Burob, I must say that your comment lacks logic but dressed up as common sense.

Nigerians use smartphones, mobile banking, POS, NIN, and digital transfers every single day, even in remote areas. INEC itself trusted technology enough to deploy BVAS nationwide for voter accreditation. Yet suddenly, when it comes to result transmission, we’re told to accept “discretion” and manual handling? Please.

The Tinubu, APC-led Senate had one simple choice: make electronic transmission mandatory or leave loopholes for manipulation. They chose the loopholes. End of story.

The same loopholes that was made manifest in the last general election with the notorious word 'glitch'

So spare us the gaslighting about imaginary wailers and much ado about nothing.

If it was truly nothing, there would’ve been no fear in ensuring that election results are mandatorily transmitted

These arguments are not only dishonest, they’re insulting to Nigerians who understand exactly how elections have been rigged in this country.

Just keep wailing, it is now Tinubu’s back senate u call it? Just shows how helpless u really are.

Why waste time exchanging banters with a helpless person that has already succumbed to defeat.

Mrfixitt:
You feel or you're saying it because you don't like him ? Peter Obi was the one who killed God fatherism in Anambra as governor so park one side

He killed god fatherism in Anambra’s politics u claim, so how did Willie Obiano his friend & colleague from Fidelity Bank, become the governor of Anambra state?

Razzness:
Dey play.
So you honestly think that it is wishful thinking that an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket in ADC, backed by Atiku, who where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th candidates from the last election can defeat Tinubu on popular votes. Wow! you don't even need to be a genius to figure that out, it's simple mathematics. I am not saying INEC will announce them as winners, even if they win the popular votes. That's an entirely different conversation.

Wishful thinking established on political hallucination.

Ofunaofu:
One would think the Lagos APC spokesperson is speaking under some kind of influence, in fact I must confess he is a mæd man because the argument being made defies logic.

The claim that the Senate “did not oppose” electronic transmission of election results is a convenient distraction.

What matters is this: did the Tinubu-led APC Senate under Akpabio make electronic transmission mandatory? No, they didn’t.

Rather than engage with this central issue, the APC has chosen deflection, attacking Peter Obi instead of answering the question Nigerians are actually asking.

Thunder 🔥⚡🔥 all of them there

Schmoozer Wailer it is at the discretion of Eyeneck so the law prescribes, if one is in a place where electronic transmission is not available, they are left with the option of transferring it manually.

It is ordinarily common sense austinee1, but wailers have since separated from common logic.

Wailers getting hysterical over an issue which is @ best much ado about nothing.

seunmsg:
How exactly can this ticket defeat Tinubu in a three horse race of Tinubu, Atiku and Obi? What’s the path to victory for the ticket? How many states in the north can the ticket win?

razzness is just wishful thinking for his Igbo uncle Obi, there is no path whatsoever to victory, pure hallucination @ best.

ottersberger:
But Buhari and Osinbajo are academic equals?. We know Shettima is even more educated than Tinubu who forged his school papers. Una no get sense.

In all honesty u sound like someone wey no finish secondary school.

Tareq1105:
Is Obi 6.1m votes still there?

Is Atiku 6.8m votes still there after PDP has lost 8 1/2 Govs to APC? That 1/2 is Gov Fintiri bcoz he rejected Atiku ADC totally.

Is kwakwaso 1m votes still there after the defection of his son in law Gov Yusuf to APC?

We should stop deceiving ourselves with the statistics of 2023. APC tinubu will do better in the south east states than the performance in 2023.

I'm not unaware of the hatred for Tinubu and Yorubas, it's a long standing strong issues from colonial to post independent and to the civil war era.

My submission is that without the full cooperation, collaboration, understanding and submission of the Yorubas, no South East can be president bcoz the North cannot do it alone.

As a matter of fact, full cooperation of the North for a south east president cannot be achieved without the intervention of the Yorubas.

I've just pointed out my observations as someone that has been voting since 1983.

You don't have to agree with me or insult me.

