Bristol Isaac Tamunobiefiri (aka PIDOM) is an online citizen journalist and whistle blower. He is a supporter of Peter Obi (that is, he is an Obidient).

He was arrested by the police in 2024 and charged with unlawful possession and leakage of classified government secrets. He was detained for a long time but eventually granted bail.

PIDOMNIGERIA @UNOFFICIALFACT

On Monday the 8th of june 2026, i was on @tudobams twitter space.

I promise to post receipt/evidence of scamming and high level corruption in the NDC @NigeriaNDCHQ

Below is a receipt of 20,000,000 million naira that was scammed from the hand of a senatorial aspirant of the NDC, and a petition to that effect already sent to the EFCC @officialEFCC

THE STORY

After purchasing his 3 million naira expression of interest form to contest for a senatorial slot in the NDC, he was invited to Abuja for screening.
On reaching Abuja, they gave him a form to sign that he will abide to whatever the screening committee does, and will not sue the NDC to court. He was surprised, but he went ahead and signed. He felt they were going to screen him based on his profession, political exposure, grassroot structure, past records, qualifications obtained, etc.

But to his wildest imagination, they started asking about his bank statements, the number of houses and properties he owns, cars and investments, about his financial capacity, etc.

They told him that he has to show capacity if he really wants to be a senator.

They wrote down an FCMB account details for him, and asked him to pay the sum of 20,000,000 million naira into it. He paid the money, and the NDC shut their doors at him till date.

He is now asking the party to refund him back his 20,000,000 million naira, and has filed a petition against them at the EFCC.

Nigerians, this happened to thousands of aspirants nationwide. But because many are still expecting the outcome of their primaries on Monday the 15th of June 2026, coupled with the fact that they singed a no lawsuit agreement, they are just handicapped.

I have other receipts and documents, but i will wait for the NDC to deny this first.

After purchasing expression of interest form of 3 million naira, what is this unknown 10, and 20 million naira meant for?

Who collected that money, and whose pocket is that money going to?

If not for scamming, why will the NDC ask aspirants to sign undertaking of no lawsuit?

Hmm this matter/allegation is very serious oh!

It’s clear that many of Obi’s men that paid EOI monies were denied tickets unlike Kwankwaso’s men that got better “deals”.. Obi simply threw his men under the bus, as self centred person he is.

The ripple effect will be massive!
There is another person that provided evidence that he was asked to pay a huge amount of money. This person has petitioned EFCC and demanded for a refund.

This is my election money post.

I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2020

(Naptu2's note. I actually started writing this in the middle of the night on September 18th/early morning September 19th).



Money elections

I started writing this on Friday night/Saturday morning, but I had to leave for my adventure before I could finish it and I didn't save what I had written, so I'm giving it another go.




I heard about this issue in 1983, 1987 and 1989, but it wasn't until 1991 that I got the opportunity to see it firsthand.

Dear diary, do you remember that I told you about a man that lived at a place called Ekiti Lodge? I told you that he was a politician and businessman in the 1950s and '60s, a judge in the 1970s and '80s and he became a politician again in the early 1990s.


He wasn't very successful in his second stint as a politician. You see, he had a reputation of being an honest and no-nonsense judge. He was the kind of person that some Nigerians would describe as being troublesome (because he didn't take any nonsense and he didn't allow people to dish any nonsense) and Nigerian politics doesn't like honest people who that are very principled. But that's not the theme of this piece.


The man contested in an election in 1991 and that gave me an opportunity to study this issue from the inside.


There are three sets of people that usually sign the result sheet after an election and these three set of people are usually given original duplicate copies of the result. The three set of people are (1) the returning officer, (2) the party agents (3) representative of the police.


Police

Usually the duplicate copy is given to a representative of the divisional police officer (DPO) if the election/collation is at the ward level, a representative of the area commander if the election/collation is at the local government level, a representative of the commissioner of police if the election is at the state level and a representative of the inspector general of police if it is a presidential election result.

(Now I'm going to deviate from what I planned to post on Saturday because I've realised that this is an opportunity to post something that I've wanted to post since January. So here is one of my abandoned posts).

