let's wait for the judges to decide that

Tinubu and his group should go and lick their woods, they are finding excuses to frustrate BVAS in 2023 election, it was a huge surprise to them how the lost after billions of money they shared, on the eve of election in Osun 11 APC governors were on ground including thugs they imported from Lagos and neighbouring states, still BVAs and result transmission showed them shegge, the huge one is loading first quarter of 2023

Racoon:
Perhaps Gboyega Oyetola still thinks Abba Kyari is still there to help manipulate the then Tanko-led supreme court to help him win 2022 via the despicable "remote control" back door as it was in 2018.

The introduction of BVAS have really revolutionised our electoral process given it spectacular feats in Ekiti, Osun and Anambra states. This is why a Tinubu that said Voter's card has an "expiry date" is attempting with shameless futility to discredit the same BVAS by doubting it proficiency and reliability.

Off course even vote buying will be the greatly curtailed with the involvement of the NFIU and CBN currency change cum limited withdrawal policies.

I thought INEC said elections can't be rigged with BVAS. How come over-voting was recorded in the Osun Gov. election?

SojWORLDWIDE:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has admitted that there was over-voting in the July 16 governorship election that brought in Ademola Adeleke as Governor of Osun State.

A Deputy Director in the ICT department of the INEC, Mrs Abimbola Oladunjoye disclosed this while giving evidence before the Election Petition Tribunal hearing the petition filed by Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Adeleke as the winner of the election.

Being cross-examined by the Petitioners' counsel, Chief Akin Olujinmi SAN, Oladunjoye who was referred to as a star witness of INEC admitted that in Ward 4 unit 7, Ede South Local Government, there is an over-voting of 75, as the figure of accreditation on the BVAS report presented by INEC is 313, while the result on form EC8A is 383.

Oladunjoye's attention was also drawn to paragraph 21.36 of his witness statement where she stated that the accreditation figure was 830, but in the BVAS report presented by INEC, the figure of accreditation is 793, admitting that there was an over voting of 37.

The witness also admitted that in paragraph 26.7 of his witness statement, there is an accreditation figure of 402, while the accreditation figure on the INEC BVAS report was 263, admitting that there is an over voting of 139.

Also in paragraph 23.24 of his witness statement, Oladunjoye agreed that the accreditation figure she mentioned was 448, while the accreditation figure on BVAS was 224, admitting that there is an over voting of 224.

The witness who said under cross examination that she was not a Presiding Officer on the election day said, it is only the Presiding Officers that have explanation on what transpired at the polling units on the election day.

The INEC representative who admitted that she signed and certified a BVAS report for the Petitioners, further said that the copy of the report was different from the one issued to the respondents, adding that she never indicated that the report issued to the Petitioners was an interim document which would be subjected to synchronisation.

She testified that the synchronisation was done after election result had been declared on July 17, 2022 and BVAS report had been issued to the Petitioners on July 27, 2022.

Done with the cross examination of the witness, Chief Olujinmi hinted that the irregularities identified in the BVAS report presented by INEC was just a tip of an iceberg, saying, there are loads of over-voting during the election.

Earlier, the tribunal had admitted as exhibits the load of BVAS machines and CTC of Form EC8 series brought to the tribunal by the INEC counsel.

After the Cross examination of the witness, the INEC counsel, Professor Ananaba informed the court that he would no longer be calling any other witness, as he applied to close his case.

Counsel for Adeleke, Onyeachi Ikpeazu subsequently opened his defence by tendering form EC8 series used for the election.

However, the tribunal raised issue as to the safe custody of the BVAS machine tendered and admitted in evidence, as the panel ordered that the machines should be kept in the Central Bank Vault in Osogbo.
The tribunal then adjourned till tomorrow, Thursday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Tuesday tendered election results it issued for the July 16 Osun state governorship election before the tribunal sitting in Osogbo, the state capital

INEC commenced its defence against the petition filed by former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and the All Progressives Congress, APC, challenging the declaration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as winner of the July 16 election in the state.

Oyetola and APC closed their case on Saturday, December 3.

At the resumed hearing on Tuesday counsel to the first respondent, INEC, Paul Ananaba, SAN, disclosed that he has before the tribunal, schedule of witnesses the commission intended to call, schedule of documentary evidence, which include forms EC8A series, EC8B series, EC8 C, D and E.

He also informed the court that he has schedule of Bimodal Voter accreditation System (BVAS) and Bimodal Voter accreditation System (BVAS) machine to be tendered as exhibit before the court.

Counsel to Ademola Adeleke, Niyi Owolade and that of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Nathaniel Oke, did not object to the schedules sought to be tendered.

