The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room has alleged a 513,214 discrepancy in the number of accredited voters and ballots cast in 27 states during the presidential election that held last weekend.

In its fourth interim report, issued by the Executive Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Clement Nwankwo, on the collation and announcement of the poll results on Tuesday, the civil society organisations said the tallies announced by some state returning officers were disturbing.

Against the backdrop that there were simultaneous accreditation and voting, they noted that a cursory look at some of the figures on accredited voters and total votes cast showed lapses.


According to the CSOs, as at 6:47pm on Tuesday, the gulf was 513,214 in 27 states, including Nasarawa, Kogi, Adamawa, Edo and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The situation room had called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to “transparently address this confusion before the completion of result tabulation.”

The findings indicate a lack of clarity in the rationale for cancellation of polls, noting that the CSOs recorded 1,084,358 voided votes across 1175 polling units in 18 states.

“The pattern of this cancellation requires some close interrogation to show fairness and objectivity,” the report added.

The reasons provided for the cancelled votes, the groups said, included over-voting, card reader malfunctioning and violence. They called on the electoral body to provide clarification on compliance with its guidelines regarding cancellation of elections.

On claims of duress by INEC staff, the CSOs observed that the officials and ad hoc workers had alleged harassment and intimidation in the course of the collation process and undue pressure during announcement of results.

The election monitoring unit noted that INEC failed to publicly acknowledge the occurrences and take measures to safeguard its personnel.


While urging Nigerians to remain peaceful, the organisations called on aggrieved political parties and candidates to seek redress through legal channels.

Nwankwo stated that the groups deployed observers in all 8,809 electoral wards nationwide and received reports of monitors being restricted from several ward collation centres.

However, a coalition of domestic observers, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba, have urged the PDP candidate, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, and other contenders to accept the outcome of the contest in good faith.

The observers, through their spokesperson, Tunde Bafunsho, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to be magnanimous in victory.

The northern elders, in a statement by their publicity secretary, Alhaji Mohammad Ibrahim Biu, pointed out that the call is premised on the need to promote the nation’s development and unity.

NANS, in a statement by its senate president, Abdulmajeed Oladimeji Oyeniyi, cautioned international observers against making statements capable of plunging the country into crisis.

Labour, according to a statement by its president, Ayuba Wabba, asked the rivals to respect the peace agreement they signed.

In an address in Lagos, the senior lawyer counselled the Adamawa native against heading for the tribunal.

Go to court

That magic that makes meat to disappeared in mouth... Heh heh

Nice one. May justice prevail. God bless Nigeria.

check my profile if you live in Jos

Be deceiving yourself there

In its fourth interim report, issued by the Executive Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Clement Nwankwo,

What else do we expect from them?

These people should allow Buhari be. This BS is not what we need now. Let's join hands to fix this country. Forget Atiku, he's only pursuing personal ambition and tried to test his popularity by contesting. Someone who doesn't have political ideology

He started out as Governor Elect in Adamawa in1998. OBJ made him VP in 1999.

By 2006, he decamped to AC (Action Congress)
By 2009, he returned to PDP and contested primary against Jonathan in 2010, which he lost
By 2014, he decamped to APC, lost primary again to Buhari

By 2017, he returned to PDP.

I'm sure, he would decamp again.

No politician has migrated back to his vomit in Nigeria as much as Atiku.

Buhari started with ANPP, CPC and now CPC metamorphosed into APC. He's more consistent than unstable Atiku.

Stop supporting the guy Atiku

Nothing is perfect. Whatever flaw we noticed, some be corrected in future but let move to next level

Na so

Bla bla bla

After the winner has been declared....

Abeg go sitdon...

This is the highest robbery of the collective will of Nigerians.Buhari definitely your days are numbered.

This is the truth.

The signs were clear in the fall of 2014, that we would be in recession. Whether it was Jonathan or Atiku that won 2015, what happened in 2016 was inevitable.

Buhari may be less educated, but the fact that he would not steal, gives some confidence that our tomorrow would be better. It's just the killings and violence that worries me, which may be instigated to bring him down.

PDP government was so corrupt that I benefitted indirectly from it and I now regret.

AuntyAmope:
From my little observation, I believe Nigeria -before Buhari assumed office in 2015- was already at a point of explosion due to the heavy mismanagement of funds by almost all the past governments. It was just a matter of time before it exploded irrespective of who assumed the office, it was meant to happen. All Nigeria needs right now is a good manager,which Buhari is doing arguably fine. And it's understandable to see some people wanting to rise against the Buhari force. How do you expect a system built on corruption, one that knows nothing but corruption, how do u expect it to support the fight against corruption? Nigeria needs overall hauling and cleansing, a long term one. But I tell you, Buhari is our best deal right now. Buhari, a Nigerian ready to fight corruption(a quality Atiku and the other oldies lack), who has been in d game of politics for a very long time(a quality Sowore and the new guys in the game lack)

The figure is still not enough to give the opposition the winning votes they desired, hence its of no consequence.

when the number of result announced is greater than the number of vote casted


we call that one box one cinema

Let them add the figure to Atiku's score and let's if it double buhari's .Shior!yeyenotu!

Fun fact: in 2003, the vote in Ogun (Obasanjo's home state) was rigged so egregiously that it yielded an 86% turnout for the presidential poll (99.9% in favour of Obasanjo) compared to a 34% turnout for the Reps/Senate election a week earlier. Courts later nullified the result.

The appeals court annulled the presidential result just from Ogun State in 2003

Rivers State in 2003 recorded a 100% voter's turnout for the governorship election won by PDP. Guess who was the Vice President then? No prize for guessing

INEC should stop using these VCs, they should use other professors recommended by them for things like dis. This thing is no brainer, the No of accredited voters, should agree with the total number of votes cast plus voided or rejected votes. Agreed, we can have a margin of error cos it might not be perfect, but the error margin should not be more than 5, max 10.

Oya add this figure to atiku's score a d give us change

Rigging started under PDP. Those numbers GEJ got in 2015 from SS and SE are very impossible
For the first time since 2003, we have election conducted under opposition, their secret is revealed.

Buhari's numbers from the north have always been high since 2003 and under him in 2019 it was same.

But PDP's number from the SS and SE was small in 2019 compared to previous years. It shows GEJ rigged the 2015, but was outsmarted by the northerners

It is well

Sorry, Never meant to insult you. Just that you are colour blind, cause you never see the reality. What are you talking. Take on the streets and see for yourself.
