PoliticsNGR earlier today learned that Professor Okey Ibeanu, a commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has been invited by the Department of State Security Services, DSS.

Ibeanu is reportedly expected to arrive at DSS offices in Abuja at 2 pm on Wednesday. In the past week, Ibeanu's house in Enugu has been broken into, his car vandalized and his laptop and Ipad stolen.

However, in a telephone chat with our correspondent, Spokesman for the Department of State Security Services,DSS, Peter Afunanya denied knowledge of the invitation.

He simply said "I am not aware of that".

let this not distract you from the fact that the head of logistics at INEC for this election is an Hausa Fulani Moslem by name Adamu Muazu

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday inaugurated two ad hoc committees as part of its preparations for the 2019 general elections.

The two committees, Electoral Logistics and Collation Centre, were inaugurated by the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

The Electoral Logistics Committee is chaired by INEC National Commissioner,‎ Retired AVM Ahmed Mu’azu; with INEC Director of Stores as Secretary.



The committee on Results Collation is chaired by another National Commissioner, Amina Zakari and INEC Director, Commission’s Secretariat as Secretary.

While inaugurating the two committees, the INEC chairman said it was another step in the commission’s determination to ensure seamless preparations for the 2019 general elections.

Yakubu said that the Electoral Logistics Committee would be responsible for coordinating logistics, as well as the clearance and transportation of electoral materials to various locations nationwide.

“The first committee is responsible for electoral logistics. The commission is aware that the conduct of a general election is the biggest and most complex logistics operation a nation can undertake.

“Sensitive and non-sensitive materials procured by the commission must be delivered to almost 200,000 locations nationwide.

“Ranging from the polling units to the various wards, local governments, states and the national collation centres for the 1,558 constituencies into which elections will be conducted.

“At the end of the elections, sensitive materials will be retrieved from the same locations.

“The same process will be repeated for each of the two phases of the 2019 general elections.



“Namely the Presidential and National Assembly elections holding on Feb. 16 and the Governorship, State Assembly and Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory on March 2,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that the Committee on National Collation Centre, which was entirely internal to the commission, would be responsible for the national collation centre from where results of the Presidential election would be announced.

“As was the case in 2015, the commission will use the International Conference Centre in Abuja.

“Already, the management of the ICC has approved the commission’s request to once again use the venue in 2019.

“It will serve as the secretariat for collation of results and venue for briefing of international observers and the media.

“It will also be accessible to agents of the 73 political parties fielding candidates in the presidential election.

“Facilities such as power, access to the internet, live transmission for national and international media as well as accreditation for access to the ICC and security of the venue shall be handled by the committee,” he said.

Yakubu assured Nigerians that “the commission is on course to deliver credible elections in 2019’’.

He also noted that the commission would meet with the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Friday at 4 p.m. in Abuja, to discuss the ongoing strike by the union, only in relation to the INEC preparations for the general elections.

“We are concerned that the bulk of critical election duty staff are drawn from the universities. We are determined to ensure that the processes are not affected by the union’s industrial action.

“ASUU is a critical partner to the commission in delivering credible elections. We look forward to the meeting and we are confident of a positive outcome,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that INEC had contacted the Nigeria Labour Congress as the commission was already in partnership with one of its affiliate unions, the National Union of Road Transport Workers.

“The Commission plans to meet with the NLC next week,’’ he said.

The INEC boss also listed members of the Logistics Committee to include National Commissioners Mr. Abubakar Lamuche and Malam Muhammed Haruna, the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force.

It also include the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, the INEC Director, Electoral Operations ‎and Logistics Department, INEC Director of Estate Works and Transport, and INEC‎ Director of Procurement.

Responding, the Chairman of the Electoral Logistics Committee, Mu’azu, pledged that they would deliver the responsibilities with all sense of diligence.

“The committee will do whatever needs to be done to guarantee a seamless delivery of men and materials to the right place at the right time and in the right quantity and of course, guarantee retrieval of same after the two elections.

“I want to also assure you that we appreciate and very clear in our minds the gravity of what is on our hands. Therefore, we shall hit the ground running,” he said.

Security agencies have uncovered how the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has allocated about $3million (N1.8billion) to each state branch of the party, allegedly for inducement of voters.

