Reputable media outlet like BBC?
It could be an Obi supporter making that report on BBC.
We know alot of Nîgeriàns work for different news outlets even CNN has one who loves bending the narrative in Obi's favor.
Obi's other votes were taken in Katsina, Borno, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara etc, Obi won the election, he won all 36 states, he was just rîggèd out.
The story was written by a Nigerian who loves Obi and works for BBC? Seriously?

Are you aware there were 3 contributors to that report and only one is Igbo?

Are you aware that there are people called editors in Media establishments? These guys approve every story before it’s published. And in this instance, this story was published by BBC World News which means a global editor approved it.

Or do you think BBC is Linda Ikeji Blog?

You are just a baby with a fantasy.

Do you think LP didn't rig the election at all?

You should be more worried of APC going on the offensive, right now APC is just docile waiting to defend any allegations being brought by the opposition because APC think it's not necessary yet to attack in court.

Some evidence of rigging and election malpractice of LP is everywhere on the net.

But the fact still remains that Obi is the least of the 3 front runners and the least likely to emerge the winner among them.

If Obi should go on a rerun with either Tinubu or Atiku, he will only have his fan boys and mobs like you to count on for votes but he will lose millions of votes he got in the previous election due to everything that has played out so far since February 25th including the recent pattern of abuse from his mobs which they've taken to important dignitaries like the Ooni, pastor Adeboye and Soyinka.
Labour Party did not rig anywhere at all sir.

Obi got organic votes.

And if the elections are conducted one million times, Obi will still get all his votes and even more.

so 100% people registered to vote n none died, none relocated, none was sick, none was busy, none was in d hospital

All of them that registered came out to vote

U igbos always think u are wise n others are foolish, many people are waiting for u n your obi in court

Even in some part of imo that the government n electorates made it clear that voting didn’t happen, Peter obi still won with 98%
The way you people reason can sometimes always makes one wonder how some of you process data and information.

Anambra for instance has over 2million registered voters but only about less than 600k people came out to vote. However, out of the over 500k that came out, Obi scored 98% of their votes. I’m sure you thought they said Obi got 98% of all registered voters in Anambra. Chai🤦.

The party agents themselves did the rigging.

In Anambra nobody will go against rigging for labor party, pdp and apc agents dare not talk so as not to be lynched.

APC is not just interested in attacking LP with rigging allegations for now. They want to report their victory in court and move on

Study this polling unit sheet and say your observations

Lol!

Let me tell you something…

You are even seeing this low number of votes from the Southeast because INEC systematically frustrated Eastern voters by not deploying electoral materials in time which made some voters go home. In other places, electoral materials never arrived but miraculously votes emerged for APC from there.

I am telling you authoritatively today that all of us Obi supporters are in support for Southeast votes to be canceled and election redone.

But this time, election materials should arrive early across all polling units in the Southeast and results should be transmitted directly to IREV from PUs.

We also want CNN, BBC, Arise and Channels to cover it live.

You would be shocked at the votes Obi would get this time around.

The question now is, can you agree for the same thing to be done in Southwest and across other regions of the country?

Not just just rivers. PODATTI votes of many other states where outrightly manipulated and added to tinubu.
In Lagos PODATTI got almost ten times of what tinubu got. The numbers put our are altered.

Most important is the fact that tinubu did not meet the constitutional requirement to be sworn in. Swearing him in is destroying democracy in Nigeria.

That is the foundation of 're tidying the whole election.

Tinubu did not win lagos .
He did not win abuja
He did not win rivers.
He did not win any of the kkk states in north.
This alone should tell you that tinubu did not win the elections. I am not even sure he came second.
The numbers called for him by yakubu are manufactured numbers mostly stolen from PODATTI votes and added to the election criminal.
The moment is it proved beyond reasonable doubt that Rivers results were carelessly tempered with, inec defense will be week, which will affect APC defense as well.

The ongoing Tribunal is just an academic exercise.

Tinubu won fair and square.
The most important fact now is that APC and agbadorians have accepted that they rigged the elections in Rivers state and that Peter Obi won Rivers.

That one step. Today is still 16th of May. There will be more evidences.

LP votes were reduced in Adamawa, Plateau, Lagos, Taraba, Bauchi, Borno, Yobe, Benue, Kaduna and so many others....

They did Obi bad thin in the North..

