Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has alleged that ballot papers with thumbprints were distributed by air nationwide on the eve of the presidential election.

Buhari expressed concern about what he called the nocturnal movement of presidential ballot papers that were taken to polling centres.

Speaking on Saturday after casting his vote at the Serikin Yara Ward at the Kofar Baru polling unit in Daura, his home town, Buhari said that he had facts from impeccable sources.

Buhari stated that he had reports of planes distributing ballot papers with thumbprints to states across the country.

“One of such planes came earlier this morning to Katsina airport, and our people were driven away from the airport before the consignment was off loaded and driven straight to the Government House,” he said.

He added that the CPC had been vigilant and had monitored movements at the Independent National Electoral Commission’s headquarters in the state to ensure that only authorised materials were moved in or out.

“People are determined and they went and surround INEC and they are making sure that whatever went in or out of INEC is one which is being supervised by our representatives and the presidential election monitoring teams,” he said.

Buhari said that his party had learnt from the national assembly elections that the rigging would be sophisticated and had mobilised its supporters to be vigilant.

“Our people now know it’s up to them that they have literate and committed agents from the polling unit up to the collation centre,” he said.

Buhari said that it was the responsibility of young people as major stakeholders in the Nigerian project to ensure that the elections were free and fair.

“If they allow the ruling party to mess them up, it is they who will suffer for the next 40 years,” he said.

The CPC presidential candidate, however, said that he would not go to court to challenge the outcome of the election.

He stressed that if he was taken to court, his party would rise to defend him.

Buhari had a difficult time wading through the crowd of supporters that had thronged his Serkin Yara polling unit to watch him vote.

Several people, especially the elderly, waited patiently on long queues for voting to start.

loser accept defeat in good faith!!!, if thumb printed ballot paper were distributed, GEJ will not be scoring low in the north where the number of people voting seems ridiculous to other part of the country, from the number i have seen going to CPC, it looks like goat, sheep and cow are all voting in the north.

.

haba!,we are use to dis allegation already.pls gen. buhari say something else?

LOL!

Buhari turns rumour monger after several failed attempts.

This Buhari, I mean this particular Buhari amongst his very many ills is evil and insatiable also.
Thumbprinted materials yet his party cleared it in Katsina, in Shekarau's Kano,in Ribadu's Adamawa(these are other aspirants in the race). He actually thinks he's popular outside the north?

To be sincere there was little little rigging mostly in the villages but overall. I give this election 53% pass mark in terms of rigging.

thank you for being honest

[size=15pt]Go to court and LOSE, LOSE, LOSE again, Ayatollhah Buhari Bin-Laden, you dumb camel-jockey dickhead.   Ha ha ha[/size]

This man should respect his old age and stop trying to heat up the polity with baseless allegations of impropriety at every turn.

TO ALL WHO ARE HAVING A LAUGH REMEMBER TWO EVILS CAN NEVER MAKE GOOD.

IF YOU GRACEFULLY REJOICE OVER WHAT HAPPENED IN SOUTH EAST AND MUCH OF SOUTH-SOUTH (EXCEPT EDO) REMEMBER NEMESIS IS THE "MORNING DEW OF TOMORROW" JUST LIKE MADAM DORA IS BEGINNING TO FIND OUT!

AS A SOUTHERNER I AM ASHAMED WE IN THE SOUTH ARE REJOICING OVER A SPOIL THAT WILL FURTHER KEEP US IN BONDAGE. JONATHAN STILL WOULD HAVE WON MOST AND IF ALL PARTS OF THE SOUTH (SW + SE) WITHOUT THE LANDSLIDE RIGGING WITNESS IN THESE REGIONS.

AS FOUR BUHARI, WHATEVER THE OUTCOME THE SHOULD GO AHEAD TO KEEP TO HIS WORDS CONCERNING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO AFTER RESULTS OF THE ELECTION IS ANNOUNCED.

FOR ALL I KNOW : "THEY THAT COME TOGETHER TO KEEP A LOOT SHALL SCATTER BECAUSE OF THE SPOIL!"

^^^ What happened in SE and SS pls.

Rigging alleges Buhari of election.

Abegiii make the man follow IBB resign joo! (Hope y'all know IBB has resigned from active politics)

Infact bb, i'm just beginning to understand what FAILURE can turn man into. Okay, i'll vote 4 u in 2015

I tire for the man o. This election was the true definition of fair play. For every under age vote in the desert, there was an equal and opposite extra thumb print in the creek.

Buhari has already said he will not head to the courts this time around. Does that sound like a 'bad loser'? If he spots evidence of rigging should he not mention it? Is anyone here saying there was no rigging in this elections?

In 4 years time it will be your turn to defend the better candidate, perhaps someone like Gov Fashola. You will meet a new generation of young Nairalanders who will play the roles people like Odunnu and Beaf are playing now. And Nigeria will continue to stew in mediocrity.

It's still not 100% certain who will win this thing, but i'll assume GEJ will edge it. I'll remind you people of this day at regular milestones. We'll see.

Bb has gone bankrupt that's why he's trying to embark on inflammatory words instead of going to court. All u guys should help ur oga in settling his debts

I only wish he/she would remove the f for female right next to her ID cause each I see that, I wonder if he/she also inhaled the fumes from the bottle, while dying her hair blond to match her IQ. ROFLMAO!!!!

He said he heard from his field officials and he had to report to security agents, why are people castigating him? are you guys trying to say there was no rigging in this election?

Nobody can say there was no rigging in this election but let us do like Al Gore and move forward.

exactly ^^^

this election is ODD but people will look the other way any GEJ was already president so . . .

Underage voting and thump printing. So there have been election malpractices. How large though is the real question.

More proofs.
