You disingenuously elected to omit the most recent example in Lokoja HOR supplementary election when INEC who should be ashamed of themselves rode roughshod against propriety and the rule of law to declare an APC the winner of the election.


It was glaring that even the concocted margin of victory fell clearly shot of the number of cancelled votes.

Prof Mahmud Yakubu has no integrity and as such should resign forthwith.

Buhari cowardly appointed his kinsman to smoothen APC's sundry electoral heist...

It is trite to state that the APC cannot win in any free and fair election in contemporary Nigeria...

Were you in Osun to know what exactly happened? You think if they really wanted to declare APC the winner, they wouldn't have done that instead of going for a rerun in PDP strongholds?

You just like making noise, a pseudo intellectual full of nothingness. INEC has stated their reasons clearly which is in accordance with their guidelines so whats the fuss? The result will be easily thrown out in a court if they had done otherwise besides its the logical thing to do.

The results that were turn that you are referring to was for Ayedaade LGA where PDP claimed they should have had a thousand more votes, add the 1k to 353, thats 1,353 which is still less than the 3k plus cancelled votes, either way thre would still be a rerun.

Use you brain and stop writing to suit your bias.

Let us take a look at examples of these inconclusive elections.

Case Number (1)
IMO GUBER ELECTIONS 2015
Okorocha( APGA) —-385,671
Ihedioha( PDP) ——-306,142
Margin———79,529
Cancelled votes——-144,715

From the above, it is evident that the margin or victory was lower than the cancelled votes, a number that is enough to alter the balance. The Commission under Professor Attahiru Jega did the needful and promptly declared the elections inconclusive. Take note that my party, the ruling party then hailed the decision and applauded the decision of the INEC, calling it a “patriotic and sound decision “. Of course,APGA kicked against it.A re-run election was scheduled which APGA won.Recall that a similar situation had happened in 2011 in the same IMO between Okorocha and Ikedi Ohakim where INEC had declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards.


Case Number (2)
ANAMBRA SENATORIAL ELECTION 2011
Dora Akunyili( APGA) ——-66,273
Chris Ngige ( ACN) ——65,576
Margin —697

INEC declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards with a voting population that was higher than the margin of victory.


Case Number (3)
KOGI GUBER ELECTION 2015
Abubakar Audu( APC) —-240,867
Wada Idris ( PDP) —199,514
Margin —————41,353
Cancelled votes ———49,953

Again, the margin here was less than the cancellations and was rightly declared inconclusive by Professor Mahmood Yakubu led INEC. The point to note here was that the APC was by this time the ruling party and clearly had a huge lead but Yakubu still refused to budge under pressure by the ruling party to announce it as winner. My party the PDP applauded it.


CASE NUMBER (4)
BAYELSA GUBER ELECTIONS 2015
Dickson ( PDP) ——-105,748
Sylva ( APC)——72,594
Margin ——-33,154
In the case of Bayelsa, a contraption of an election had taken place in Southern Ijaw which had Sylva winning the entire 120,000 votes in that area, but this much maligned Yakubu refused to accept it , declared it inconclusive and ordered a re-run for the number of registered voters were clearly more than the margin of victory. The PDP received this news well and celebrated it.

CASE NUMBER (5)
ANAMBRA GUBER ELECTION 2013
Obiano ( APGA) —174,710
Tony Nwoye ( PDP) —-94,956
Margin——-79,754
Cancelled votes——-113,113
Again the Commission under Jega declared it inconclusive and the PDP celebrated it as a bold move.

I have taken time to outline these numbers to show that even where the margins were wide, and when logic will suggest that the lead would be insurmountable, so long as it is mathematically possible for someone from a losing position to win an election, it was incumbent on the Umpire NOT to declare a winner.

A few hours ago, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the Osun State Governorship elections inconclusive. This bold action has triggered all manners of verbal umbrage against the elections Umpire but particularly,the Head of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.Conspiracy theorists have latched upon this action to vent their anger on a man whose only “sin” was that he was appointed by the current president.But before delving into the Incredulity of judging a man’s character and competence for job through the lenses of his appointing authority,let us dispassionately examine today’s action by the EMB and try to anchor its legality or otherwise against the provisions of the statutes that undergird elections in our land.

First, the Constitution and the Electoral Act made it mandatory on INEC to conduct free, fair and credible elections. To achieve this, the voter is key. His/her vote must count. Protecting the sanctity of the vote is crucial. The entire electoral legal framework is intended to achieve this objective. Responsibilities are assigned, processes and procedures defined and sanctions prescribed all with the intention of achieving that objective.

Specifically Section 153 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) empowers the Commission, in pursuit of the provisions of the Act, to "issue regulations, guidelines, or manuals for the purpose of giving affect to the provisions of this Act and for its administration thereof". Accordingly, INEC has made guidelines and regulations to protect the sanctity of the vote in instances where the processes are disrupted to disenfranchise voters. It is common knowledge that politicians have hijacked ballot papers, chased away voters and disrupted processes and procedures in order to gain unfair advantage.

That is why INEC formulated guidelines and regulations to the effect that where voters are disenfranchised on account of someone's disruptive action, INEC gives such voters another opportunity to vote where their number will make a difference to the outcome of the election. The Commission has been applying this regulation in several elections. So there is nothing new here. This was applied in Governorship elections in Imo (2011 and 2015), Anambra (2013), Taraba (2015), Kogi ,Bayelsa (2015) etc.

You're trying too hard to make any sense.

Why are you this frustrated in life?

maestroferdi:
I hope you can live with me when I start administering insults as you are doing above....

In any case, I can make sense out of the indulgent inaccuracies you want less discerning people to believe..

What is as clear as day is that APC have irredeemably lost the election.

Adeleke thrashed APC in Ijeshaland where Ogbeni hails from...Gentlemen who respect sportsmanship would have capitulated with the nature of defeat..

We are not deceived by the petty schemes of INEC and their APC collaborators.

Can you explain why Osogbo results were delayed only to be ostensibly padded to procure an inconclusive election?

You guys are insufferable, simple...

They must have forgotten especially that Kogi part. I am neither an APC nor PDP but I like politics play with pure mind and buried self interest to account for the electorates who voted you in..

My gawd!!! Is it that you can’t read? Jeez!!!

The write-up by that gentleman is logically unassailable and legally sound. Only paid e-rats of politicians (who lack a brain of their own anyway and are somehow so many on this platform) will not see sense in a balanced analysis such as this.

I don't know which is more difficult to process... The reality that Nigerians have roundly rejected APC and the misery and retardation it connotes or the pragmatism that the decision to reverse back from the wrong road should not be affected by the distance covered on it.