Obi won about 14-16 states, Rivers, Benue, Taraba but different candidate was announced winner..
It is a settled matter that mere allegations are not evidence...but obliging you,in obi petition,the claimed he won benue against tinubu by 20k votes meaning other places where his votes were suppressed up north were irrelevant

If obi couldn't get up to 1 mil here in his anambra,why are you claiming he got over a million in plateau with less reg voters?

Are you unaware of the fact that the Southeast has historically shown apathy to elections which affects their turnout for elections while the opposite is the case in Plateau which accounted for why there possibly would have been more voter turnout in Plateau?

Re: Can Rivers Votes Change Anything For Obi If It’s Added To His Tally? by ejimatic: 5:46pm On May 16, 2023
Penguin2:
One of the, if not the only, line of defense of Tinubu supporters since incontrovertible evidences emerged that Peter Obi won Rivers but INEC criminally called it for Tinubu as has been reported by a lot of reputable media platforms including the BBC, is that “even if the Rivers result is added to Obi, he will still not be above Tinubu.”

One of them (Ireportlive) even went as far as admitting that Lagos was equally rigged for Tinubu but that even if both Lagos and Rivers results are given to Obi (the original owner by the way), he’d still top Tinubu.

But are there really no implication to these reports of Obi winning Rivers? Is it as easy as Tinubu supporters are trying to make it sound? I guess not.

The first thing to consider here is that if the evidences become overwhelming that the PEPT was convinced that Peter Obi won Rivers, and they decide to add the state to him, the implication is that Tinubu will be left with 11 states where he secured victory while Obi will now move to 13 states. What this means is that if at the end of the Tribunals, the courts decide to order a run off, it will now be between Tinubu who won simple majority of votes and Peter Obi who won most states of 13 against Atiku’s 12.

Furthermore, if Obi is able to prove in court that it is not only Rivers State that his votes were taken, that it happened in other states, and the court agrees to recalculate the numbers, Obi might not end up topping Tinubu but he’d most likely end up displacing Atiku to become the second person in the election. The implication of this is that in the event that Tinubu is disqualified, for whichever of the many rounds seeking his disqualification, it is Peter Obi, not Atiku, that would then become the direct beneficiary of his disqualification.

Then lastly, if it can be proven that INEC manipulated results in Rivers to favour Tinubu, how are we sure it is not what they did nationwide? INEC would have to show cause why it should not be believed that they used the Rivers template nationwide in support of Tinubu.

So, my point is that Tinubu supporters should not take the reports of Obi winning Rivers as inconsequential. It has the tendency to cause a spiral that could further nail Tinubu’s chances.

Nyesom Wike was more of a curse to Tinubu than a blessing. He’d end up being Tinubu’s undertaker.

just leave them

100% registered to vote in d east n 100% voted

No canceled vote
None of d electorates died
None was in d hospital
None was busy
None relocated
None wasn’t interested
Even in some imo where it was made clear people didn’t vote due to insecurity Peter obi still won with 98%


Just leave them, many of them are first time voters who really don’t know anything about election, they have minor knowledge of what it entails n how it is done

Since they have access to internet they can do anything they like

Reality will wake them up again like it did after election

At least you have admitted that the Nigerian state have lied against the Southeast and erroneously misrepresented the strength of the north.

I will still tell you you authoritatively, like I always do, that the day Igbos start getting interested in elections and go to register for PVC and come out to vote, you’d see the true numbers and strengths of each region of this country.

The systematic lies that has been told against the Igbos for decades will not last forever.

We are not talking about turnout,we are talking about which states gave him the highest.plateau never gave him over a million as you guys are busy peddling.infact,obj and gej won the north central and were even more popular in nc but never got up to a million in plateau. So how come obi got up to a million? Historically,the nc turnout has never even reached 50%. Talkless of the fact that obi got less than 400k in benue,nasarawa or abj.no state recorded up to 45% turnout,highest was 42% by jigawa which has been consistent since 2003.the total votes in plateau is the true reflection of things.even the guber polls recorded 1.2 mil votes consistent with the presidential poll

How can we not be talking about turnout when it is turnout that produces the votes?

And going by the data for the Plateau governorship election which recorded 1.2million votes, do you not think it’s possible the presidential election recorded even more with majority of voters voting in one direction for Obi which could have truly given Obi the above 1million votes as some are claiming?

Tinubu was inexistent in Plateau before the election that’s why even Plateau indigenes are are marveled at the votes allotted to Tinubu in Plateau because they know they didn’t vote for him.

Or have you forgotten the Plateau man that had to flee after DSS tried arrest because of his open protest of results from Plateau?
