OSUN TRIBUNAL RULING UPDATE
On APC's application that Senator Adeleke was not qualified to contest the Governorship election in the 1st place.

TRIBUNAL holds that they failed to provide any evidence as proof of this allegation, insisting HE WHO ALLEGES MUST PROVE

I swear like say dem.send this tribunal to knock and blow APC/Oyetola for face

AfonjaBoston:
Lol which proceeding? Same one I dey watch or the one u manufacture for your head?

What's wrong with this kid ....
I hope you are alright?

ehissi:
Gubernatorial issues end at Appeal court, only presidency gets to supreme court, probably why Onnoghen was setup

Wrong comrade, Wike vs Dakuku peterside case on the Rivers Guber in 2015 was eventually settled at the Supreme Court based on interpretation issues. Remember?

TheTrueSeeker:
The case won't end at the Tribunal which ever way it swings...!!!

There's the Appeal Court and finally the SC

My brother going by the provision of the law in this regard and judging from the proceedings so far....I don't see how Court of Appeal or Supreme Court will upturn today's verdict. It seems these tribunal meant business so far. Should they missed up things then I foresee an upturn in the superior courts

AfonjaBoston:
You be mumu ooooo
That's a minus for Adeleke abi you no sabi read?

You must be suffering from day time cataract perhaps. Must you insult .....check my post and edit your nonsense.

The inclusion of vertical or horizontal lines does not change the nature of the facts but guides the reader from veering off the relevant information.

Adeleke lost this one. Following....

I love this so much.

It is finished for Mahmoud and INEC we may have to design another working system of voting.

This demonic Mahmoud guy is the real problem of this election mess.

The extra number is from manual accreditation which the law recognises. card reader is only meant to aid manual accreditation and not replace it.

Plz did u worked as an ad hoc staff in this election becos the truth Is ure talking out of point....mind u any polling unit that made use of smart card aren't allowed to use manual accreditation.... pvcs are first read by the card reader and the only tym manual accreditation is allowed is when the card reader fails to authenticate the finger print of the owner... and the card reader records number of successful n failed finger print authentication which later sums up the total number of accredited voters at the polling unit.. so both the manual and the card reader must tally.
also there is e-collation of result of each political party to the Inec server which is done by the Rac-tech ....so I knw Inec is lying abt the card reader transmitting only number of accredited voters and not votes gotten by parties becos I was a presiding officer at the just concluded election!!

Thank you love keep drumming into their ears that this year card reader machine was configurated to capture votes and accredited voters in each polling unit.

Akingun1990:
No, there is an interphase on the Smart card reader that says E-collation, once you are in this phase you send the total accredited number of voters and ALSO the specific number of each political party votes, Mind you this concluded election, most party were not duly represented on the smart card platform, nonetheless the major contenders I. e PDP and APC were represented and the result ascribed to each political party in conformity with the results obtained from elections broad sheets from polling unit were transmitted to INEC, So I wouldn't know wether INEC sieves the results from accreditation at there back end server.....

God bless you my brother you have said it all!

Nine days ago the Supreme Court adduced reasons why it upheld the results of last year’s Rivers State governorship election even though both the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal and the Election Appeal Tribunal earlier annulled the election on the grounds of substantial non-compliance with the law and election guidelines.

The apex court ruled that both courts were wrong to place emphasis on the non-use of card reader machines in nullifying Governor Nyesom Wike’s election victory.

Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who delivered the lead judgement, said until the National Assembly amends the Electoral Act to give the card reader a statutory backing, it cannot be the basis for nullifying any election.

She praised the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] for introducing the card reader in order to improve upon the credibility of elections but said there is a difference between the Constitution, the Electoral Act and the manual and guidelines made by INEC pursuant to powers granted it by the Electoral Act.

She ruled that card reader, which is part of INEC’s election guidelines, cannot therefore supersede the electoral register which is provided for in the Electoral Act.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria Justice Mahmud Mohammed as well as Supreme Court Justices Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, Sylvester Ngwuta, Kumai Aka’ahs, John Okoro and Amiru Sanusi all concurred.

Their lordships’ thinking on the matter is made clearer by the statements of the other justices.

