Professors Now assist Illiterates To Rig Elections - Peter Obi by fergie001(mod): 4:49pm On Aug 11

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has criticised the state of Nigeria’s electoral and judicial institutions, accusing professors of aiding electoral malpractice, lawmakers of weakening electoral laws and senior lawyers of defending forgery.

Obi spoke on Tuesday at the 2026 Goodluck Jonathan Foundation Democracy Dialogue in Bauchi, the Bauchi State capital, where he contrasted his experience challenging his election in court with what he described as the deterioration of the country’s institutions.

“I went to the Court of Appeal; five judges I had never met gave judgment in my favour. So, if you look at that and look at what is happening today in Nigeria, where professors are now aiding illiterates to rig elections,” Obi said.

He added, “Where lawmakers have removed forgery as an offence in electoral matters. And Senior Advocates of Nigeria are defending forgery. Our religious leaders are now praying for criminal politicians for blessing. We have a crisis.”

Obi also took aim at the judiciary, alleging that some judges had become politically aligned.

“And above all, our judges are now singing, On your mandate we stand,’” he said.

The former Anambra State Governor said the developments were a sign of a wider institutional crisis that needed to be reversed.

It’s only those who support a certificate forger, especially those who claim to have attended a school four years before it was established, who can have the audacity to call Peter Obi a third-class graduate

Peter Obi doesn't know what it takes to be a Professor that's why he is demeaning the title. It is however not surprising coming from a third class graduate like him who doesn't know the meaning of green energy.

Professor, teacher no teach me nonsense. 2+2 = 44. Let's not forget that at one time, 16 became greater than 19 occurred during the controversial Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) chairmanship election on May 24, 2013.

Repost 👇

Thank you for this thread. Let me repost this
There has been so much confusion over the reportage of this issue and I am so disappointed in the media. It is not electronic voting, it is ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION of results. They have tried to use this confusion to mislead people with e-voting. Is it this NASS that did not allow diaspora to vote that wants to give electronic voting huh

They should start with electronic voting at the Senate first instead of relying on voice vote but these guys we have there now can't. They can never because you can't give what you don't have. Honor is not sold in the market neither is you calling yourself distinguished distinguish you from any cowardly behaviour.

The media is doing a bad work in not reporting the issues properly. I have seen people like Reno mislead the public about the issue. The SP too has said some things when he talks down Nigerians the usual way. Nigerians do not vote electronically, the people are saying cut the amount of manual intervention you have in collation.

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your PVC
3. Before election day, you see your name Ong the list of registered voters
4. On election day, you register to vote (this is called accreditation) where the PO confirms that you are on the list of registered voters and it is not someone else
5. You cast your ballot secretly.
6. The PO counts the votes, that IS, ALL the paper you voted for, then writes the results.
This is where Nigerians want the results to be electronically transmitted.
7. This result is announced and a copy normally should be posted for you at your PU
8. The PO takes the counted result that was signed by the party agents and herself to the collation centre

This is where Nigerians saw the magomago. This is why you see the APC guys boast of polling agents. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we need too many people to count votes in 2026. Let me not distract from my essay. Check the quoted post I have below.

There are two collation centres. There's ward collation centre and state collation centre. It is at these places counting magic happens. You see all those things the Professors do on TV? They are only counting LG results for each state. They are also checking if there were any other electoral issues that can lead to some results not counted or cancelled.

What INEC promised at the last election is that with Irev you can see your PU result live. You can even audit the election result for each ward and do your own counting for the LG. But the APC and their abracadabra manipulated your result. So while you were counting after step 5, they saw the live results, did their own counting and gave you the figures they wanted. That's why INEC announced results of the election at night. That's where you saw numbers changed at Irev portal. If party A had 12, they put 6 in front of it and made it 612. That is why the Irev portal had glitch. The glitch was the fraudulent excuse to tamper with the result, change it and have their own numbers. They had to delay the loading to iRev portal so you won't be able to dispute the results. Only a thief at night steals it, snatches it and runs away with it to announce that the white they stole at nibjt is now Ariel clean in the morning.

With electronic transmission, Nigeria will reduce massively how much money we spend on elections. Our elections are only expensive because people simply want to cheat, QED! It's a bloody waste of time recruiting so many people just to count numbers, shey we no de shame? Chai

For those of them that bring that useless video of Elon Musk not trusting electronic voting, please read below. They intentionally omitted the part where US does not conduct its election like ours. They work on trust because from birth you already have an ID and government knows when you turn 18.

SixSeven:
They should even pity the fasting Muslims and Christians and allow them vote from their phones. After all, the same people can vote Big Brother and there is no transmission error. When it is bad things, they will be giving us examples of bad things in USA, showing us Elon Musk videos. When it's good things we can copy from USA, they hide. USA that does not have voter registration or PVC card for every voter, the system sends it to your address because of government data, they skip the process and want to put a wool over our eyes.

The US election has been compromised because there is no registration or accreditation.Nigeria has voter ID, America does not have. We used those because of fraud after seeing Mike Tyson voting in previous elections. We should be leading and the world should be copying us but they want us to remain in level Zero for long 🤡

Nigeria will close its borders, close work just to count numbers. Something that should not be so in 21st century if not for fraud and manipulation magomago dem wan do. It's a big shame that adults cannot count numbers Na professor go de count numbers. Agbaya people. Simple thing, dem turn am to billions. Big disgrace.

That doesn’t change the fact that Nigerian professors are aiding and abetting electoral malpractices. If not for that FUTO professor that stood her ground and refused to be intimidated and bribed, Abia state would have gone to PDP.

5.5m/year is not something to brag about bro.

You can't even afford a good second-hand car or get married with that.

Stop bragging with things like that.

I was earning a little more than that as far back as 2012 as a student when I started my business and I still considered my self poor...
5.5 a year is still poor bro.
Be calming down....

All the same we hope for a better Nigeria as Jagaban continues till 2031....
