Excerpts from Seun Okin's interview with Festus Okoye, INEC's National Commissioner on Voter Education/Publicity on #PoliticsToday


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTEz6hr3ovQ
Seun Okin: Have you been able to fully upload all the results from the Presidential Election to the IReV

Festus Okoye: You cannot fully upload all the results because there were places where elections did not take place.
1. There were PUs where there were no registered voters.

2. There were areas where there were violent disruptions, you cannot expect INEC to upload all the results of all the PUs to the IReV.

Seun Okin: So how many have you uploaded so far?

Festus Okoye: I don't have the figures off-hand but substantial number of the results have already been uploaded on the IReV.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwEo4JM3P1s
Seun Okin: Why the discrepancy?

Festus Okoye: No discrepancy. Each party has agents at all the polling units. I find it slightly difficult to understand why almost all the political parties are relying only on the results from the IREV.

We came out and explained to Nigerians what happened.

Seun Okin: You did not.

Festus Okoye: We did.

Seun Okin: What did you say happened?

Festus Okoye: We said there was a glitch.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTl9nzlsi-w
Seun Okin: Millions of naira, Nigeria's tax payers money, was set aside for this election and INEC said there was a technical glitch. Tell Nigerians, was this technical glitch a human or machine error?

Festus Okoye: It is not true that the machine failed. The machine has three components, for voters registration, voters accreditation and results upload. All worked successfully excepting results upload of the Presidential Election so there was no failure.

You can buy a vehicle today and it develops a fault same day.

cock and bull story





What is it about the government and its agents and employees that they can lie to us with impunity, but we risk being sent to jail if we lie to them?

Tell ome lie and you'll need a plethora of lies to back it up.

Unfortunately, we live in a country where people support illegality as long as it remotely benefits their sentiments and disposition.

Stating the fact.
There are over 100,000 polling units.

APC and PDP had party agents in all, as party agents are expected to stay at the polling units, count votes there and sign the form before the form is either uploaded it the hard copy taken to the collation Centre.

You're unable to get 100,000 plus agents to assist and you want to claim fraud or rely on IREV.

So what happen in those units that you had no agent? How can you prove fraud?

Tell this Obi guy to stop wasting his time and 🤑

When INEC boss was busy singing in interviews that results will be uploaded real time.... Una no know abi??

INEC has no excuse whatsoever

CyracksMrBlogger:
Real facts, party agents should be relied upon

Hear yourself... So we should leave INEC and rely on on party agents??

Alary:


When I told you I will transfer money to you by so so Time , but there were glitches on the network and I decided to send it by courier , is that not fair enough.

What if the so called courier tampered with the amount??

This is why Nigeria released huge sums of money to INEC, to avoid all this courier talk
Nononsense247:

Shut up ... Agents no get result ?


Show me anywhere for electoral act wey say make we use agent result.

Roles and responsibilities of party agents cannot be overemphasized during elections. When APC and PDP were busy recruiting party agents across all polling units in Nigeria, LP was busy with town hall meetings in some selected geopolitical zones in the country. I wasn’t surprised that LP couldn’t challenge the result at the tribunal hence the IREV real time upload challenge.

If you still believe any court in Nigeria will upturn the election result, you are sleeping on a bicycle. Very soon, technicality will step in. Nigeria doesn’t even have enough to conduct another election this period, I don’t know if we would have recovered in the next four years anyways. All thanks to Uncle Buhari

grin

Before the election, we asked the opposition if they understand the role of a party agents, they had no clue.

The oppositions relied on the results that would be upload on Irev to collate the results as they are short of party agents. At least LP was short of ten thousands of agents across the 177k polling unit in Nigeria

If the Irev failure is so irrelevant in the process why bother having it in the first place particularly at such a high cost to the tax payer? Remember this election cost over 300 BILLION NAIRA!!!!

Why was communication about the glitch not made promptly by INEC if there really was one and considering what was at stake?

Why have no details about the so called glitch been provided?

Why did the glitch not affect the other elections process going on in parallel and relying fully on the same back end via AWS?

This small man thinks he is clever. By these comments it is clear he doesn't rate the Nigerian public at all. He thinks you are all fools.

Why did it fail for presidential election when house of reps and Senate went smoothly?

INEC should simply say they disabled the uploading function/code/algorithm in the presidential results uploading page in the portal's back end so they can do their wayo

Other pages will work, but the particular disabled presidential election results uploading page/function won't work

INEC goofed big time...!

In saner climes, an electoral body won't be making such statements! They are just too preposterous!


If a nation's electoral body can't be incorruptible and truly Independent along with the Judiciary, then there can be no real hope for that nation!