Justice Tanko Muhammad said, “I agree that failure to follow the manual and guidelines made in exercise of the powers conferred by the Electoral Act cannot in itself render the election void. This should [however] not be understood to mean that the innovation of the card reader is in conflict with the relevant sections of the Electoral Act.”

Justice Aka’ahs on his part said, “Introduction of the card reader is certainly a welcome development in the electoral process. Although it is meant to improve on the integrity of those accredited to vote so as to check the incidence of rigging, it is yet to be made part of the Electoral Act. Section 138(2) of the Electoral Act envisages a situation where the Electoral Commission issues instructions or guidelines which are not carried out. The failure of the card reader machine or failure to use it for the accreditation of voters cannot invalidate the election.”

Basically the same line of argument was used by the Supreme Court justices to uphold other governorship election results, namely those of Mr. Dave Umahi in Ebonyi State, of Mr. Ikpeazu in Abia State, of Governor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom State and of Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.

Some of these elections had earlier been annulled by election tribunals or election appeal tribunals based on the strength of evidence from card readers. This revolutionary machine, which was used for the first time in the 2015 election, recorded the exact number of voters that were accredited in each polling unit. Where it was jettisoned by the election officials, probably in connivance with candidates and security agents, the card reader recorded zero accreditation. This information was relied upon by many of the lower courts to prove cases of overvoting but the Supreme Court now ruled that it cannot be relied upon.

This year there will be a change because it was the first time it was used in 2015 but this year the INEC chairman confirmed that it will be accredited as part of our elections and going by the provisions of the Amended Electoral Laws, it is a good stand to defend the usage of the card reader to authenticate the validity of results in case of legal tussles.

This is not about not letting go in the just concluded Presidential elections but setting the records straight that truly there were manipulations in the course of the manual collation of the Presidential Results and as such an aggrieved INEC staff had decided to let everything out for all to see.

The Truth Cannot Be Hidden.

The Real Results of the 2019 Nigeria Presidential election.
I am an INEC staff. I cannot in good conscience be part of any manipulation. These are the hard facts and can easily be verified. The source of the data are INEC servers. The server name, IP address and mac addresses of the various servers have been attached as proof of authenticity. These are results and accreditations streamed to the INEC servers from the card readers at the polling stations. A forensic analysis of the INEC servers will confirm same. The Presidential election results captured on INEC servers shows President Buhari scored 16,741,430 votes, Atiku Abubakar scored 18,356,732 votes and other candidates combined scored 1,332,522. The total accredited voters for the election as reported by the card reader is 37,668,305.
This data does not include Rivers State. At the time of this snapshot, the servers didn’t have any data for Rivers State.

olisaokere:
Those card readers used for the elections were also used to enter results of each polling at the end of collation during the elections and are transmitted to INEC servers.those are the valid votes.maybe you do y know.INEC should have cancelled elections in polling booths where those card readers malfunctioned or not used instead of allowing those results to count.that alone flawed the entire voting process and gave room to msssive rigging

This is where they keep getting it wrong forgetting that this year (2019) card readers were configured to serve dual purposes which are capturing of accredited voters and transmission of results in each polling units straight to INEC's server unlike the ones used in 2015 which was configured for just a singular purpose which is "accreditation of voters" and storing them in INEC's server. Thanks my brother for enlightening them.

YoungFr:
Okay

Mind you this was the Card Readers used in 2015 unlike the ones deplored for usage in this year's election that can serve dual purposes.

INEC Explains A-Z About Electronic Card Readers

SAN FRANCISCO, March 04, (THEWILL) – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) explains the A-Z about its voting card readers in this question and answer statement below:

Question 1: Why use Card Readers?

Answer: For the first time in Nigeria’s electoral history, electronic voter authentication system, with the aid of smart card readers, is being deployed for the 2015 general elections. Using Card Readers has enormous advantages, which include:

Once configured, the Card Reader can only read Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Any person that shows up at the polling unit without a PVC or with a card not issued by INEC will not be able to vote.
The Card Reader reads the embedded chip on the PVC, not the barcode, and it shares a secret code with the PVC; thus it is impossible to falsify the cards.
The Card Reader authenticates the identity of the voter by cross-matching his/her fingerprints with that stored on the embedded chip. No person can vote using another person’s PVC.
The Card reader keeps a tally of all cards read, comprising the details of all voters verified as well as those not verified, and transmits the collected information to a central INEC server via GSM data service.
Information transmitted to the server will enable INEC to audit results from polling units, as well as do a range of statistical analysis of the demographics of voting.
Collation officers will also be able to use information transmitted by the Card Reader to audit polling unit result sheets and determine whether accreditation figures have been altered.
Question 2: Is the usage of Card Readers for 2015 elections legal?

