Una no want real-time transmission again?

Iwaeda will be very sad for the death of their foot soldiers

benardtotti:
The funny thing is the official adc situation room looked organised, neat and orderly , but take a look at the Obidients room , disorganised, cramped , the TV has no signal, it's a perfect reflection of the online mob .

Now you understand why most governors and politicians would rather port to apc , infact after Saturday's event, more politicians who were undecided before will jump to apc sharply.

You know I was about making this same observation regarding the situation room. Everything about them is just anyhow and seriously betrays what they portray online

Basic123:
The number of people behind computers in that situation room is more than agents on the field!

Which shows that they are more interested in gathering likes on nairaland ans twitter!

Infact,that last girl computer in the situation room was is showing nairaland page

….and they actually won on nairaland but eye-neck failed to transmit in real-time

Jayhome24:
We warned atiku never to involve obi ever again in his political dream but he never listened and this is what atiku son saw and he quit adc and join apc.

No sane human will want to do anything with obidient..

It is the desperation for Obi’s tribal base votes that’s not making Alhaji think straight

As far as I’m concerned, ADC won that election. I pray they give Obi the ticket after the primaries, Tinubu won’t bother to contest

These two camps do not just disagree on tactics. They disagree on the fundamental nature of what Nigeria's opposition is supposed to be. One camp wants to restore the old PDP order. The other wants to break the old order entirely. That is not a negotiable difference. That is a philosophical war. And you cannot win a presidential election while fighting a philosophical war inside your own party.

What kind of contradiction is the bolded? What is Obi doing in the midst of the ‘old order’ he allegedly wants to break permanently?
You see why the sane minds and the intelligentsia are not buying into your Obi hype?

debosalau:
OGD was a governor in Ogun state for eight years but we can hardly point to any capital project he did.

You must be a kid when OGD was governor of Ogun

Even ADC too is coming back big and strong, going by their Gwarinpa and TradeMall votes

Freetech:
Peter Obi is a spent force.

The electoral value is dwindling by day

How he thinks being negative about Nigeria will give him a win surprised me

He and Atiku must sack their PR - they are doing more damage than good.

Obi was never a force to begin with. The fluke performance of 2023 was a combination of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, protest votes from EndSARS, and tribal solidarity that gave him 90% SE votes

Sugarboyy:
Would you have made same assertion of Dr. Mo had won?
In the whole of Abuja, ADC couldn't win a single councillorship seats, and you are here ranting like a wailer
Your opinion doesn't matter, you guys are losers

Please don’t mind that boy, he’s a covert Obidient disguising as a neutral because he knows once that is made public, all his voodoo economic postulations and criticisms against every single government policies would henceforth be viewed from the angle of parochialism and partisanship

nairalanda1:
You APC guys should stop gloating...people are voting for you because they don't want to lose their share of the national cake. It doesn't mean that you are doing well governing wise (and no, I am no obidient, na your mirror image dem be).

He must have struck a nerve in Mr neutral and apolitical. The only time you ever sermonize is when APC and Tinubu supporters rebuff the recalcitrant Obidients. Man, it must be really agonizing experience for you to keep claiming neutral while the “APC boys” keep lashing out at your party

What I usually don’t understand is that despite all these negative reviews and indices about Lagos, you all still keep rushing to the place. Doesn’t that say a lot about where you are all escaping from?

But one Ikeshuku under his motorcycle shed in Abakaliki is shouting rigging

I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life.

Mobs everywhere - Faceless mob, headless mob

You should have by now known that your polls on nairaland are meaningless and of no effect in real life

Obidients won’t be happy with this woman

A free and fair election

The coalition should swear to an oath before subsequent elections

Who sabotaged who? Answers needed

What do you think about this

In the aftermath of the humiliating defeat the ADC candidates suffered at yesterday’s FCT council elections, there were accusations of sabotage against coalition candidates by both camps. Enjoy the melee that ensued in the screenshots 😆

Helpfromabove1:
The noise about local government elections is just too much

Online noise is more than on ground mobilization of voters

And this will happen again in the general elections

Obidients made it so, so we keep up the energy

What about Dr Mo’s picture? He won on nairaland at least

avalancheMedia:
They came with pens and correction fluid. Not guns, not soldiers — just ink, Tipp-Ex, and the quiet confidence of people who knew nobody would stop them. Across polling units in Abuja Municipal Area Council, official INEC result sheets from the February 21, 2026 FCT Area Council Elections were altered to swing votes massively in favour of the APC. Numbers were crossed out and replaced. Figures were inflated beyond what mathematics or voter turnout could possibly justify. In one case, a candidate's votes were wiped off entirely with correction fluid, as cleanly as if they had never existed. This is the story of how an election was stolen in Nigeria's capital city, and why it matters far beyond Abuja.


The Results That Don't Add Up

At Kutunku Women Centre in Gwagwalada, Polling Unit 025, the unit had 106 accredited voters and 105 total valid votes. Those numbers are fixed. They cannot stretch. Yet according to the official INEC Form EC 8A with Serial Number 0000081, APC's recorded votes were changed from 6 to 67, while ADC's votes were slashed from 10 to just 1. In a polling unit with 105 valid votes, APC jumped from 6 percent of the vote to over 60 percent. Sixty-one votes appeared from nowhere. Nine ADC votes simply disappeared.