It was this fact that gave governor Hope Uzodinma victory at the Supreme Court.


INEC had conducted the Imo State governorship elections in 2019. The results that INEC declared (at the end of the process) showed that Emeka Ihedioha had won the election, Uche Nwosu came second, Ifeanyi Ararume came third and Hope Uzodinma came fourth. Many of the contestants were not happy with the results and they headed for the Election Petition Tribunal to challenge it.


Hope Uzodinma of the APC alleged that INEC did not include results from 388 polling units in areas where he had a strong support base and he claimed that he would have won the election if those results were added.

INEC claimed that elections in those polling units were marred by violence, ballot snatching and other irregularities. It claimed that it cancelled the votes in those polling units because of the irregularities.

However, the APC stated that INEC had no authority to cancel votes from those polling units because it is only the courts that can annull the votes. It stated that cancelling the votes amounted to disenfranchising voters that voted at those polling units.

INEC stated that it had no results from those polling units.

The APC then got its polling agents to testify and they tendered their copies of the results, but the PDP poked holes in their stories during cross examination. For example, the PDP showed that some of the results sheets did not have the signatures of all of the party agents that were present during the election.

Then the APC subpoened the Imo State deputy commissioner of police in charge of operations (DCompolOps), Rabiu Hassaini, to bring the police's copy of the results and testify at the tribunal. DCompolOps are usually in charge of election security at the state level, while DIGPol Ops is usually in charge of election security at the federal (presidential and National Assembly elections) level.

Rabiu Hassaini arrived at the tribunal with large bags filled with the police's copy of the results from the 388 polling units and he testified in support of those results.


However the PDP objected to Hassaini's testimony on two grounds.

1) The PDP stated that Hassaini did not provide evidence to show that he had the Inspector General's permission to testify.

2) The PDP also alleged that the results that were presented by Hassaini were forged.

The tribunal accepted the PDP's objection and excluded the results that were presented by Hassaini. Therefore, it declared that Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP was the winner of the election. The APC appealed the decision of the tribunal.


The Appeal Court upheld the decision of the tribunal. However, one of the judges gave a dissenting opinion. He wrote that the subpoena to Hassaini was routed through the office of the Inspector General of Police and that meant that the IGP was aware and gave his approval for Hassaini to testify, otherwise he won't have appeared at the tribunal. He further wrote that the PDP did not provide any evidence to show that the results that were tendered by Hassaini were forged.


The APC appealed the decision of the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court unanimously alligned itself with the dissenting judgement from the Appeal Court. The Supreme Court ruled that Hassaini had the permission of the IGP to testify and that the PDP did not prove that the results that were tendered by Hassaini were forged. Remember that by law, Hassaini, who was the representative of the Imo State commissioner of police, was entitled to an original duplicate copy of the result.

The Supreme Court therefore ruled that INEC unlawfully excluded the results from 388 polling units and when those results were added the total enabled Hope Uzodinma to leapfrog from the fourth position to the first position. And that's how Hope Uzodinma became governor of Imo State.




But that's not the main theme of this post. The main theme of this post is the party agents and the huge amount of money that is required to mobilise them on election day.

Political party agents sign the result sheet after the announcement or the result of the 2016 Ondo State governorship election.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNU8ki6lRXA
As you've seen in the previous section, it's very important that you have agents at all the polling units and collation centers. The polling agent serves the following purposes:

1) He enables the candidate to know the actual result of the election.


2) He enables the candidate to know if there has been any electoral  malpractice at the polling unit or collation center and he also enables the candidate to gather evidence of such malpractice. This evidence will be very useful at the tribunal.


3) He enables the party and candidate to know if the electoral umpire has made a genuine mistake and he also ensures that the mistake is corrected. This evidence will be


4) Basically, the party agent protects the interest of the party and the candidate at the polling units and collation centers.


Interview with the agents of the APC and PDP at the 2015 Presidential Election National Collation Center.

The agent of the APC, Dr Olorunimbe Mamora, said that he noticed an error in some of the figures announced by INEC and he called the APC agent in Enugu who confirmed that INEC made a mistake and then he called the attention of Professor Jega to the error and it was corrected.