Answer: The use of the Card Reader for the purpose of accreditation of voters is one of the innovations introduced by the Commission to improve the integrity of the electoral process. It does not violate the Electoral Act 2010, as Amended, or the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as Amended. It adds value to the process in line with the yearnings of Nigerians for credible elections, and accords with international best practices.  Whereas the Electoral Act prohibits the use of electronic voting, the Card Reader is not a voting machine and is not used for voting. The Card Reader is used only for accreditation of voters, and only accreditation (and not voting) data is transmitted by it.

Question 3: How does the Card Reader work?

Answer: The Card Reader uses a highly secure cryptographic technology that is used commonly in devices that need to perform secure transactions, such as paying terminals. It has ultra-low power consumption, with a single core frequency of 1.2GHz and an Android 4.2.2. Operating System. The INEC staff operating the Card Reader will scan the PVC of each voter to verify its genuiness before allowing the voter to get accredited. It takes an average of 10 to 20 seconds to authenticate a voter.

Question 4: How long is the battery life of the Card Reader?

Answer: The Card reader has a 3200mAh battery, which can lasts for about 12 hours in continual usage when fully charged. The device hibernates when not in use to save and lengthen the battery life.

Question 5: Who operates the Card Reader at the Polling Unit?

Answer: An Assistant Presiding Officer (APO) at the polling unit has the responsibility to operate the Card Reader. Poll officials that will operate the Card Readers have received extensive hands-on training and are well equipped to handle the task. The Commission has also painstakingly outlined the operational procedures in its ‘Approved Guidelines and Regulations for the Conduct of 2015 General Elections’.

Question 6: Have the Card Readers been tested ahead of the 2015 general elections? 

Answer: The Card Reader units have been broadly subjected to simulation Quality Assurance, Integrity and Functionality tests and INEC has full confidence in their performance for election purposes. The device has also been subjected to Performance and Conformance Test, both locally and in Texas, United States, laboratories by the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Research Centre and found to be of the highest quality grade. Besides all these, and with additional time resulting from the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections, the Commission has directed that Stress Test be conducted on the Card Reader device in mock election scenarios – two states in each of the six geo-political zones – ahead of the new election dates. (Details of this exercise will be unveiled by the Commission next week.)

Question 7: Can the Card Reader fail to function?

Answer: Going by the results of tests already conducted, it is highly unlikely that the Card Reader will fail on Election Day. Still, INEC has drawn up serial intervention plans in the unlikely event of the Card Readers failing.

(i)             Should there be a challenge with battery power for the device, the Commission has procured more than 35,000 back-up batteries that can be rapidly deployed.

(ii)           If the device itself fails in the course of accreditation, the Commission has procured more than 26,000 spares that can be rapidly deployed in replacement within the scheduled accreditation hours of 8a.m. – 1p.m.Whatever time is lost on these scheduled hours in the course of replacement will be added and accreditation extended beyond 1p.m. to compensate for the lost time.

(iii)          In the extremely unlikely and isolated event that a faulty Card Reader can’t be replaced within the scheduled accreditation hours, INEC has come to a firm agreement with political parties that the exercise be repeated the following day rather than revert to manual accreditation.

These procedures, which registered political parties have agreed to, have been written into the ‘Approved Guidelines and Regulations for the Conduct of 2015 General Elections’.

Question 8: What if the Card Reader verifies a voter’s PVC but his/her fingerprints cannot be authenticated?

Answer: The Commission has come to an agreement with registered political parties on what to do: namely that if a voter’s PVC has been read and it is evident that he/she is the legitimate holder of the card, but the fingerprints cannot be authenticated (or he/she doesn’t have fingers), the Presiding Officer of the voting point will complete an incident form and the voter will be accredited to vote. Party Agents and Observers would be there to witness to this.

Question 9: Is it possible to accredit all voters who turn out within the stipulated hours for accreditation using the Card Reader?