U are 100% correct, these children should listen to the words of their elders.

Penguin2:
Once you start getting this kind of news reportage you know that the deal is already concluded.

An Obi/Kwankwaso ticket even under a Birthday Party will run Tinubu and his Sheeples of governors out of town before noon on Election Day even if Seyi Tinubu is INEC chairman.

With what is coming, Tinubu and APC would have wished they allowed Electronic Transmission of result.

Game on!

And the tears can now start flowing.

Same hallucination that u have been deceiving yourself with since 2015, after the general election you will start again with your Biafra we want to leave Nigeria, like u do after every general election loss.

Alleged N738.6m Fraud: Judge Threatens to Revoke Maina’s Bail

The trial of Abdulrasheed Maina, former chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team, continued on Thursday, February 5, 2026 before Justice Abubakar Kutigi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Asokoro with the judge threatening to revoke the defendant’s bail for employing multiple antics to stall his trial.

Justice Kutigi’s anger followed the presentation of Maina’s hospital referral in court by the defence lawyer, Mr Achibong and the lawyer’s request for adjournment as a result of the referral, which named no ill health.

The judge frowned at the fact that the case has not gathered any momentum in the past four years as result of diverse antics of the defendant to stall his trial, despite all the opportunities being given to him by the court to respond to fraud allegations against him. The judge regretted that Maina’s antics “have stalled proceedings completely,” noting that the last time the defendant was present in court was four years ago and considered revoking his bail to force him take his trial seriously.

While refusing the defence lawyer’s request for the adjournment of Thursday’s proceedings, Justice Kutigi disclosed that he has got the commitment of the chambers of the defence lawyers to henceforth proceed with the trial with or without Maina’s presence in court.

With the trashing of the adjournment request, prosecution counsel, Francis Usani proceeded to present the 14th Prosecution Witness PW14, Gogi Mohammed, who began where he left off in his evidence-in-chief at the last adjourned date.

Led in the evidence-in-chief by the prosecution counsel, the witness, an investigator with the by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, disclosed that the investigative team’s visit to Kaduna revealed that “the first defendant used members of staff of the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation, HoSF to siphon funds through payments of fictitious contract, allowances and biometric enrolment exercise for pensioners.

“In our efforts to discover where the funds were hidden, we discovered a certain relative of the defendant, one Maimuna Usman, who resides in Kaduna, who was a custodian of his assets. We went to her residence, somewhere in Gwando MSC Quarters. We arrested her and executed a search warrant on her residence and discovered titled documents, deed of assignments, certificate of occupancy of over 30 properties, located mostly in Abuja and Kaduna State. In the course of interviewing her, she disclosed that the documents were given to her by the first defendant,” he said.

Further in his testimony, he stated that, after interviews with real estate agents who sold the properties, the Commission filed for the forfeiture of the properties.

According to the witness, “Some of the properties were paid for in cash, particularly the property located in Jabi, Abuja. It was paid by Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina in cash in the sum of $2 million (Two million dollars); and another, located in Life Camp, Abuja, was purchased in cash at the cost of $1.7 million (One Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars). Another property, located in Katoru Road, Kaduna was purchased at the cost of N100 million and it was paid for in cash.”



Testifying further, he said, “My lord, in the course of my earlier testimony, I mentioned Hamilton Global Services Limited, owned by Osarenkhoe Afe. He was part of the Pension Reform Task Team, headed by Abdulrasheed Maina. He was introduced to the team by the former HoSF, Mr Stephen Orasanye at the instance of Maina. The said Afe was given contract for biometric enrolment capture at the sum of N63 million, based on the contract award letter, but before the expiration of the contract period, the company requested for a contract extension and additional payment of N136 million, bringing the contract sum to N199 million. We requested for Innovative Solution account statement and upon analysis, we discovered that a total sum of N224 million was paid to the company in respect of the same contract. We invited the owner of the company, Robert Eakazobo. He admitted in the course of the interview that the contract was inflated at the instance of the first defendant.