The agent of the PDP, Elder Godsday Orubebe, said that he was satisfied with the results that had been released so far because they tallied with the results relayed to them by their agents in the field. He said that his only other observation was that there were a lot of results flying around on social media and so he drew Professor Jega's attention to that and Professor Jega said that it's only the result that was released at the center that was authentic.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMQr2CO4btU
So, as you can see, the party agent is very important. The candidate/party must have an agent at every polling unit and every collation center so that there'll be someone to protect his interest at all these places. Now imagine if it is a presidential election!

There are 119,973 polling units in Nigeria and 57,000 other polling centers. This makes a total of 176,973 places where voting is conducted. That's not including the collation centers!

These are the possible collation centers.


1. Registration Area (RA)/Ward Level

2. Local Government Area (LGA) Level

3. State Assembly Constituency Level

4. Federal (House of Representatives) Constituency Level

5. Senatorial District Level

6. State Level

7. Collation and Declaration of Presidential Election Result at the National Level.

According to INEC. . .


The Presiding Officers/Collation Officers at the various levels complete the result sheet and request the party agents available to countersign. Duplicate copy of the result is made available to each one while the original is taken to the next level of collation.

The Presiding Officers/Collation Officers at each level completes the notice of results of poll and paste at the Polling Unit or Collation Centre.
So you need to have your party agents at these collation centers in addition to the polling centers. Nowadays, with the advent of information communication technology, particularly the Internet and mobile phones, political parties and candidates also set up situation rooms where they'll receive reports from their agents in the field in real time. They also have analysts in these situation rooms who can analyse the data that's gotten from the agents and advise the candidate accordingly.

https://www.nairaland.com/6130685/pdp-monitoring-edo-election-situation
The staff at the situation rooms during a governorship election are usually from out of state. This because they need to monitor the situation right from the release of sensitive materials in the early hours of election day until the final result is released and this means that they need to be at the situation room for two or three days straight. Meanwhile the candidate needs every vote that he can get, so he wouldn't want potential voters locked up in the situation room.

All of these people must be mobilised and the equipment in the situation room must be procured


Elections usually begin early in the morning and continue till around 10 or 12 o'clock when counting begins. Sometimes the elections are extended due to late arrival of materials and the party agent might be at the polling unit till 3pm. These polling agents must eat breakfast and lunch while they are performing their duties.

Collation of the results might start in the afternoon of election day and continue all night and into the next day. The party agents at the collation centers must eat lunch, dinner and breakfast while performing their duties.

Furthermore, nowadays, these agents need mobile phone airtime in order to relay reports to their situation rooms and they also need to be able to transport themselves to their duty posts and to be able to monitor the movement of results from the polling units to the collation centers.

All of these cost money.




That takes me back to the stories from 1987, 1989 and 1991 (and even from the early 2000s). There were stories of political parties and candidates bringing food to polling units and feeding everybody there, including their opponent's agents. There were also stories of parties and candidates inducing their opponent's agents to switch allegiances. Can you imagine a situation in which an agent appears at the tribunal to testify against his own candidate?

Party agents usually refuse to sign the result sheet if they believe that the election was compromised, but can you imagine a situation in which a party agent not only signs the result sheet, but he also testifies that the election was free and fair, despite the fact that it was rigged against his candidate?

The agent of the PDP, Osita Chidoka, explains why he refused to sign the result sheet after the announcement of the result of the 2019 presidential election.

The agent of the APC explains why he refused to sign the election result sheet after the announcement of the result of the 2020 Edo State governorship election.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSA1-qKxyHA
This is why political parties and candidates do all they can to select their most loyal followers to act as polling agents and they also spend a lot of money to ensure that the agents are happy and fully mobilised on election day.

The Obunike Ohaegbu even mocked Peter Obi by citing his favourable quote, "To answer Honourable, the path to assuming that name must be honourable." This was to convince me that the entire NDC project is a fraud and Peter Obi is at the centre of it. He wrote the message below:

DIRECT PRIMARIES AND THE DANGERS OF NDC IMPUNITY

In 2023, there was a supposed Peter Obi wave which gave many people the opportunity to clinch political positions. The NDC now hopes to take advantage of that same wave in the 2027 elections.