However, counsel to the petitioners, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, disclosed that though, he has no any objection to the admissibility of schedule of witnesses and forms EC8A, EC8B, EC8C, D and E series, but said the schedule should have been arranged in such a way that it allows for easy marking as exhibits.

He also opposed the tendering of columns 7 and 8 of the schedule of BVAS machine on the ground that the petitioners have not seen nor examined the said machines.

His words; “In principles, we are not opposed to tendering schedules of witnesses, EC8A, EC8B series, EC8C, D, E. My observation, however, is that a column should have been created for marking the document as exhibit, else, it going to be tedious marking the documents.

“But in respect of BVAS machine, we have not examine it and it cannot be subject of tendering. You will also observe that in the schedule dealing with BVAS there are 8 columns there, the last two dealing with accreditation on EC8A, physical inspection on accreditation on BVAS are matters of evidence which they have produced and which we have not had the opportunity of examining it. It cannot form the basis of part of the schedule”.

Responding, Ananaba, said, “what we have done is to present what we intend to do, we do not have to get the permission from the petitioners on how to present our case. It is mere observation and it should be noted”.

The Justice Tertse Kume-led panel then proceeded on recess for 4 hours 45 minutes, during which an INEC trucks with equipments that appear like BVAS machines was drove into the court and parked in front of the tribunal around 4:15pm.

The panel reconvened at about 4:45pm to admit the listed documents on the schedules.

Fagbemi, SAN, however raised issue of fundamental procedural error, saying INEC counsel only sought to tender the schedules not the contents which was admitted even without the petitioners examining same, he urged the court to vacate it order admitting the documents, a position that was not objected by counsels to INEC, Adeleke and PDP.

Justice Kume, thereafter vacated the order admitting the contents of the schedule. Ananaba then applied to tender the contents of the schedules, which include the election results, before the court.

Fagbemi then stated that the petitioners reserved their objection and the grounds till the final address stage as agreed at the pre-hearing conference.

The panel Chairman, adjourned till Wednesday, December 21 for continuation of hearing.

2023: Atiku will defeat Obi in South-East - Aniagwu

Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Charles Aniagwu says the turn out for the party’s presidential rally in Anambra and Imo states shows that the party had what it takes to win in the South East geopolitical zone.

Speaking on Arise Television on Saturday, Aniagwu said that the PDP was still very popular in the South East and urged Nigerians to support the party’s Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa to rescue the nation from destruction.

Aniagwu said contrary to claims that Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi may win because he was from the South East, popular politicians had defeated their opponents in the past even in their strong holds.

According to him, the same way you have Peter Obi in the South East, same way you have Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Kwankwaso in the North and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the South-West, so individuals will naturally come from somewhere.

"That a man comes from somewhere does not mean that he may not be defeated and I may need to take you back to 1992 and if you could recall Bashir Tofa and Moshood Abiola. Tofa from Kano and Abiola from Ogun State in the South-West but Abiola defeated him in Kano.

"So that a man is from a place does not mean that the place will automatically be for him. And so I would not want us to be intimidated with the fact that somebody is from somewhere.

"Atiku is not just speaking and making promises, his chances both in the South-East and elsewhere in the country is far brighter than even the northern star and that is on the basis of his pedigree in time past.

"You will recall that between 1999 and 2007, Atiku and Obasanjo held sway in this country and their records are there for everyone to see," he said.

The campaign spokesman further remarked that Atiku had the ability to search for talents to develop the country as he did while he was Vice president.

"Atiku is not just talking because he has the ability to search for talents irrespective of where they are from.

"Dr Okonjo Iweala and Professor Chukwuma Soludo who served as Minister of Finance and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, were discovered by Atiku and they made great impact during their tenure."

On bringing peace back to the South-East, Aniagwu said Atiku had already enshrined peace and unity in his policy document "My Covenant With Nigerians"

"Atiku has made it very clear that he is going to discuss with both state and non-state actors and the crisis in the South-East is basically from non-state actors.

"Some people see them as agitators while others see them as militants but Atiku is not going to be involved in labeling. He will discuss the issues with them and good enough some of the issues are already known to him.

"Issues of under development and marginalization and he says he is going to address them to ensure that every Nigerian irrespective of where you are from is going to be brought on the decision table and once those issues are dealt with, the people agitating would have been assuaged to embrace peace," he said.

Aniagwu who is also Delta State Commissioner for Information, said the party's Vice-Presidential Candidate and Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa had addressed similar issues in the state to the extent that the creeks where there used to be agitations is now as peaceful as the upland.

"Atiku besides his pan Nigerian disposition also believed that that formula worked and will be adopted to bring lasting peace across the country, so we are quite convinced that Atiku will take decisions that will make everybody comfortable by forming a government of national unity," Aniagwu added.
