The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Saturday’s Presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has raised the alarm that the Managing Director of Activate Technologies Limited, Mohammed Sani Musa , whose company supplied the machines used in printing the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Niger East Senatorial district for tomorrow’s poll.

In a press statement issued on Friday in Abuja by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Atiku stated that the revelation is a result of his team’s extensive intelligence gathering network to identify and prevent the ruling party from rigging the election.

The statement said, “It is public knowledge that Sani Musa, popularly known as Sani 313 is a card carrying member of the APC and a close associate of several stalwarts of the party, including President Muhammadu Buhari who apparently pushed his nomination. But shockingly, the APC Senatorial candidate for Zone B of Niger State,Mr. Mohammed Musa, has a contract with INEC to supply key voting materials in an election he is participating in, which is a clear conflict of interest and raises questions of probity and oversight in the issuing of INEC contracts.”

“The INEC contract was to ‘upgrade’ the card readers and to print PVC cards. Further investigations have shown that the ‘upgrade’ consisted of pre-programming the card readers to accept fake replica PVCs (copies of genuine PVCs) that the firm printed in Nigeria. These two activities were undertaken so that the APC could boost its vote tally in its strongholds or force votes in Polling Units at PDP strongholds to be null and void by over-voting .

“Our investigation also identified the seven States where this activity was due to take place and we have therefore informed the Observer Community and our own extensive network of over 176,000 Party Agents so that they can forestall this activity by checking cards as allowed under INEC guidelines.

“Given that that Mr.s Musa’s previous company, Act Technologies, had a contract to supply and install PVC card printers in the INEC Headquarters, it does beg the question why Mr Musa’s new company, Activate Technologies, was given a subsequent contract to print PVC cards itself?

“Other investigations have revealed that an employee and Director of Activate Technologies and an APC member, Mr. Mohammed Keffi, was filmed at Abuja Airport Domestic Departure Lounge on 29th December opening an official INEC envelope and then handling multiple ballot forms which he was checking off against his mobile phone. Sources also confirmed that this person was one of the people who was loading the fake card numbers into the ‘upgraded’ card readers in the Residence of the former Governor of Akwa Ibom, as well as other ‘Card Reader Farms’ in Abuja and Kano. These ‘farms’ are under guard by members of Government Security agencies.”

“The PDP Presidential Candidate said while Alhaji Sani Musa has the right to hold any public office in spite of his line of business, it is morally unjustifiable to allow a well-known supplier of sensitive INEC materials to partake in an election in which the key materials to be used for the poll were supplied by him.

“A search at the Corporate Affairs Commission showed that most of the directors in Act Technologies are the same as those in Activate Technologies.The directors of Activate Technologies except Musa (now APC candidate) include: Abubakar Musa, Kabiru Abdullahi Bawa, Suleiman Danladi, Akinsuyi Akin Najeem. Activate Technologies located on Ganges Street, Maitama, learnt that is shares the same address as Act Technologies.”

He lamented that Activate Technologies was given contracts by INEC to supply PVCs for the 2019 general elections in spite of the fact that the owner of the firm is a candidate in tomorrow’s poll.

“A copy of one of many such contracts with reference number INEC/HQ/PROC/ICT/S106/1 dated October 4, 2017 and signed by the Secretary to INEC, Augusta Ogakwu, stated that the firm would need to print 112, 218 PVCs, ” Atiku said.

“Mr Musa had attempted to hide his ownership via proxy shareholders who have been revealed as members of his own family. However his position as Founder and MD of Activate Technology Limited was clumsily exposed to the world via his Linked-in page where he bragged about his firm to secure more business for it. The expression “Pride cometh before a fall” comes to mind and is a suitable epitaph for the arrogant and brazen people who form this failed government.”

“Our candidate and the Party has conducted extensive research into what the APC will be attempting to do to shore up their collapsed vote share in these elections having studied what we call the “Osun Playbook”. We have been able to implement extensive preventative measures to pre-empt their plans. So the Nigerian public can go out and vote confident in the knowledge that their vote will count”. “Our candidate has said on record that “even if you do not vote for me, please go out and vote as this election is not about me, it is about Nigeria and your future.”