However, in their arrogance and alleged manipulation, they failed to factor in the implications of direct primaries in the entire process.

Voters in various communities were mobilised to different venues for supposed direct primaries. They were mobilised by aspirants they desired to vote for. They stayed all day, only to discover that either the person they voted for was not the candidate eventually shortlisted, or that voting never even took place.

They went home angry and disappointed. These are the same people the party believes will massively vote for it in 2027? Someone must be high on something.

The arrogance of the supposed beneficiaries of this compiled list made them ignore the grassroots because they had already been promised that they would be returned as candidates.

Primaries were supposedly conducted on 29th May 2026. Today is 8th June 2026, yet no results have been published.

Rumour has it that the party is waiting for the 14-day period within which aggrieved aspirants may challenge the process to elapse before publishing the results.

You are frustrating people from seeking legal redress against your manipulation, yet you will hope to get justice when the APC-led Federal Government plays your own game.

In the words of our presidential candidate, HE Peter Obi, Okwute: "To answer Honourable, the path to assuming that name must be honourable."

That statement applies not only to individuals seeking public office but also to political parties seeking the trust and mandate of the people. A party that emerges through a process tainted by allegations of manipulation, secrecy and impunity will struggle to convince Nigerians that it represents a genuine alternative.

Sad.

Obunike Ohaegbu, when I questioned him to prove that Peter Obi was responsible for demanding the N10m from him and other HOR aspirants and N20m from the Senate aspirants, he made it clear that when he confronted the Party on who authorised the payment, the party named Peter Obi and the caucus leaders who were assembled by Peter Obi. He sent me the "PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS" to convince me. Read the Press statement and his indictment of Peter Obi below:

*PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS*

Understanding the Just Concluded NDC Primary Elections:

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), which is the fastest-growing political party in Nigeria, believes in the principles of leadership, consultation, inclusiveness, and consensus-building.

The party operates under an established stakeholder leadership structure which has caucus heads in all states of the federation.

In the South-East geopolitical zone, our presidential candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, came into the party with an established leadership structure comprising respected elder statesmen and political leaders who serve as caucus heads in their respective states.

The caucus leaders are:

• Abia State – Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, former Chairman of the NDDC Board.
• Ebonyi State – His Excellency Dr. Sam Egwu, former Governor, former Minister, and former Senator.
• Enugu State – His Excellency Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, former Governor, former National Secretary, and former National Chairman of the PDP.
• Imo State – His Excellency Chief Achike Udenwa, former Governor and former Minister.
• Anambra State – Since His Excellency Peter Obi is our presidential candidate, his team coordinates the process.

These leaders were entrusted with conducting stakeholder consultations, building consensus, and making recommendations to the party based on their understanding of the peculiar political dynamics in their respective states. In addition, each state has recognized stakeholders and grassroots leaders who participate in consultations and make recommendations regarding party affairs.

This process was conducted without prejudice to the rights of any aspirant. Where aspirants disagreed with recommendations made by stakeholders or caucus leaders, they were free to test their popularity through the democratic process at the grassroots level, and this was duly accommodated.

At no time has the NDC National Secretariat been involved in the business of picking, choosing, or imposing candidates on any constituency or state. Every aspirant who approached the party was received, attended to, and directed to engage with the appropriate caucus leaders, stakeholders, and grassroots members of the party in their respective states.

In line with its affirmative action policy, the party has demonstrated a commitment to encouraging and supporting female participation in elective offices, and has done so in some cases. The party has also expressed an interest in protecting and supporting serving members of parliament. Beyond these considerations, all aspirants were referred to their state caucus leaders and all those who bought Expression of Interest Forms were asked to go into the field and participate in the primaries. We are aware of reports of some aspirants prematurely declaring themselves as candidates, as well as complaints raised by others regarding aspects of the process. These issues have been brought to the attention of the appeal panel and the leadership of the party and have been addressed accordingly.

