Ok ooo

Racoon:
A useless criminal government agency like INEC is still talking?

No mind them abbegg..

Beremx:
you dey talk nonsense na. Use direct proportion a topic in primary five mathematics to solve how many percentage of voters turnout in Nigeria. Use cross multiplication to get your answer correctly. Thank you

If he read his “Understanding Mathematics Books: 4-&-5” very well....
Or even his “La-Combes”...

He wouldn't be finding his arithmetics this difficult.

misreal:
The population of Liberia is 5million, with over 78percent voter turn out, and the population of Nigeria is well over 200million with voter turn out of over 10million..

Are you happy with this breakdown you did here??

10million people made an important national decision for over 200million people??
And you think everything is just normal about it?



And talking about countries with large populations...
I want you to give me the average voters-turnout in the US, and India.

misreal:
Nigerians don't trust their electoral process.


Secondly, what is the population of Nigeria compared to the number of voters turned out in Liberia?

See them..
Quantity over Quality..


Fake Population..
Fake Voters Turnout.
Fake EVERYTHING.!!

..


.
Nigeria is just managing with 29% voters turnout..


Next thing now,, some people will just come out to say that the Nigeria’s 29% is far far bigger than the Liberia’s “meagre” 78%..


That's just it.
Nigerians always loved QUANTITY over QUALITY.

Going by the official results released by the National Elections Commission of the Republic of Liberia on their online results portal:
https://results.necliberia.org

1. The Presidential Election had a voters turnout of 78.83% so far - as at 99.97% completion of the collation and tallying process.

2. The Senatorial Elections had a voters turnout of 78.5% so far - as at 99.97% completion of the collation and tallying process.

3. The House of Representatives Elections had a voters turnout of 78.1% so far - as at 99.97% completion of the collation and tallying process.

Heheheheheheee..

Now,, the salaries of all the CIVIL SERVANTS and PUBLIC SERVANTS Across-Board should also be REVISED too.

..

INEC shouldn't be making such statements,, and even passing such comments in such a somewhat conclusive manner; since most of these petitions are STILL UNDERGOING PROCEEDINGS AT THE APPELLATE COURTS..

ELECTION PETITIONS FILED BY LITIGANTS CAN’T BE USED TO ASSESS 2023 POLLS, SAYS INEC.


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that it was inappropriate to solely assess the credibility of the Commission or the conduct of the 2023 General Election on the number of petitions filed by litigants who, in any case, have the right to do so under the law.

In response to a recent news report titled “INEC’s credibility sinks as 94 per cent contested posts await tribunal,” the national commissioner and chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Sam Olumekun, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja explained that the report contained inaccuracies and called for a more balanced perspective on the matter.

Providing a detailed clarification on the situation, Olumekun pointed out several key issues with the report. Firstly, he highlighted that the report had inaccurate figures regarding the number of constituencies where elections were conducted in 2023. He said the correct figures were 1,491 constituencies across the country, consisting of various positions.

According to him, “First, basic fact check on the information regularly published by the Commission and available on our website would have shown that in 2023, elections were not conducted in 1,280 constituencies, including 782 State Assembly seats. On the contrary, elections were conducted in 1,491 constituencies across the country made up of 1 Presidential, 28 Governorship, 109 Senatorial, 360 House of Representatives, and 993 State Assembly constituencies.

“Similarly, the claim that State Assembly elections were held in only 28 States of the country is made on the lazy assumption that no such elections were held in the eight States of the federation where executive elections are held off-cycle. As every attentive Nigerian knows, the tenure of legislators is tied to the legislative houses which is a fixed term of four years from the date the Assembly is inaugurated, unlike the term of office of the executive which begins from the date they take the oath of office.”

Secondly, he said the report incorrectly blamed INEC for pre-election cases arising from political party primaries. He averred that these cases are intra-party matters and do not involve INEC in the primary election process.

Olumekun also addressed the fact that many litigants in Nigeria file election petitions for various reasons, and not all of these petitions have merit. In fact, 74.4 per cent of the petitions have been dismissed or withdrawn, demonstrating that the majority of them lacked merit.

“In pursuit of their right under the law, many litigants in Nigeria, unfortunately, file election petitions over the most improbable cases and later withdraw them or they are dismissed by the tribunals. If the report had taken time to analyse the outcome of the cases decided so far by the tribunals, it would have been discovered that out of 1,196 petitions, 712 were dismissed and 179 withdrawn.

“This means that in 891 cases (74.4 per cent), the tribunals found no merit in the petitions and affirmed the result of the elections conducted by INEC. It is surprising how the mere filing of petitions constitutes a blot on the integrity of the recent elections conducted by INEC when in fact they constitute an integral part of the democratic process,” he stated.

Furthermore, he explained that the report’s analysis of the total number of petitions was misleading, as it did not consider that multiple petitions can be filed for a single constituency, which distorts the percentage calculation.

