A trailer said to be carrying ballot boxes stuffed with thumprinted ballot papers allegedly in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the presidential and National Assembly elections was intercepted by soldiers in Kaduna yesterday.

The vehicle, with registration number AA 765 FKA, was parked in the premises of the 1 Division of the Nigerian Army (1 DIV), Kawo, Kaduna, Kaduna State.

I guess we all know who the president is already , why waste our money in conducting an election that is rigged

Befroe nko? What were you expecting?

P D P lacks finesse, the way they going about stealing mandates the court will get them soon. Nigerians apathy to this issue bother me

How come only the AC were able to see the contents of the so called ballot papers? Even journalists in teh barracks have not seen it, AC is just playing on the scepticism of the people

Thank you and there wasn't any definitive proof so link the so call ballot boxes to PDP. This parties are playing dirty mind game with the people.

[color=#000099][/color]its just terrible what we do here in our country. definatly those balot boxes are meant for something they never fell from heaven. na wa for nigeria oh PDP no go kill us oh!

I seriously don't think it belong to PDP. common sense it it belong to PDP and the governor of that state and the chief executive officer would have made the appropriate calls to get it under the carpet. This story wont be publicize if it belong to PDP. This is just one act of deceit the politicians are using to gain grounds.

Why should any one haul things like that, this whole thing is messed up.

HMMMMMMM I GUES THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER! NEVER!! BE IN GOOD CONDITION AGAIN WITH THE LEVEL OF ALL KIND OF CORRUPT ACTIVITIES THAT WAS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY, CAN SOMEONE BELEIVE IN MY VIEW??
JIMIYKE

It will be interesting to see if anything come out of the investigation.  Damn we still can't find any evidence to show that IBB is corrupt

No one commits a crime with intent of being caught, so to assume PDP does not own those thump printed paper is been economic with the truth. THE world is looking at us.

JIMIYKE
          WETIN U DEY DO HERE WHEN U DON CONCLUD SAY THINGS NO GO BETTER AGAIN
                      DOUBTIN THOMAS LIKE U
                                ME AM SURE SAY THINS GO BETTER

if the world is looking at us nko?.dat is why u dey pass jugdement witout investigation or trial?

If its legitimate and since they have the culprits they should be jail for life for this crime. I hope they get the godfather or who is the sponsor.

Frankly no one knows the truth, we have seen all sorts of desperation in this country in the run up to this election. We have even seen people incite Naija delta youths against a Government they are part of. So you never can tell who is behind all these

It could be the PDP trying to rig, it could also be the opposition trying to blackmail the PDP. No one knows.
Some have told us today that they are only taking part in the election so that they are able to inititiate a legal proceeding against the election. They even pointed out that they hope that they are able to gather much facts and proofs of irregularities to back up their case.

So you never know, as much as it could be a PDP rigging it could as well be a blackmail.

But the truth of the matter is, Elite politicians as a whole (Ruling party and opposition inclusive) should be ashamed of themselves for their desperation. Not even Clinton will give Nigeria a free and fair election in this sort of atmosphere. People are just so ambitious and desperate, no single regard for the people's interest.
They should bury their heads in shame.

where are the sharia neck striking forces when you need them!

When wil you guys be tired of these conspiracy theories?

From today's Punch:
There were no ballot boxes in the lorry. Just Taliban reinforcements with their weapons. They've been handed over to security agencies.
Says a lot about the much hyped thumbprinted ballot papers that AC wanted us to believe.

Atiku and AC's propaganda.

If the army actually intercepted ballot boxes, it's an indication that OBJ isn't directly involved in all the rigging going on. The rigging is obvious though, anybody on the ground has seen it!. . .The rigging is an insult to our intellect because it is overt, no attempt to hide or mask it and truly, it will backfire on PDP.
