The Rivers State governor-elect, Nyesom Wike
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might
have landed in serious trouble following a
recent document released by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the
April 11 gubernatorial poll in the state.

It is said that, except the five governorship
candidates challenging the credibility of the
gubernatorial poll withdraw their cases from
the election petition tribunal or fail to present
material evidence, Wike, who was declared
winner of the poll is as good as gone.
According to the result declared by the
Returning Officer (RO) for Rivers State,
Osasere Orumwense, on April 13, Wike was
awarded 1,029,102 votes, representing 87.77
per cent of 1,228,614, being the conjured
number of total accredited voters.

However, according to a 94-page INEC
endorsed document exclusively obtained by
Premium Times, the total number of accredited
voters for the April 11 guber election in Rivers
state was 292, 878.
The document was signed by the acting
director in charge of INEC Legal Unit, Ibrahim
Bawa and the head of unit, Data Management,
of the commission’s Information
Communication Territory Department, Abimbola
Oladunjoye.

Premium Times reports that it is practically
impossible for Wike or any other candidates in
the election to garner votes exceeding the total
number of accredited voters, much less
amassing such hyper-inflated figure of
1,029,102 awarded to Wike.
In Nigeria’s current electoral system, INEC’s
central server automatically generates figures
of voters accredited with the electronic Smart
Card Readers and Permanent Voters’ Cards
across the polling units.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, prior to
the election had explained that, card reader
was to prevent electoral fraud, especially
falsification of number of accredited voters to
inflate number of votes cast, as in the case of
PDP and Wike, and INEC in Rivers State.

Insiders in INEC, who spoke to Premium Times
said, the number of accredited voters
generated by the commission’s central server
is the authentic number for the Rivers state
April 11 elections, adding that it would
impossible for anyone to justify the excess
votes allocated to Wike.
In the document, detailing polling unit by
polling unit analysis of actual voters’
accreditation for the election, none of the 23
Local Government Areas (LGAs) had up to 51,
000 accredited voters.
Rivers State is currently delineated into 319
Registration Areas (Wards) and 4,442 polling
units.

Port Harcourt LGA had the highest number of
accredited voters with 50, 962, while Khana
LGA had just 145 registered voters turning up
for accreditation.
The LGA by LGA analysis of the accredited
votes shows that Obio/Akpor had 40,481
accredited voters and it was the only LGA with
more than 40,000 but lower than 50,000.
Ogba/Egbema/Ndonu LGA had 24,816
accredited voters, while Ikwere LGA had
22,274.

Meanwhile, seven LGAs had between 10,000
and 20,000 accredited voters, according to the
INEC endorsed document.
They comprised Ahoada East (16,116
accredited voters); Ahoada West (16,369);
Bonny (15,503); Degema (16,993); Akuku-Toru
(12,439); Andoni (13,530); and Gokana
(12,127).

Others are Asari-Toru (7,328); Emohua
(5,014); Okrika (8,790); Opobo Nekoro (7,313);
and Oyingbo (9,503); Abual-Odual (2,054);
Omuma (1,998); Etche (1,268); Eleme (3,530);
Khana (145); Ogu/Bolo (903); and Tai (3,362).
But, sources in the INEC office said the only
logical explanation that can be rendered for
the increased number of accredited voters
exceeding 292,887, is if manual accreditation
was used in addition to the use of card
readers.

But, INEC did not approve the use of manual
accreditation for governorship election in any
of the states of the Federation.
Reacting to the development, the Chief Press
Secretary to INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, on
Friday May 8, confirmed that manual
accreditation was not employed in any state
for the April 11 elections.
The petitioners challenging Wike’s purported
victory at the election petition tribunal are
Kemka Elenwo (KOWA party), Dakuku Peterside
(APC), Charles Harry, (APGA) and Minaibim
Harry (SDP) .
The All Progressive Congress (APC), election
observers, and European Union Election
Observation Mission to Nigeria’s 2015
elections, had condemned the elections in
Rivers State, alleging violence and several
irregularities.

In a separate development, Jega, on Friday
said the electoral umpire has no power to
cancel Rivers and Akwa Ibom states polls,
saying: “it is only the election petition
tribunals that can order that or even cancelled
the elections. We would advice anyone who is
aggrieved to go to the court.”
It was earlier reported that Nigeria’s First
Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan allegedly took
undue advantage of her husband’s position
to rig Rivers State election .

Borrussia:

Do the election again lets see if Dakuku can garner up to 15%.

Osasere Orumwense, on April 13, Wike was
awarded 1,029,102 votes, representing 87.77

Haba! They will never rig with sense.

the question we are failing to ask is how many votes did the other candidates get?

we can know who cheated and who didnt

maybe the best rigger won.

With your dead brain you did not read where it was stated clearly that INEC never authorized manual registration for the governorship elections ?

When is Weak Wike going to Congo?

Dreamers ..Come May, 29 ..Wike will be sworn in.

Somebody asked a valid question here ..How many votes did Dakuku Peterside garner

Nigga go and read it again. Manual accreditiom didn't take place

Mogidi:
Do the election again lets see if Dakuku can garner up to 15%.

Then why did he(wike) rig and even killed innocent voters?

See Gbege for rivers. Amaechi my wise model!!!!!

abduljabbar4:
Nigga go and read it again. Manual accreditiom didn't take place

by the electorate on voting day!

That was why they fought so hard against the use of card readers. All thanks to the coolest Jega!

Now this is getting really intense.
