The Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, has dismissed media reports that the Federal Government through ONSA has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to work with internet service providers to shut down internet access during the election.

It reiterated that it was non-partisan and committed to ensuring that Nigerians freely exercise their civic rights during the forthcoming general elections also maintaining that it remained committed to protecting the rights of the public to access Information and Communication Technology facilities.

A statement issued by the spokesman of the ONSA, Mr Danjuma Reuben, on Friday, said; “The office wishes to advise the general public to disregard the allegation, which is a disinformation.

If they can illegally remove the head of an arm of government, then shutting down the internet is just a peanut. Desperation at it's peak. These apprentice apc still want to hang on to power at all cost Forgetting that there is limit to every endurance. anarchy is looming. let them try it.

My problem is not even about shutting down internet or not... My problem is the fact that some people will sell the next four years of their lives(their votes) for just #5000 on election day.

I know that Glo is a bad network but if on that day, I try other networks and I still can't access the internet, I will record proceedings at polling units and upload it later.

2019: NSA moves to shutdown internet access for rigging purposes says Governor Wike 


Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the APC Federal Government through the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC ) to work with internet service providers to shutdown internet access  during the forthcoming elections. 


Governor Wike said that shutting down internet access by the NSA and INEC  is aimed at facilitating the rigging of the 2019 General elections. 


He spoke on Thursday during a courtesy  visit by Savannah Centre Council on Peaceful and Violence Free in Nigeria at the Government House Port Harcourt .


(Track : "The National Security Adviser has met with INEC to ensure that internet service providers shutdown the internet, so that foreign bodies won't see what's happening in the country during the elections. 


"They will jam all the frequencies and internet services to stop real time communication during the elections. 


"This  plot to rig the forthcoming elections is a recipe for violence.  They will not succeed in whatever they are planning . The world will be informed about their criminal activities ".)


The governor said that the negative actions of the Buhari administration indicate that they will not accept defeat when they lose the forthcoming elections. 


(Track)


He advised President Muhammadu Buhari to emulate Former President Goodluck Jonathan who placed Nigeria above personal consideration. 


(Track "I don't think this administration  will willingly accept  defeat. They should emulate Former President Goodluck Jonathan who lost elections and  accepted the outcome. 


"There was no litigation.  He went back home and did not generate crisis ", he said.)


Governor Wike said that Rivers people will not fold their hands and allow the APC Federal Government unleash violence and rig  the 2019 elections. 


(Track)


He regretted that the APC Federal Government has caged the Judiciary, making it difficult  to determine electoral disputes in court.


(Track)


He argued  that the conduct  of credible elections rest squarely with security agencies and INEC.  He said once the two agencies act within the law, the poĺls will be credible polls. 


(Track)


Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Founder of Savannah Centre Council on Peaceful and Violence Free in Nigeria, Prof Ibrahim Gambari called on all stakeholders  to work towards peaceful and credible polls. 


(Track)


He said that the group is involved in extensive research and consultation  to promote  peace. He noted that peace and  development  are intertwined, hence they must be encouraged. 


Gambari urged Governor Wike to use his national contacts to enhance the culture of peace.


(Track)


Former Director-General, Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), Prof Oshita Oshita urged the governor to continue  to work in the interest of peaceful polls.


(Track)