As resolved at yesterday's NEC meeting, we now look forward to the commencement of a comprehensive reconciliation process. We count on our esteemed caucus leaders, state chairmen, stakeholders, and party leaders to engage all aspirants and members in the interest of unity, cohesion, and the continued growth of our party . . .

2. For this reason, throughout the past several months, whenever aspirants or stakeholders approached the party regarding elective positions, we consistently referred them to their respective state caucus leaders. Likewise, those with concerns or grievances were advised to channel such matters through their caucuses for resolution.

The party’s role during this period has been to receive new members and prospective aspirants into the NDC, welcome them to the party, reassure them of our commitment to fairness, transparency, and inclusiveness, and direct them to engage with their respective caucus leaders for guidance and participation in the process.

This approach reflects our unwavering commitment to consultation, respect for established leadership structures, internal democracy, and the collective pursuit of unity and progress within the party.

Signed:

Kenneth Okonkwo @realkennethokonkwo

Let me make it clear that as a citizen and a Lawyer, I have a duty to disclose every crime against the state that comes within my knowledge. The South-East people have suffered enough. No human being can again take them or any citizen of Nigeria for granted or perpetrate any fraud against them without challenge. Obunike is just one out of many others who have been scammed by NDC and its leaders.

The appropriate security agencies and anti-corruption agencies should immediately commence the investigation of this fraud by NDC and its leaders with a view to refunding the aspirants who were defrauded. According to Obunike Ohaegbu, Peter Obi is at the head of this fraud, according to NDC, and he must be investigated.

Senator Seriake Dickson made it clear that the decision of NDC is that aspirants should pay for only expression of interest form and no more. He said that the only person who is allowed to pay for the nomination form is the winner of the primary election. Any other payment to the party is a product of corruption. May I ask, Is Obunike Ohaegbu and the other aspirants for the Nnewi House of Representatives primary election winners of the primary election? If not, then Peter Obi and the NDC must refund him and all other NDC aspirants their stolen money.

This is the main reason I went public with this information. The NDC aspirants must be refunded back their money.

A former core Obidient, Blessing Ezeokoli, had previously made the same allegations.

Morris Monye was the director of mobilisation in the Obidient Movement but he resigned last year. He has followed Peter Obi to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Blessing Chimezie Ezeokoli (aka Jack The Builder) was head of IT in the Obidient Movement. However, he decided to stay in the ADC and did not follow Peter Obi to the NDC.

Politics › Obi: Kenneth Okonkwo Releases WhatsApp Chat With NDC Aspirant, Obunike Ohaegbu by naptu2(op): 3:43am On Jun 10
Kenneth Okonkwo @realkennethokonkwo

My attention has been drawn to the interview granted to Channels TV and NJENJE MEDIA TV by Obunike Ohaegbu, the NDC House of Representatives aspirant for Nnewi North and South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency to the effect that he did not tell me directly that Peter Obi said that he should pay N10m to NDC account for nomination fee. I have been laughing since then.

In all honesty, I cannot even say everything this man told me about Peter Obi just to preserve the remaining of Peter Obi’s tattered reputation. Indeed, I asked him a question when we were discussing orally, “are you telling me that Peter Obi is the head of this criminal gang that defrauded you people?” He answered “Peter Obi is the head, stomach, and feet of the criminal gang.” As a matter of fact, he pleaded with me to save our people from the criminality of Peter Obi. I told him to put it in writing.

His message was so long that he had to apologise for the length. Please tell me, if a person said that Peter Obi was writing list of aspirants in John Wood Hotel, Abuja, who didn’t win election in NDC, to become candidates for NDC, what else is criminality? He even stated clearly that Peter Obi wrote Senator Victor Umeh’s name as a candidate when he lost. He referred to Peter Obi as my friend in some of his allegations against Peter Obi. I asked him to clarify that “my friend” which he wrote was Peter Obi, and he expressly admitted that.

See the WhatsApp messages where he confirmed he was talking about Peter Obi.

