EXCLUSIVE: Saraki, Other PDP Leaders Pressure INEC Chairman To Rig Edo Governorship Election In Party's Favour

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKJUL 08, 2020

Plans by a former President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, and other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party to rig the forthcoming Edo governorship election in favour of the party had been uncovered.

SaharaReporters gathered that Saraki and others are piling immense pressure on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, to help them ‘deliver’ the state for PDP.

A source in the know told SaharaReporters that Saraki recently reached out to the INEC Chairman through the PDP Deputy National Chairman (North), Suleiman Nazif, on how the election can be rigged in favour of the party.

Nazif, an indigene of Bauchi State, served as Chairman of the Committee on INEC in the 8th Senate.

Despite the pressure, the source said Prof Yakubu insisted that he won’t be involved in manipulation of results to favour any party.

“The INEC Chairman has told them that only the will of the people will prevail and that he has no such powers to rig elections especially with the technology and innovations in place. He told them that he has never rigged elections and is not going to start now.

“Senator Suleiman Nazif, a former Senate Committee Chairman on INEC, has been sent to him by Bukola Saraki on several occasions but he maintained that he can’t get himself involved,” the source said.

Incumbent governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, is seeking a second term in office on the platform of the PDP after he was disqualified from contesting the primary of the All Progressives Congress where he was a strong member before now.

Obaseki's main challenger for the September 19, 2020 governorship election in Edo is Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC.

Ahead of the highly anticipated contest, both PDP and APC have continued to accuse each other of plot to manipulate the exercise in favour of their respective candidates.

2023: S’East PDP rejects zoning presidential ticket to North
•Don’t assault Igbo sensibilities, group warns Suswam, PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South East zone, yesterday, rejected the rumoured zoning of the presidential ticket to the North in 2023.

National Vice Chairman, South East, Chief Austine Umahi, in a statement in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, said the decision on zoning of the presidential ticket has not been discussed by the leadership of the party.

Umahi was reacting to a recent statement by former Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, that the PDP had zoned its 2023 presidential ticket to the North.

He said the former Benue governor “passed personal wishes” as the collective decision of the party, and urged the National Working Committee(NWC) of the party to quickly address Suswam’s coment for the interest of peace and unity of the party.

Umahi said no zone should be neglected or underrated in the decision-making process of the party, especially the South East, which he said had made tremendous sacrifices for the growth, wellbeing and survival of the PDP.

“As a member of the NWC of our great party, I am shocked and embarrassed at this disclosure, as the NWC had never discussed nor taken any such decision. As a political party, positions are only zoned in the PDP after they have been robustly debated by all six zones and unanimously agreed on as serving the best interest of the unity of the party and national exigencies. As such, the NWC of our party cannot allow Senator Suswam to pass across personal wishes as collective resolve, except if it is a case of the bird dancing by the road with the drummer lurking in the nearby bush. The statement amounts to one being a judge in his case, which offends all known laws of natural justice.”

Also, a leading pan-Igbo organisation, Igbo Leadership Development Foundation (ILDF), lambasted Suswam for saying the PDP would zone the office to the North in 2023, advising him not to insult Igbo sensibilities.

The group accused the former Benue governor of “uncanny and overly ambitious interests” and of “flying a dangerous kite that would finally sink the PDP.”

Suswam, in an exclusive interview on Sunday, held that since the PDP failed to win the 2019 presidential election, which it zoned to the North, the party would still retain the ticket in the region since it did not win.

A statement by director of public affairs for ILDF, Dr. Law Mefor, in Abuja, yesterday, queried the rationale behind Suswam’s claim that the PDP was bound to zone the President to the North in 2023.

The group said such utterances and scheming go a long way in confirming the lack of commitment to a single term for the party’s candidate in 2019 in order for a South East candidate to be fielded in 2023.

“The fact that the Senator Ike Ekweremadu-led PDP post-election review panel, in its wisdom, zoned the 2019 presidential ticket to the North to assuage the region’s feelings over the earlier breach of the zoning formula and to ensure that a fellow northerner squared up with President Muhammadu Buhari does not in any way mean that the ticket is now resident in the North. Feigning ignorance of the fact that the dynamics that informed the 2019 zoning have absolutely changed because the North has had two straight terms under President Buhari is most unfortunate.

“It is saddening that Suswam and his drummers ignored the monumental contributions of the South East to the fortunes of the PDP since its inception by sticking with the party through thick and thin. The region has not only contributed immensely to the party’s presidential victories in four straight presidential elections, but was also the bastion of the opposition and rebuilding of the party since 2015.”

Mefor faulted Suswam’s idea of power rotation and warned the lawmaker and the PDP against taking the support of the South East and the South generally for granted.

Gandollaar:
Reno and FFK kept Tinubu in the political wilderness of opposition for 16 Fvcking years!!

And just after 5 years in national politics, dude is already honing his plan b because, y'all are going back home

Worst part, is, home is no longer as strong as it used to be. The walls have cracked and the brave ones got their Independence.

Gandollaar:
Even buhari can't do what?? Why give the Sudanese too much credit?

Lol! Buhari is not a politician for starters, Tinubu is Buharis godfather! Only that as soon as he won, he abandoned Tinubu.

Tinubu is not greater than Awolowo and Abiola that had been lab rats for fulanis at one point or the other. Chill!

Gandollaar:
Warreffs!

it's time to go home for SW APC, the job don knock!

Buhari no gree die!

proeast:
Really!? But it was given to the SW in 1999 or were you still a child then?

Pretend as you may, the argument is strong enough and it has burst your bubbles of delusions.
Did you notice your brothers who were hitherto beating their dry chests as "kingmakers' have mellowed with sober words like...

.... "let us worry about 2023',
..... "Vote who you like, we will vote who like",
.... 'even if we yorubas lose, nothing spoil"

Bwahahaha! we will keep jolting you with shocks of reality. This forum is not your Baba iroyin newspaper hang-out joint where you go to deceive yourselves with delusion de grandeur

We sabi una pass as una sabi unaself.

We know fake smileys when we see one.

Don't just stop at shouting "SW 2023". Show us powerful non-SW politicians who are keen on yoruba presidency. Just one.

Ol'boy na only una go vote unaself. Stop your emotional daydreaming and be realistic. Lol

AlabiJ:
Wike is the real godfather of PDP so we should be expecting Obaseki defection announcement any moment from now. If Wike does not support Atiku's ambition this coming 2023, he should just forget it because even the PDP chairman is Wike's boy.

cosef:
Oga I have asked you to name just one northern politician or religious leader that has come out to promote yoruba presidency. Just one.

You are talking about "northerners promoting Tinubu as presidency" on social media, why not give us the link? Or you afraid that they'll be bursted and exposed as yoruba impostors who are notorious for creating fake profile with different ethnicities to push their false narratives and propaganda like you've been caught doing here severally.

pazienza:
Not more tribalist than the Yoruba Muslim called Mynd44.
But you don't seem to have any problem with him.

Moreover Afam position on this thread was a rational one. Even the Yoruba resident tribalist Aljharem who was a PDP apologist agreed then.

Amosun ,Ambode and Okorocha were hated by his people...Edo people love obaseki and hate Oshiomhole.
