Bashir Ahmed: A Review Of The Video Shared by TGM2015: 8:07pm On May 29, 2022
Today, on twitter space Bashir Ahmed was trending on Twitter based on the video he shared on manipulation of votes by official at the primaries.

https://twitter.com/BashirAhmaad/status/1530843280669298693?t=qGSxKo6bnyR3VFH3fKkFjg&s=19

From the video, it was seen the that election official write the name for the delegates, hand over the form to the delegates to cast their votes. From the beginning of the video, we can see there are conversations between the official and the delegates.

At 51 seconds of the video, there is a delegate, after checking the form, reject it by shaking his head, drop the form on the table, and a new one was given to him. We can deduce from the video that

1. The official wrote aspirants name for the delegates,
2. The delegates confirmed the aspirants names before casting their votes.
3. No delegates was forced to accept aspirants name they don't intend to vote.
4. No delegates was against the mode of voting (that is, allowing officials to write names for the delegates).

Base on another video (see link below), it is seems that is acceptable mode of voting during primaries in the area.

Conclusion
Based on the video shared by Bashir and other video seen, we cannot conclude the that the primaries that Bashir lost was manipulated against delegates wish as claimed by Bashir.

Thats not true.
What transpired is massive rigging.
The northerners are big cheats when it comes to elections and population census.

Thanks for analysing it well here

Nope. That's a big fat lie.
I totally disagree with your position that full grown men could not write the name of whoever they want to vote for. So they hand over their voting paper for name of candidate they want to vote to be written for them?
All of them are not educated to be able to do that?
Is that the level of illiteracy in the North?
You guys in the North think other regions are dumb as you people.

Now this is what happened.
The voters have collected monies from delegates to vote for them.
The delegates are not taking chances. So the agreement is, you collect the money, you hand over your card and we will write the name of the candidate you are voting for and hand over the voting card to you to cast in the ballot box. That way they are certain you vote who they want.
I have seen a similar video of same thing during Pdp primaries where northern women delegates were giving their voring papers to be fill for them without any communication to specify who they want.
The entire North are fraudulent when it comes to election.

Why should someone who can’t read and write be a delegate?

Did you watched the video, it does not follow this your write up.

Let us assume there was a vote buying and the process was adopted to know who to give money to, you cannot say it is not fair because, at the end, it was the voters that decided/agreed to vote for the candidate base on whatever agreement they had with other party, in this case, as you alleged, financial inducement.

In the video shared by Bashir, a young man refuses the name written for him, he was not victimised nor forced, his will was respected without any drama, his preferred candidate name was written, given to him, he confirmed the name, and dropped the ballot casting his vote.

Free and fair is all about what most, if not all, stakeholders agreed to be free and fair. If that process as seen has been established to be acceptable by all, then, it can be said to be out of place. The video also confirms that all delegates shown in the video were not nor looked victimized/forced to cast their vote.

They are agreed to the name on the ballot before cast their votes, and delegates who doesn't agree with the name, request for change of name , and there request were granted without delay or manipulation.

Bashir should go and sit down somewhere...

I'm sure if the rigging was in his favour he would have told us the election was free and fair
