PRESS RELEASE

ALLEGED MANIPULATION OF ACCREDITATION DATA ON IReV

The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) attention has been drawn to some media reports alleging that the Commission was tampering with the accredited figures of voters in the Kogi Governorship Election results uploaded on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. However, these reports are unfounded.

For the avoidance of doubt, the most accurate and up-to-date Voters’ Accreditation Data is available in the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), which is used for the authentication and accreditation of registered voters at various polling units on election day. It automatically retains the accreditation data of all voters.

The BVAS is designed to primarily work offline without Internet connectivity, which facilitates faster and seamless authentication and accreditation experience for voters. However, when its application is active or in use, depending on the strength of its connection to the Internet, the BVAS automatically exports the accreditation data to the Accreditation Backend System (ABS).

This exportation of data does not happen when the device’s application is inactive or when the internet connectivity is poor. The same experience applies to a situation where more than one BVAS gadget is used at a polling unit with more than 1,250 registered voters. This could be compared to a situation when poor network services delay the delivery of an SMS sent from one individual to another through a mobile phone.

At the close of poll, Presiding Officers are expected to press the data exportation button on the BVAS to ensure that all the accreditation data are exported to the ABS. This process, referred to as synchronization and which is ongoing, could lead to changes in the accreditation figures as more data flow in to update the existing figures. This is the basis for the caveat provided on the IReV portal, regarding the accreditation figures. The accreditation data cannot be changed on the BVAS after the close of poll.

The public should disregard the misleading report and misinformation.

Deny all you want, but INEC and integrity cannot share the same sentence. We need to review the electoral laws to allow one of the Big 4 auditing firms access INEC data in real time during elections.

We cannot continue to allow crooks decide the future of this country. If that realtime audit doesn't work, we try something else. APC has undermined the judiciary, so it's no longer an option.

D lie no fit add up... How one person go score 200k votes for 2 local government... E get followers pass buhari for north?

Lol. Professional at what they do.

INEC under Mahmood is a criminal organization!

I didn't expect them to admit it

It is always deny deny

Then provide all the required data and get Wole Olanipekun to find loophole and defend them loudly.

The disclaimer about the figures not being final owing to synchronization lapses, I know something fishy was about to happen.
Still wondering why some figures syc before others.
Anyways, Nigeria will always happen.

APC'S electoral wing has spoken

Disgusting criminal organization

Losers always good at looking for who to blame

Nigerians will rather trust the devil than trust this wayo electoral body .....

Eyeneck has lost it long time ago.....
Jega was fair then because buhari people wanted den was from his region
This eyeneck chairman is APC member....

So Every election won by APC is aided by INEC?

It is surprising that it is non indigenes of Kogi state that carry dis matter for head like gala......
Urging Kogites and their Dinosaur that came a distant 3rd to go to war.
Trouble makers and enemies of the nation dem.
Na burn down, burn down dem know.
Politics of bitterness and hatred.
Anything dey support always end up in failure.

God bless all, sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians out there.

If this post hit u for heart like heart attack,
quote it to wail and gnash your brown teeth,
Let Nairalanders know you today today t 👅 😋

Inec-Apc were gonna agreed to it? Doomed country

They have masters in denial

Mahmud the criminal must go to jail. Insha allah

The uneducated will not understand, and some educated will choose not to understand.
This is a simple logic, some people who pulled up the initial figures might have done that earlier than the end of the process, and you don't expect the figures to tally.
Moreover synchronization of some data take some time and strong network especially when it is updated online, if it is a software that updates offline you can say it will be adding up automatically.

I believe their system is programmed in a way last submission can not be altered.

However, nothing is ruled out in Nigeria.

Many don't understand that the election in Kogi was between the Ebira's and the Igala's, I was meant to know that the Ebira's made sure that Ododo was the only Ebira man contesting.
The minority west where Dino came from supported the Ebira's against the Igala's, whom they felt might seize power again once the get it.

Losers are crying.

Usual hot air of a response.

Is INEC now saying that the total numbers of eligible voters Okene now more than half of the population of adult age in Kogi State?

I know Tinubu rigged. But Kogi rigging is ringing hard abeg.

Noted

Check out what we do

INEC trust level is below 10% among Nigerians.
People were shocked watching live in Imo State as a party agent was being beaten mercilessly at the collation centre and the Professor from Osun State was busy shouting Next Local government, call the next Local government and made no attempt together with security agents present to protect that man from vicious mob.

garfield1:


But when the party agent was busy making noise and disrupting the process,you didn't notice?

That's the job of security agents to take care of the situation if the man was unruly.
You are not condemning jungle justice because its APC agents that carried it out, tables do turn
