A top consultant of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Olatubosun Adeniyi Kuku, has been caught on tape revealing that Bola Tinubu, the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), would offer $170 million to the commission’s officials to manipulate the results of the presidential elections across Nigeria.

“Asiwaju is giving INEC $170 million,” Mr Kuku, who described himself as the number one consultant for the commission, told an official in the audio obtained by Peoples Gazette this week. “We will share it around; everybody will do the bidding.”

Among several other midsize businesses, Mr Kuku was identified by The Gazette as the owner of Winning Keys Consult Ltd., located at 9, Usan Street, Durumi, Abuja, which claimed to have helped candidates win elective positions.

Mr Kuku, who said he visited Mr Tinubu when the former Lagos governor promised to bribe the electoral officials, disclosed that he had received N8 billion worth of election-related contracts from the commission.

“Last 2019, it is N7.8 billion the contract they gave me. Ask him who I am. They call me the Hembe Lembe of INEC. That’s what I do,” the consultant said.

In interviews, Mr Kuku repeatedly said he was not the one on the tape.

“It is not me,” the said by telephone on Friday morning. However, after The Gazette told him the voice was authenticated to be his, Mr Kuku abruptly hung up.

When The Gazette made another attempt to reach Mr Kuku shortly after his initial denial, he quickly said in Yoruba that the audio was recorded long ago and wondered why it could cause any troubles now. He failed to elaborate when pressed.

Whereas it could not be ascertained when or where the meeting Mr Kuku said he had with Mr Tinubu took place, his position as one of INEC’s biggest consultants was confirmed by The Gazette. INEC consultants have long been known to exploit their access to the electrical office towards personal inurement.

Yet, the electoral office strongly pushed back and summarily disowned Mr Kuku when asked for comments about the tape, which a pro-democracy activist described as “beyond disturbing.”

“The INEC chairman and national commissioners I know cannot accept money from any contestants,” spokesperson Rotimi Oyekanmi told The Gazette Friday afternoon.

“The processes that have been put in place have assured that no single person or any group of persons at all can influence the outcome of the presidential election in Nigeria,” the INEC spokesman added.

An INEC official said Mr Kuku’s status as a consultant with the agency would be placed under immediate review.

Bayo Onanuga, the APC Presidential Campaign Council spokesman, did not immediately respond to The Gazette’s request seeking his comments on the audio.

But Mr Tinubu has strongly denied all charges of corrupt practices or any attempts to compromise existing democratic processes. He was among the presidential candidates who signed a peace and fair pact in the weeks and days leading to today’s presidential election, saying it was only a continuation of his pro-democracy activity that peaked during the 1990s military junta.

Still, the candidacy of Mr Tinubu, a top contender in the presidential race being a choice of the ruling party and a key ally of President Muhammdu Buhari, has over time been tainted with age falsification, ill health, corruption and drug dealing allegations.

Ahead of the party’s presidential primary elections in June 2022, sources told this outlet that Mr Tinubu offered delegates bribes to secure their votes as the APC flag bearer.

The delegates confirmed to The Gazette that the APC flagbearer induced Ogun delegates with $25,000 and Adamawa $10,000.

Voting rights activist Greg Adesuwa said Mr Kuku’s disclosure about what he did with Mr Tinubu was not entirely new to Nigerian elections, which have for decades been characterised by violence, ballot box stuffing and outright rigging often linked to candidates and their political agents.

“This INEC contractor said Tiinubu was looking to bribe officials to the humongous amount mentioned, that is beyond disturbing,” Mr Adesuwa told The Gazette. “I hope the security agencies will work to investigate the man’s claim and hold all his co-conspirators to justice in this country.”

Mr Adesuwa said Nigerian politicians should move beyond seeing election as a violent and corrupt process and instead focus on polishing their ideas to make them sellable to the masses.

Una no dey tire

Nlfpmod, pls come to the rescue. Nigeria must be rescued from thieves and Tinubu by fire by force

Tinubu's swift arrest over this matter should immediately nullify his Presidential candidacy in any sane clime.

Obidients will believe this nonsense

Look at the source of the news..

Gazette

Why is INEC messing things up in most parts of the South while the process is going smoothly in the North?!!



What is the agenda please?!!

The gazette will soon be in the dustbin of history, keep spreading fake news

Lies

TInubu and rigging election

5 and 6

Gibbberish!

Fvcking doctored!

Wack job!

Even a fool will know that’s a doctored audio!

Again, we await verification

Tinubu is just a thief


Meanwhile I noticed something tinubu is the only one that had a massive crowd at his polling unit

I am watching Peter obi trying to vote now I cannot see crowd

Atiku own there was crowd but not as much as tinubu


It seems Nigerians don't want change

Another lie against Asiwaju
Children of hate will wail until 2027

No surprises here. For a man that bribed all the delegates during the APC primaries, there's nothing he won't do to become president.

I laugh at urchins rooting for this type of person because he is a Yoruba person like them, not knowing that Tinubu is all about Tinubu.

If this man mistakenly wins, just be prepared to pay more in taxes so he can recover those monies back.

Seun Mynd44 nlfpmod,

I have said it severally that Gazettengr and Thewhistler are all propaganda outlet against APC, but you are still pushing their lies to frontpage

The desperation of becoming president by this dangerous drug lord is enough evidence for Nigerians to reject him at the poll. Tinubu is a threat to the growth and development of this country. He should be rejected today

anonymous1759:

It’s really shameful I tell you , In reality Obi cannot win but I would’ve love to see him win so most people following bandwagon will have a rethink after four years.
BAT is my choice because all I want In a leader is in him. He has history of creating jobs, increasing the IGR , have long term vision and knows how to selecting intelligent people to work with him regardless of their tribe . he’s the least Nepotistic amongst the rest .

I'm glad that you even as Igbo guy says this Truth. My Mom is Igbo too, my Great Dad Yoruba. I wish all Igbos would be this Sensible to Support Tinubu so that Southern Nigeria can become Free from these evil Invaders that have Successfully manipulated the Igbos against Cooperating with the most well Positioned Southerner to Win. Even if Tinubu support Obi to get all Yoruba Votes, Fulanis will never declare Obi Winner. If Obi got all Igbos to Support Tinubu instead of the Slanderous Defamatory Campaign he encouraged, by now it would have been 100% Guarateed that Presidency has returned to Southern Nigeria. Las las, every Original Indigenous Northerners and senseless Southerner that have been pulling Tinubu down would Scream "Had I know!"

Lies upon lie

Devil is a lie

My incoming President asiwaju please debunks all this rumour


God bless you sir

Until a woman takes over the mantle of this country, stupid things with still abound.

Give women a chance or suffer for life.
