of votes for Akpabio was over 900,000. The purpose of using the forensic machines to read the thumb prints is to verify if all the more than 900,000 votes were genuine and were actually from those who had previously been registered and considered eligible to vote in Akwa Ibom State. Such findings would dispel the speculations among Akwa Ibom people and claims by the opposition that Godswill Akpabio and the PDP in Akwa Ibom State had fronted minors to cast votes and in some Local Government Areas (if not in all of them), there were, and still are, strongly held suspicions that some voters voted several times, thereby inflating the number of votes for Akpabio. All the analysts and observers contacted have concluded that for INEC officials to claim that the agency has none of the demanded documents in its custody is a sign that they (the officials) have not completed forging the documents. Therefore, official's denial that the materials are not in the custody of the agency is nothing but a delaying tactics. Reports say when ACN lawyers filed a complaint to the Tribunal regarding the refusal of INEC to release the court- mandated material, the Tribunal Judges issued a statement, which says that they cannot force INEC to produce documents it claims not to have, but in the absence of such documents, INEC must sign "Not Available, or simply N/ A" for each forms or for any of the requested documents. The implication is that if INEC refuses to produce the mandated documents for the opposition to use as it sees fit in a court of law, then the court will not have a choice but to issue its ruling based on the evidence presented by the ACN. Such evidence, which sources say ACN has in its possession, include "doctored" voting materials, videos and still- pictures featuring rigging, and other evidence yet to be presented to and explained at the Tribunal. Another developing story is that the 22-man panel set up by President Jonathan to examine the cause or causes of election violence in Akwa Ibom State has commenced its work. Today, the panel is said to have visited Ikot Ekpene to gather evidence. It may sit in Uyo by tomorrow, June 22, 2011. Written by Thompson Essien The Voice of the Poor |
