OhiOfIhima: my brother, declaring the election inconclusive is rigging. They couldn't change the figure because PDP already has it that was why they opted for the inconclusive rigging option 1 Like 1 Share |

People are quick to forget. in 2015 Kogi election was declared inconclusive even when late Audu was ahead of his PDP opponent and the same INEC conducted re-run. Maurice Iwu declared Obasanjo winner of an election that was still under collation. emmatuxz: 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=emmatuxz post=71483912]A former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu, has faulted the declaration of the Osun governorship election that held on September 22 as inconclusive. Iwu, who was in office from June 2005 to April 2010, spoke on Sunday following the declaration of the guber poll as inconclusive due to vote difference by the Chief Returning Officer, Prof. Joseph Afuwape. According to the former INEC boss, “Actually, in 2010 during the review of INEC’s Elections’ Manual, my committee and I as the chair, invented the inconclusive elections outcomes, particularly where elections did not hold for one reason or the other. “However, we the initiators of the inconclusive elections realised that our proposal was against the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as Amended), particularly the presidential and the governorship elections and returns. “Our proposals could be applied only in senatorial, House of Representatives, and state assembly elections and returns, for which the Constitution did not specify how these returns should be made. “In this, what is required by the Constitution is that the ‘first past the post’ and/or that the candidate must have the polled majority of the votes cast. “Secondly, that the candidate in addition to it, must obtain 25 per cent of the total votes cast in two-third of the LGAs of the state in question or of the states in case of presidential election. The electoral act or INEC guidelines cannot supersede the constitutional provisions for that purpose. “As the constitution has clearly spelt out the manner and how a return should be made in the cases of governorship or presidential election returns. “Now that the abuse of this tool is becoming obvious, the beneficiaries of this anomaly have refused to listen or adjust accordingly. “God will surely help us.” https://thewhistler.ng/amp/story/former-inec-chair-says-osun-election-was-conclusive/ [JUST A REMINDER!!! In 2015, the Late Abubakar Audu of Kogi State was leading by 240, 867 votes to PDP 199,514 votes, the margin of 41,353 favoured APC but it was declared inconclusive. Rerun was fixed because 49,953 canceled votes was higher than the 41,353 despite the fact that APC was leading with what is called a giant margin! Nobody shouts rather we waited patiently for the re-run date!. I hereby employ PDP to do the same for democracy to work perfectly in Nigeria. Copied 2 Likes |

I'm not surprise at apc strategy at all I knew when declaration of osun result suddenly became Mount Everest that inec can no longer climb I knew the worst is about to happened and I was never wrong. In Edo and Imo they did same thing. apc can never win freely without rigging or stealing votes in Nigeria. It's a shame and they are calling for accolade for Buhari pls which accolade? Accolade for playing smart pretending as if all is well whereas he and his crook party knew what they will do to win via stealing and result alteration? Accolade my foot. Either apc likes it or not they will surely go into extinct in this country I don't bloody care is AA or AD or PPK send them.packing all I care for is they must be defeated and sweep out of this country. 1 Like 1 Share |

Maurice Iwu that conducted the worst elections in the history of mankind is talking. Iwu that conducted a presidential election without serial numbers against common sense and electoral law can open his mouth and some people will listen. Maurice Iwu that conducted the house of assembly and governorship elections on the same day with voters voting in the same venue at the same time but with two different ballot papers. When Iwu discovered the governorship election was not going the way PDP envisaged, he cancelled the whole governorship elections in the state citing violence but upheld the house of assembly elections. This was what happened in Maurice Iwu's home state of Imo in 14th of April, 2007. Maurice Iwu that conducted an election that even the winner( Umaru Yar'adua) accepted that it was flawed. People like Maurice Iwu should be shot. 1 Like |

Different opinions from different backgrounds, all painted to nothing. The concerns authority has put seal on the election till Thursday. God preserve everyone of us more than that day. There must be a winner at the end of the day. We are only too eager to conclude. |

OhiOfIhima: Its logical to think that way but the 1999 consitutions does not agree with you. I think your answer is in what Iwu said “However, we the initiators of the inconclusive elections realised that our proposal was against the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as Amended), particularly the presidential and the governorship elections and returns. in this instance, according to the constitution, there can only be a re-run if it as to do with senate, house of rep etc not governorship and presidential that constitution clearly states how to run and win. 1 Like |