The cash was remitted before last Saturday’s postponement elections, but most state chapters were finding it difficult to change the cash to naira because of the surveillance on Bureau De Change operators by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Services (DSS).

Also, the agencies have intercepted alleged compromise of some officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), policemen and other security agents in some states.

The intelligence report, including the alleged implication of a former top official of INEC, may be presented to the chairman of the electoral commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, by the security agencies.

A former Resident Electoral Commissioner is believed to be neck-deep in the massive cash-for-votes plot.

Besides, a member of the National Peace Committee headed by former Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar has been fingered in “political romance” with the opposition, contrary to the mandate of the group.

The popular thinking is that the PDP has hidden under the guise of “logistics” to allocate about $3million (N1.8billion) per state, which security agencies discovered that it was for inducement of voters.

Based on the 36 states, about $111million (N66.6billion) has been deployed by the leading opposition party to influence voters.

The intelligence report indicated that the money was different from the cash allocated to “compromise some officers of INEC, policemen and security agents in some states” which had been marked by security agencies.

An intelligence source said: “ Reports so far have showed that the main opposition party has allocated $3m(N1.8billion) to each of its state chapters under the guise of logistics for the general elections.

“But intelligence confirmed that the cash is for vote buying with about N400,000 devoted to some polling units out of the nation’s 120,000.

“Some of the huge cash cannot be converted to Naira because of the surveillance on Bureau De Change operators by the EFCC and DSS.

“And most banks have become circumspect in view of a similar experience in 2015 in which about N23.9 poll bribery cash was shared through their branches.”

The source, who pleaded not to be named because of the “sensitivity” of the matter, gave insights into the alleged compromise of some INEC officers through a former top shots of the electoral commission who had been engaged as consultants.

The source added: “Detectives also discovered a ‘grand compromise’ of some INEC officers, policemen and others in some states. A former INEC top officer and ex-Resident Electoral Commissioner are implicated in the plans to compromise the nation’s electoral integrity.

“These former top INEC officers were found to have played a key role in the recruitment of the ad hoc staff in some strategic states by using internal links/ surrogates in INEC to perfect their plot. Many officers in INEC, who were recruited by these former officers, are still loyal to them.

“These ex-officers had infiltrated the system and could cause any sabotage of the poll at any point, if it does not favour those who hired them. This is why it is easier for the opposition to have every detail about the movement and actions of INEC chairman and his National Commissioners.

“The intelligence report will be made available to the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, especially as it relates to its field officers in some states.

“As for policemen and other security agents, the appropriate authorities are handling specific cases. And these issues will be attended to before the beginning of the poll on Saturday.”

Asked if the intelligence report has been made available to the National Peace Committee, the source said: “It is still an intelligence document as I speak with you now.

“The challenge we are having also is that a member of the committee has been fingered in a political romance with the opposition because of vested interests in some deals.

“Notwithstanding, the government will decide on how and when to brief relevant stakeholders.”

Reacting, INEC said it was unaware of the existence of a recording of the PDP corrupting its men.

In the leaked telephone conversation, a top government official in Rivers State was heard mapping out plans on how to win the last Saturday’s election, which was rescheduled.

INEC officials were said to have been settled to pave the way for the ruling party in the state.

Besides, names of the officials were mentioned in the conversation, which include officials from neighbouring states.

The government official could also be heard issuing out warning to kill any INEC officials who fails to cooperate after collecting money from the government.

However, INEC National Commissioner in charge of Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr. Festus Okoye, said the commission was yet to see the purported recording.

Okoye, who was responding to inquiry by The Nation, said: “I have not seen the recording you are alluding to.”

Also reacting, the PDP said the opposition party lacked the financial wherewithal to deploy such cash.

Its spokesman Kola Ologbodiyan: “We don’t have such funds anywhere, but we enjoy massive support and goodwill of a greater number of Nigerians. As an opposition party, where can we get that money.

“It was the same APC that mocked us a few weeks ago, saying that we were broke and that we could not fund our campaign. Now they have turned around to accuse us of spending such funds.

“Is it not strange that a ruling party is now portraying itself as the victim simply because they have been rejected by the people?

“Rather, it is the APC that has spent humongous amount on their campaign across the country and they are still spending. We have the figures and at the appropriate time we shall release them. For now, we are focused on the coming elections. So, we are very busy right now.”
