Results Are Being Tampered With- Chris Smith, US Congressman, Nigerian Election by three: 8:48am On Feb 25, 2019
Chris Smith , a ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Africa, has alleged that votes are being tampered with in the ongoing Nigerian elections.

In a message posted on the US house website, Chris Smith is quoted thus”

“Yesterday, Nigeria voted. Today, votes are being counted. I am very concerned by credible reports that the vote is being tampered with. To avoid any manipulation of the tally, it is critical that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announce without delay actual results — which are certified by party agents and observers — at each polling unit as the vote is tabulated.

“Well-placed sources report that in some states and localities — including Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia — INEC commissioners are receiving enormous pressure to alter poll results. This must not be allowed to happen.



“The eyes of the United States, of Africa, and the world are upon Nigeria and INEC. I also ask Secretary Michael Pompeo to hold accountable anyone who seeks to cheat the Nigerian people — who have waited patiently — of their vote or foments violence.”

Nigerians voted, with minor glitches, on Saturday for presidential and National Assembly positions in the 36 states of the country.

The country’s electoral body, INEC has announced that the announcement of results will commerce 11 am on Monday.

Sporadic violence were reported in some parts of the country mostly in the South South, South West and North central regions. Figures of death casualties stand at 20 with 15 being shot dead by the military in the riverine community of Abonnema in Rivers state.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) earlier accused the ruling All Progressive Congress of planning to rig the elections.

The APC has also accused the PDP of planning to procure a court injunction to stop INEC from announcing the result of the elections tomorrow.

Let the will of the people prevail..... Let the people decide who governs them.

A step forward, two steps backwards?

Is Nigeria's Democratic system a different one??

Is democracy no longer government of the people, by the people and for the people?

Are we practicing government of the government, by the government and for the government??

Why are we not getting it right in this country? Why?

Pls let the will of the people prevail and the BEST emerge as the winner....

I knew Buhari have evil intention to retain power,

The grand plan was kill as many people using the military so that people won't come out to vote in the south south and southeast.

Then Tinubu bullion van money is for preventing Igbos from voting in the southwest.

They will all die painfully very soon

This election proves buhari is a corrupt criminal. GEJ gave us peaceful, free and fair elections in 2015 yet buhari and the incompetent ppl he appoints have made a regression on the gains made four years ago.

In addition to state sponsored thuggery and illicit money for vote trade, the buhari govt has proven that it is of no difference to the establishment that has kept Nigeria enslaved for years.

The silly people involved don't realise the world is 'listening in'

grin grin grin

Wait make dem play your tape first

They've already promised a clamp down. Do you think for matters as sensitive as this they will rely on evidence generated by Nigerian organisations? When you apply for a visa do they still not vet your documents independently? No worry, you've been heard.

Meanwhile, for as much as the US cannot undermine thr sovereignty of Nigeria, they can and will ensure that the voice of the people is sacrosanct!

The results are in already. Form EC8s are in Public domain and with the relevant parties. Your MAGO-MAGO is useless at this point and you're at best digging a hole for yourself (and possibly family).

See what they did to the guys who messed up in Congo

The man is a bigger failure than Jonathan, he took us backwards and people are celebrating him for selfish interests.
We need a total overhaul of the system as I believe that if a younger and more upright candidate was presented by PDP, they would have blown Buhari and APC apart.

PDP did a sham primary that wasn't going to improve their chance of winning and presented a bad candidate.