“So we would like to ask General Buhari, the self-declared “reformed democrat” whether what happened in Osun was an exception to his promise or his definition of what ‘free and fair’ means?

“We believe that on the basis of what we have exposed here today the Nigerian public can make up their own minds about this question and demonstrate their views at the polls tomorrow, secure in the knowledge that their votes will count.”

Only God will help us in this country .

Any plan to rig the elections will be met with stiff resistance by NIGERIANS and INTERNATIONAL community

He is laying the ground for rejecting the results.

The card reading devices should be tested with a double fingerprints to find out if they have been compromised.It was also discovered that the kogi state governor registered twice.Up till now the gov has not been prosecuted.

PDP will never accept the result as long as it doesn't favour them, no matter how free and fair.

Atiku technically conceding defeat.

You have a tyrant in power expect that. Reason they went after CJN

Nigerians vote must count tomorrow.

I used to be a die-hard APC member. Buhari being my brother is certainly a contributing factor. After assessing the performance of his administration, however, it is clear enough that he has failed.
Like his wife, I hereby withdraw my support for him. I also urge whoever still want the good of this country to help in voting out Buhari.
Thank you.Congratulations to Atiku!
Congratulations to Nigerians!
The defeat of Buhari has taught future leaders a lesson that you can't take Nigerians for a ride, insult some regions, spread poverty, refuse to disclose your ailment for which treatment is paid for by Nigerians, insult their youths whenever you travel abroad and still get rewarded with Nigerian votes.
Nigerians have taken back their power. Congrats once again to Nigerians.

Even with Kanu calling off boycott, number still not adding up, desperation yaff enter the matter now.

NaijaMutant:
Osinbajo just called me with the below number, telling me all manner of bullshits and begging me to vote buhari


I just told him to fvck off

I am Atikulated

You said fvck off to an automated call wheras in real life he doesn't give a bleeping fvck about your bleeping miserable life

Useless government, can never get anything right

Atiku's recent rigging town-crying is the biggest threat to tomorrow's presidential election. Trying to discredit an election before it takes place is unpatriotic and defeatist. He should keep his cool and collect evidence if rigging occurs and put them forward at appropriate time.

By the way, Americans will never vote in this election. Only Nigerians will. Atiku adopting 'cry cry baby' posture to gain the sympathy of America and Europe will not add extra vote in his favour. Please allow Nigerians to exercise their civic responsibility in peace.

He might as well just pull out of the race because the PDP are already pretty much conceding that the odds are stacked against them. I think they (PDP) never expected to win via the ballot anyway because they know beating Buhari would be a tough nut to crack, and were rather hoping to get into AsoRock via the courts (the Onoghen option). But it's like all their plans are unraveling before their very eyes. The next 48-hrs may prove to be the most excruciating for PDP e-warriors. Y'all better brace yourselves. And whatever you do, please stay away from Sniper. Please.

Me I don talk tire. Na results i dey wait for. Then I'd show some incorrigible dolts around here what it means to respect their fathers.

No. Be una start am?


Apc should play mature game without rigging. Let the vote of the people count

All man dey plan rigging

Answer the question yourself if the allegation is true and you are sure! If the allegation is true, keep your evidences ready for tribunal. Your Atiku is just preapating a way of excape to discredit the electioneering process if it doesn't not favour him. Loosing is stearing directly at his face. 4 + 4 = next level, join the PMB winner association before you go with relegation team(Looter Association of Nigeria, a subsidiary of PDP) tomorrow

The way buhari is boasting that nobody will unseat him as if the country belongs to his family calls for concern.

You are just behaving like an illetrate programmable robot that can feed on any gabbage code to swallow any fake news. No wonder many of you got your brain exchanged for foolishness before Nnamdi Kanu ran away. You mean the news is true and your worriors like FFK, Saraki, Fayose, Secondus, Atiku and so on will not have pressurised EFCC or drag government to court and copy UN, ECOWAS at this fragile time. However, if you get evidence, head to court or forward letter to secondus to take it over.