“We also discovered in the course of analysing his account that out of the N224 million paid to Innovative Solution, he transferred the sum of N166 million to Fredrick Hamilton’s account. Further analysis of the account showed that he was paid N1.19 million directly from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation for biometric enrolment. In the course of the interview, Afe informed the investigative team that the money he received from Innovative Solutions and the ones he received directly from the Office of the Head of Service, totalled about N280 million and he gave N250 million in tranches to the first defendant, usually through issuing of post-dated cheques to him,” he said.

The witness identified both the extra-judicial statements of the first defendant and second defendants, consisting of six and three pages respectively, written by them in their own handwriting in the Commission’s office. However, the defence team of both defendants objected to their admissibility on the claim that they were obtained under duress.

To determine the true state under which the defendants wrote their statements in EFCC’s office, the court adjourned till February 20 and 26 for trial-within-trial.



Maina was arraigned alongside Ann Igwe Olachi in 2019 on a nine-count charge, bordering on receipt of stolen funds to the tune of N738, 612,019.99 (Seven Hundred and Thirty-eight Million, Six Hundred and Twelve Thousand, Nineteen Naira, Ninety-nine Kobo).

Count one of the charge reads: “Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina on or about 2nd July, 2010 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court dishonestly received the sum of N155,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Five Million Naira Only) from Fredrick Hamilton Global Services Limited through one Osarenkhoe Afe (both of whom are facing a separate charge at the Federal High Court, knowing that the said money was stolen from the Federal Government of Nigeria under the guise of contract for biometric enrolment of pensioners. Receiving stolen property is punishable under Section 317 (read in conjunction with Section 316 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, vol. 4 Laws of the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, 2007.”

Count two reads: “Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina and Igwe Ann Olachi between July and December 2011 in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly received an aggregate sum of N153, 146, 719.99 (One Hundred and Fifty Three Million, One Hundred and Forty Six Thousand, Seven Hundred and Nineteen Naira, Ninety Nine Kobo) from Xangee Technologies Limited, (which company is facing a separate charge before this court) knowing that the said money was stolen from the Federal Government of Nigeria under the guise of contract for biometric enrolment of pensioners. Receiving stolen property is punishable under Section 317 (read in conjunction with Section 316 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, vol. 4 Laws of the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, 2007.”

Both defendants pleaded “not guilty,” thus eliciting their trial.

Isn’t it the same person, that was honored last month by a state BAR association?

chiagozien:
And you were clapping for a criminal the z00 government sponsored to take actions that will justify what they accused Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of saying?

Which is what they used to justified and jailed innocent Man.


In few years time the criminal will be out to enjoy his pay, their target Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have been given life sentence.



But God will disappoint the criminal and his z00 masters.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be victorious and accomplish his mission.

Yes, he must complete his mission, I have forgotten, how long is his prison sentence again?

gidgiddy:
Why else do you think it’s called a zoo?

Then in all honesty there must be sincere pity for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, just imagine being a prisoner in a Zoo?

Chai, open society is a zoo, just imagine being caged? unimaginable.

Naijahero1:
It's wrong for a hopeless loser to call others a loser. On what ground do you call them loser? By the people's support or by INEC's manipulation?

For reoccurrence senseless incoherent wailing, Eyeneck never conduct election, u & them have already conceded defeat.

mrvitalis:

Amumaigwe:
APC should do more and hire sound data boys to push their propaganda more intelligently. What is this?

Yes o, so that it can give you more reason to wail longer & stronger.

callthefred:
Can anyone please explain the difference between electronic transfer and electronic transmission that Obidients have been shouting about. Electronic transmission in a country where we vote on paper?? Abeg proper explanation not name calling

Don’t mind those wailers, they weren’t expecting the Senate to pass the bill into law, now that it has been done, they have started another excuse to wail.

Jacoban20:
Exactly!!!

I've been boiling within since yesterday and worried that ADC haven't taken to the streets and invited us all to join them to lock down everywhere until the right thing is done

Funny people, Jokers, boil to u reach steaming point.