Olumekun stressed that election petitions are not limited to challenging INEC’s conduct but can also involve the eligibility of candidates, which is a matter for the courts to decide, not INEC. More so, he provided a comparative analysis showing that the number of election petitions may be rising, but the number of elections being nullified remains relatively low over the past three electoral cycles.

Olumekun noted that it is inappropriate to assess the credibility of INEC and the 2023 General Election solely based on the number of petitions filed by litigants, as they have the legal right to do so. He called for a more circumspect approach to reporting and urged the media to strengthen public institutions rather than impugn their integrity, especially when dealing with basic statistics.

The statement reads in part: “A comparative analysis would have addressed the deliberate effort in the report to portray the 2023 General Election as regressive on account of litigation without empirical evidence. Over the last three electoral cycles, the number of election petitions may be rising but not the number of upturned elections. In 2015, 663 cases were filed at the tribunals, 87 (13.1 per cent) were nullified and the Commission ordered to conduct a re-run in some polling units or entire constituencies.

“In 2019, 807 petitions were filed but elections were only re-run in 30 (3.71 per cent) constituencies (3 Senatorial Districts, 13 Federal Constituencies and 14 State Constituencies).

“While the 2023 post-election litigations are ongoing, all five petitions filed in respect of the Presidential election were dismissed while three are pending on appeal. As of Monday 16th October 2023, out of 82 Governorship election petitions, 72 (87.8 per cent) were either dismissed or withdrawn by the petitioners.

For Senatorial elections, 146 petitions were filed out of which 100 (68.5 per cent) were dismissed or withdrawn. For the House of Representatives, 413 petitions were filed out of which 309 (74.81 per cent) were dismissed or withdrawn while for State Houses of Assembly, 550 petitions were filed out of which 468 (82.4 per cent) were dismissed or withdrawn.

“The Commission wishes to restate that it is inappropriate to solely assess the credibility of INEC or the conduct of the 2023 General Election on the number of petitions filed by litigants who, in any case, have the right to do so under the law.

“While we wish to restate our continuing partnership with the media, it is prudent to state that the pen should be used to strengthen rather than impugn the integrity of public institutions particularly where basic statistics demand that we should be circumspect.”

...Out of 1,196 petitions, 712 were dismissed and 179 withdrawn.

It is very wrong for this INEC commissioner to be making conclusions when the appeals of these judgements are still ongoing.

Meanwhile..
He is angry that there were inconsistencies in the report?
He shouldn't be.
INEC is the grandfather of all inconsistencies in Nigeria.

Oohh.. 74.4% of the petitions found no merit.??
So, 25.6% found merit??
Meanwhile.. He should wait a little bit further.
The numbers MIGHT change drastically after the whole appeals are concluded up till the final appellate jurisdictions.

Don't forget that this particular Church their wedding could be after 3 kids ooo.

The usage of white is symbolic even if most people don't know.

There is no need quoting me, just ask Google.

So,, only women should show her purity?
(Even when she no dey pure true true??)

And why must anybody symbolizing anything?


Oga ..
Wear what truly makes you YOU.
That's what the man truly wants.
And not symbolisms of what is not truly there in reality.

When you reach 70, you need to adopt a baby.
And please..
See the baby as your own kid,, and not a step-kid.

Don't be the person to introduce the kid to sex, even after he or she is fully grown.
(And don't even have any form of intimate affair too)

xin5:
I have my own house, A good business what source of income are you talking about?

Your Source of Income is actually a PASSIVE one.

One that doesn't require you working.
The SOURCE makes the money, while you just do the spending.

And now, you're not spending wisely.
Why don't you develop interest in travels.?

OGHENAOGIE:
the issue with some of u is self deceit even in established democracy like America independent candidate can't win president... We aren't talking of parliament position or gorvenor... An independent candidate ll still not win.. get that only national party like PDP APC can win presidency simple... Bernie Sanders was an independent candidate in Senate but had to join Democratic party to seek president nomination which Hillary Clinton got eventually politics isn't emotions and noise from rudderless obidients like u guys do online...

Town Crier..!!
There is a first time to everything.

Wait ooo..

In Nigeria,, nobody is resigning.
In fact,, they will sniff out the person who first shared the video.. (Or any social-media influencer or any celebrity who shared the video).. and make a scape-goat out of the person.

Why is he even giving attention to the case by sending his lawyer there??

OGHENAOGIE:
na u Sabi after supreme court judgment u guys ll rest from your hallucinations... One of the justice at the pept tribunal said a serious Party ll have agents at polling units and not wait for results from INEC... So u now Kno...

Dull comment here..

OGHENAOGIE:
he can as well leave and rejoin APGA self... But the reality remains only PDP APC can win presidency... Na analysis I de do.. ok

Once the constitution amends itself to include INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY,, Then you can come back with this comment again.

For now,, continue cussing and crying.

OGHENAOGIE:
but u can call tinubu name and u pple don't want others to mention Obi... LP made PDP lose.. 2023 elections was there for opposition to win but they were terribly divided

If you decide to misunderstand my comment, it's none of my business..

You guys can continue crying.
