Atiku’s Server Gambit By Faith Edet Bassey by Zeemam: 2:31pm On May 02, 2019
I really wonder for how long we have to deal with dishonest leaders. Leaders who lie without remorse, who cheat the people, deceive the people and relentlessly play on their intelligence.

When Alhaji Abubakar Atiku started yelling that he had been cheated on the Monday following the presidential elections, I thought, well, perhaps he must have a point.

Then he said the results he was getting from the field showed he was ahead while the results being announced on TV and radio by the returning officers showed that he was losing by an ever increasing gap as the results came in.

Then he said he was going to prove that the elections were rigged by showing that the INEC server (not website, which is accessible to all) contained results showing he won the elections by 1.6million votes. As to how these results got to the INEC server, he offered that the Smart Card Readers transferred the results from the polling units electronically to the server.

Atiku is clearly playing games with our intelligence. His ploy is simple. Tell a lie, make it as confusing as possible, a lie around technology always works best .

But this is so irritating because it is so obviously a lie.

In the petition before the tribunal, he says that the results on the INEC server showed that in Lagos State he had 1.1 million votes! and Buhari had 1.3 million votes. I voted in Lagos, the entire Nigerian Press and all the social media operate in Lagos. Minute by minute they posted the results on line. The total votes by all the media for both Buhari, Atiku and all other candidates was 1.05 million votes. It seems only Atiku had a record of this fantastic result!

I am a lawyer, I am not a SAN like his lawyers but the Electoral Act makes no provision whatsoever for transmission of election results electronically. The relevant provision clearly prescribes a process of filling and verifying forms at every stage from local government collation to State collation and then the National collation centre at Abuja. Section 73.

Of the Electoral Act says , “Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Commission shall issue and publish, in the Gazette, guidelines for the elections which shall make provisions, among other things, for the step by step recording of the poll in the electoral forms as may be prescribed beginning from the polling unit to the last collation centre for the ward or constituency where the result of the election shall be declared’.

And section 74. says, ‘Every Result Form completed at the Ward, Local Government, State and National levels in accordance with the provision of this Act or any guidelines issued by the Commission shall be stamped, signed and countersigned by the relevant officers and polling agents at those levels and copies given to the police officers and the polling agents, where available.’
So the law expects that the results would be collated manually, entered and signed on forms provided by law. In any event, the Card reader is only configured to verify the authenticity of PVCs not to collate and transmit results. Those who designed the process may have known that electronic transmission would result in these types of scams, a candidate who claims he accessed the INEC server! If he could access it he could tamper with the figures. Thank God that we have hard copies of all the results and the law only allows proof by hard copies.

The same Atiku argues in his petition that Card readers were not used in many States. Yet his ‘server results’ show results from every State except Rivers State. In every State there is a total number of accredited voters and scores for both Buhari and himself. How were the results electronically transmitted in States where Card Readers were allegedly not used?

It is incredible that a man who wants to lead this nation sees nothing wrong in barefaced deceit and astonishing lies.

This is just so insulting!Why do we have these sorts of characters inflicted on us?

Only those who want to be deceived will believe Atiku's result. How on earth will Buhari score over 1 million votes in the south-east?

If buhari truly won the election, how come inec is unable to allow PDP inspect their election materials?

How come total accredited voters is greater than total vote cast by 750,019?? Why the disparity?

Just use your common sense and don't try to be too clever by half.

Everybody knows that in the process of manipulating the votes, APC left a trail which is difficult to erase.

Inec has a server and the result shows buhari lost.

The Manual result is not statistically possible.

Total accreditation for 2019 election is 29.3 million.

This is not realistic.

In 2015, total accreditation was approximately 30 million and the number of people with PVCs were 56 million.

In 2019, total accreditation can not be below 30 million because PVC holders had increased by over 16 million.

That is 8.31 million in the south and 8.2 million in the north.

Hence the server result which shows that total accreditation is 37.6 million is the real result because of the following reasons;

1. It's statistically realistic.

2. It shows a direct relationship btw increase in pvc collection and increase in voters accreditation and total vote cast.

3. The server result is immune to manipulation.

4. Lastly, the server result shows that nationwide turnout is 50.05% unlike the manual result which shows that nationwide turnout of voters is below 38%.

I hope I have been able to convince you that inec has a server result and atiku's lawyers know what they are doing.

Their petition is the best petition I have seen in my life because it is laced with evidences.

Cheers.

He knows and they know that we live in a country where people believed the president was an impostor. Where people believe Donald Trump will send warplanes to destroy Nigeria and create Biafra. He knows such people can believe anything.

Sure atiku cameroon and his senior advocates from Ghana know more than the umpire(Nigerian INEC) that set the rules?

Atiku has his case in court, stop rambling and wait for the court to decide.
It's even more worrisome that some people think the runaway dullard won the election.

Stop embarrassing yourself. President is currently the President of Nigeria. He is also the President-elect. That status will remain that way unless the court says otherwise (don't hold your breath, Nigerians has decided).