At Piwoyi Primary School II in Gwarinpa, Polling Unit 157, Serial Number 0000802, the unit had 94 accredited voters and 93 valid votes. APC received zero votes from the people at this polling unit. Not a disappointing performance. Not a bad day. Zero. Yet the figure submitted shows 80 votes for APC, representing 86 percent of the entire unit. At the same time, ADC's score was cut from 17 to just 6. In a 93-vote polling unit, 80 votes for a party that received none is not a clerical error. It is a manufactured result.

At Enugu Street by Habadan in Garki, Polling Unit 036, Serial Number 0000187, no pen was needed. The method chosen here was correction fluid. A screenshot shared on X by journalist Morris Monye shows the INEC IREV portal entry for this unit with 54 accredited voters. ADC's figure was not crossed out or reduced. It was obliterated. White correction fluid was applied directly to an official electoral document, and the votes beneath it were erased from existence. This is not sloppiness. This is destruction of evidence on a government form.

At Jabi Maje Primary School in Gwarinpa, Polling Unit 015, Serial Number 0000660, the unit had 138 accredited voters and 135 valid votes. APC's votes went from 8 to 86, a jump of 78 votes. That single inflation handed APC nearly 58 percent of every vote cast in that unit from a party that reportedly earned fewer than 10.

At Karshi II, Market Square Karshi, Polling Unit 002, Serial Number 0000996, the unit recorded 227 accredited voters and 224 valid votes. APC scored 1 vote at this unit. Just one. That single vote was transformed into 179. One hundred and seventy-eight votes were added to a party that the voters of Karshi II overwhelmingly rejected. NNPP's 73 and PDP's 12 look credible against that turnout. APC's 179 does not.

These are not isolated incidents scattered randomly across the map. They are a pattern, running through Gwagwalada, Gwarinpa, Garki and Karshi, covering different wards, different presiding officers and different parts of the municipal area, all bending in the same direction and all benefiting the same party.


Why the Collation Centre, Not the Booth

None of these alterations happened at the polling booth where party agents, INEC officials and members of the public were watching. They happened during collation, in a controlled environment with far fewer witnesses and far less scrutiny. This is not a coincidence. It is a structural vulnerability that was deliberately preserved.

Real-time electronic transmission of results was designed to close exactly this gap. When a presiding officer uploads figures directly from the polling unit the moment counting ends, those numbers are timestamped, locked and public before anyone can touch them. The push to remove mandatory electronic transmission from Nigeria's Electoral Act was fought over loudly and publicly. Those who removed it said it was about logistics. Critics said it was about opportunity. The result sheets coming out of AMAC polling units in 2026 confirm which side was telling the truth.


The INEC Delay and What It Signals

While results from other FCT area councils were announced, the Abuja Municipal results were held back. INEC declared APC victorious elsewhere while AMAC sat in limbo. The official explanation was administrative. Observers tracking the figures believe the delay served a different purpose, creating time to ensure the submitted tallies were internally consistent before formal announcement. When the results finally arrived, APC had won Municipal too. The timing of that announcement, coming after every other result had been declared, raised questions that have not been answered.


Vote Buying and the Tribalism Weapon

On the ground during the election, something else was happening that veteran Abuja observers say they had never witnessed at this scale. Vote buying was open and unapologetic, cash exchanging hands in public queues without pretence. Abuja's electorate has historically been different, more civic-minded, more resistant to the transactional politics common in other states. That resistance was targeted deliberately and systematically.

Alongside the money came messaging. The ADC candidate was not an FCT indigene, and APC-aligned voices made sure voters knew it. Yet in 2023, Ireti Kingibe, also not an FCT indigene, won in Abuja and nobody raised the question. The indigene argument only became relevant in 2026 when it was useful. Introducing ethnic identity politics into federal capital territory is not just a campaign tactic. It is an attack on the foundational idea that Abuja belongs to all Nigerians.


The Real Stakes: 2027

This election was never just about who chairs Abuja Municipal. It was a test. A dry run for 2027, conducted in the most visible and scrutinised political environment in Nigeria, to see what could be gotten away with and how cleanly it could be done.

APC currently controls around 30 state governments and the number keeps rising as politicians calculate where safety lies before the next presidential cycle. Each governor commands state machinery, local government structures and party networks. If result sheets can be altered at collation in Nigeria's capital, with civil society watching and journalists present, what happens across 30 states where access is harder, witnesses are fewer and the press is thinner on the ground?

The correction fluid used on that Enugu Street result sheet dried quickly. The votes underneath it are gone. Whether the people responsible for what happened across these polling units face any consequences will determine whether this was a one-time crime or the opening chapter of something far more dangerous in 2027.

This propagandist is @CryptoVerse36 on twitter

Obi and his structure of criminality in ADC were defeated in real-time

LMAO. This ADC score won’t even be enough to admit anyone into a 3rd tier University
APC and Wike delivered the humiliation to them in real-time

You don’t want real-time transmission again?

Honestly this Tinubu is marginalizing we Ibos. He even went as far as removing our language from the list of most spoken languages. We will pay him back with our votes in 2027

This eye-neck is compromised. Why did they leave out nairaland votes out of IREV and final calculations?
We must fight this injustice!

Transmission in Real-time Party (TRP) no win anything?