Please see some excerpts as directly stated by Obunike Ohaegbu:

“My brother, The entire NDC project, at least from my personal experience, has left me feeling deceived and profoundly disappointed ... While other states, particularly Kano and several states in the North, appeared to be engaged in negotiations and consultations aimed at achieving consensus, neither I nor, to the best of my knowledge, any aspirant from Anambra State was invited to any meeting for the purpose of negotiating or agreeing a consensus arrangement.

Consequently, I mobilised my supporters and participated fully in the primary election process in the belief that the outcome would determine the party’s candidates. This naturally raises a fundamental question. If no consensus meeting was held with the aspirants in Anambra State, and no agreement was reached amongst those seeking nomination, my brother Ken, how did your friend arrive at the list of candidates that he allegedly produced at Johnwood Hotel in Abuja?

Consensus, by its very nature, requires consultation, negotiation and agreement amongst stakeholders. Where there is no consultation, no negotiation and no agreement, there can be no consensus. If aspirants were directed to participate in primaries while candidate lists were allegedly being prepared elsewhere, then serious questions arise about the integrity of the entire process. If that is not fraud, then the word fraud must have another meaning ...

The list reportedly included individuals who did not emerge from the primary process. Indeed, even Senator Victor Umeh, who reportedly lost his contest, appeared on the list. Yet, as of today, 7 June 2026, the party has still not published the official results of the primaries ...

Even more disturbing is the fact that the same statement signed by the National Secretary appeared to shift responsibility for the Anambra situation to PO. I have read the statement several times and remain unable to understand how a political party can conduct primaries, refuse to publish results, claim to have completed appeals, produce a controversial list of candidates, and then seek to place responsibility elsewhere.”

Xenphobia: Nigeria considering retaliatory measures as South Africans invade Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu's social media pages.

It wasn't actually supposed to have started today. It's just that we were supposed to have rounded up the formalities today. The repatriation is on course.

Mr. President himself has reiterated the fact that this aircraft must come to South Africa and our citizens who are imperiled will have the chance of getting on this aircraft to be brought back to their country.
How many people are we doing?

The figures keep increasing.

There are several processes, as you know, that have to be undertaken by South African homeland security. They ensure that we screen our citizens who want to return. They also are part of the screening process.

And once the citizens are cleared, they are given a paper that indicates that they are free to go, essentially. So once this situation started getting worse, the president directed that a crisis response unit be immediately set up within our consulate and also the Nigerian mission in Pretoria. So as things are, we have people in different provinces.

We also have people who need to be assisted to get to the Nigerian consulate in Johannesburg. So we're in the process of all that, but the documentation, which is the most important aspect of this, has been done.

(the next question is inaudible, but it had something to do with illegal migration)

That is absolutely untrue.

Citizens are being harassed. Our citizens, their properties are being looted. Criminal actions are perpetuated on our citizens.

The police refuse to anything. the South African government has not come out strongly, firmly enough to condemn these incidents. So our citizens are imperiled.

They are in distress. So they cannot be said to be illegal migrants. People who are doing legitimate business have their shops looted.

They have their shops set on fire. Children cannot go school because they are intimidated in their schools. So to say that Nigerians who are in South Africa doing legitimate business are illegal migrants is absolutely untrue.

Nigeria is not happy with South Africa?

Nigeria is not happy because Nigeria has sacrificed much for the South African struggle for independence. Nigeria sacrificed quite a lot, committed funds, committed resources to aid South Africa.

In schools, seats were reserved for South African students. My own generation, we carried placards. We demonstrated in front of South African assets.

Sometimes we even got arrested for doing this. And Nigeria is a serious front-line state. And Nigerians are not happy about how they have treated us.

They are not asking other migrants to leave. They are only asking black migrants to leave.

Are we looking at the possibility of retaliating, retaliatory measures?

Well, that is a situation that we are considering. This is up to our legislature.

This is up to the highest. This is a decision that has to be taken at the highest level of government, but it's not off the table.

Are there plans on that when these migrants come back to the country, to actually get them set up and start their life?

This evacuation is being undertaken with NEMA.

We're doing that with various government agencies and parastatals to ensure that once they come in, they can be rehabilitated.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
