Buhari Instructs INEC to rig in APC gubernatorial candidates

In his desperation to ensure he wins the March 9, governorship election in Akwa Ibom at all cost, fresh facts have emerged that Nsima Ekere, governorship candidate of the APC, has contracted agents to arrange a meeting of all Collation Officers with him.

Ekere, it was learnt adopted this method following the people's rejection of the APC in the state as was seen in last week Presidential and National Assembly elections where APC candidates were roundly defeated by the PDP.

Ekere who is miffed that his Godfather, Senator Godswill Akpabio lost in the election following the refusal of the State Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, Mr. Mike Igini to be bribed opted to deal directly with the Collation Officers.
Our source informed that a University of Calabar Lecturer of Akwa Ibom extraction, who is sympathetic to Nsima Ekere's ambition was on Thursday seen in the Town Campus of the University of Uyo, meeting and collecting phone numbers of Lecturers who were appointed Collation Officers for onward transmission to Ekere.

It was gathered that Ekere plan, according to our source is to put a call to individual Collation officer where he would then offer mouth watering inducements of N1.5million naira each. Ekere, it was gathered would not meet the Collation Officers in persons but would send an agent to deliver the goods after concluding discussions and negotiations.

Apart from the Collation Officers, Ekere is also said to be targeting Supervisory Presiding Officers and Presiding Officers of each of the 329 wards and over 2000 polling units respectively.

It was also gathered that Ekere also directed his media team to send bulk sms to people indicating that the National Assembly elections where PDP won all the ten federal constituency and Senatorial seats had been cancelled. The essence of this, it was learnt was to discourage voters from coming out to vote with the mind that even if they vote it would be cancelled.

Another source said Ekere was also working on the option of using militant groups from outside the state to disrupt elections where Collation Officers would not accede to manipulating results. It was gathered that, Ekere in his thinking is targeting about 25 Collation Officers across the state and to use militants to disrupt elections in at least 6 local government Areas where INEC could possibly cancel and call for a rerun on a separate date.

A source said that the desperation shows that without rigging, APC leadership in the state knows that it can never win in any free contest against governor Udom Emmanuel who has done much to endear electorate to himself.

It was not clear as at press time if Mike Mike Igini's led INEC would use the Collation Officers he used during the National Assembly elections in the Governorship and House of Assembly elections on March 9.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing".

An attempt by miscreants who were formerly members of the state House of Assembly had been foiled.
The illegal invasion by five sacked lawmakers was aided by some security agents and thugs, who chased out staff of the House of Assembly.

However the arrival of the Speaker of the Assembly Onofiok Luke, who was accompanied by 20 other members marked a tragic end of the comedy.

On sighting the arrival of the lawmakers, the impostors scampered out of the complex.

The 21 lawmakers have now taken their seats and the proceedings is about to commence.

The clerk of the House Mrs Mandu Umoren and other staff are now seated in the chambers.

The Chief Security Officer of the state, His Excellency Gov Udom Emmanuel arrived the complex and had a private meeting with the speaker in the Speaker's office.
Proceeding now in progress

The mace used by Nse Ntuen earlier at the House of Assembly is not the original Mace of the House.

Their Sergeant at Arms is also unknown. Only God know where he was brought in from.

A meeting was allegedly held at Senator's Akpabio's Residence last night and the result is the drama staged earlier today by the 5 sacked House Members.
Now, we now have a case of impersonation where the Sergeant at Arm of the House and the Speaker of the House are impersonated respectively

#AKHAUnderSiege

Today's attempt to lay siege on the House of Assembly by 5 members of the House who sat and claim to have removed the Speaker and suspend members of the House of Assembly is a gameplan which was orchestrated by Senator Godswill Akpabio.
They had a meeting at Akpabio's house in Ewet Housing Estate yesterday evening and it went on throughout the night

How can five sacked members of a house of Assembly be aided by the new Akwa Ibom police boss to defecate in the hallowed chambers.
This is so petty and uncalled for. Federal might should give us roads and infrastructure.

Federal Might should not be used for legislative rascality.
Federal might should escort those bunch of comedians out of the Hallowed Chambers of Akwa Ibom State legislature so that lawmakers can start the day's business.
Akwa Ibom is not for sale.

As Nigerians usually say: some disappointments are a blessings in disguise. If Senator Godswill Akpabio had not defected, he would have kicked against this honour don't to the Elder statesman. The renaming of the Airport would not have happened.

We need many more of such defections so the "unjust weight" on the system can be lifted.

Nigerians will not take you seriously when you do not respond to simple queries here. You are asked questions but you don't respond.

Proverbs 22:6New King James Version (NKJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Its a shame that a portal by students is only centered on entertainment and gossip and not about making discoveries and advances in science, art or technology.

Shame.