Answer: The accreditation of a voter, using the Card Reader, is estimated to last an average of 10 to 20 seconds per voter. Even if we double this time to 20 to 45 seconds for planning purposes, and working on the basis of a maximum of 750 voters per voting point, and using a generous projection of 70% voter turnout (the average being 54% from past elections), which equates to 525 voters, the card reader will need 6.5hours to process all the voters. This is well within the operating time for the elections as well as the battery life of the Card reader.

Question 10: How is the Card Reader programmed?

Answer: To prevent fraudulent use, the Card Rader is configured to work only on Election Days. In addition, the device is configured to specific polling units and cannot be used elsewhere without requiring reconfiguration by authorised INEC personnel.

Question 11: How has the INEC’s Card Reader addressed the problems experienced in other countries in the sub-region?

Answer: The challenge with a few of the Card Reader devices in Ghana, for instance, during the country’s 2012 general elections was the battery power, apparently because the affected devices were not fully charged. It was in learning from this experience that INEC designed the Card Readers to be used in the 2015 elections with 12-hour battery life in active usage, and also procured more than 35,000 units of back-up batteries. The imperative of adequate charging of the Card Readers is underscored during the trainings of election personnel.

The supposed technology failures during Kenya’s general elections in 2013 had nothing to do with card readers, as the country used computer poll books for accreditation. The challenge was rather with the electronic system used in transmitting results, and not card readers.

Harbioye:
So, why is the total valid votes for Buhari and Atiku greater than the number of accredited voters?

Besides, what makes up total accredited voters are
1. Number of valid votes of all parties
2. Rejected/Void votes

I worked as an ad-hoc staff in the just concluded election as the APO I, so trust me, I know what I'm saying.

I got you now sorry just cross checked others too it must have been a typo which is very possible judging from the round figure of "10,000" missed digits.

rexwalters:
Hear yourself out and see if you make any sense,so President Buhari won the election on Paper which you claimwas altered,so which result did they use to upload the server that declared atiku as the winner?Just wondering.

Do you even listen to yourself? The results collated untampered with is what got stored in INEC's server while the written ones originally stored in the data were manipulated you wonder why INEC refused to open their server since election had long been over? There is more to what you are seeing.

Harbioye:
Did anybody bother to add up Atiku & Buhari's results in Abia 664659 + 198391 = 863050 while the actual accredited voters is 853050.

0 rejected votes
0 votes from those end of the year parties
& 10,000 excess votes.


Just thinking out loud

Wrong analysis you ought to have factored in the cancelled votes, other parties votes and voided votes together. APC and PDP were only captured because they are the main contenders.

Honor10:
so how come the result we av seen, from each polling unit is different from this, and u are saying INEC will upload this result in their own server, and still declare Buhari winner? Chai! All this Atikulooter people sha

Was INEC's results stored in their server declared? Was it not the manually input one which.can be altered that was declared. Whatever got stored in INEC's server cannot be altered

Harbioye:
Just think out loud; Do you think INEC will alter the results on paper and forget to alter the ones on their server?

Very possible in this scenario though they would want to alter the server results after making sure it matches the manual ones already manipulated. As it stands now, Atiku has a good case.

BafanaBafana:
Hand held device? You are very funny walahi. As if we no follow collate result

That's the card reader that serves dual purpose one to verify your fingers and get eligible to vote and the other to store electronic results directly to back end server of INEC

Tospringe:
Card reader don't capture votes. The job of card reader is to accredit voters! Go and ask your party agent for a copy of your polling unit result and not the card reader.

This time around the card reader serves dual purpose one was to capture your finger prints and get you accredited and the other one is results gathered at the end of the voting exercise from each party contesting are further keyed in into the card reader machine like a POS and it automatically get stored in the back end server of INEC before the final collation at the different collation centres across the nation where the final electronic submission to INEC's server is carried out.

Iamgrey5:
How will that be possible bruv

it is a card reader for God sake not a laptop

Please explain

It is directly linked to INEC's server it is beyond ordinary card reader it is more of a POS machine. I thought you already knew this

Starpro87:
So you forgot any vote captured on the card reader automatically transmits to INEC server? Nigeria's INEC is not as crude as you think.

Thank you my brother I don't think many even voted in the first place because if they do no one will be confused as per the results gotten from each polling units and centres nationwide are all stored directly in INEC's server the essence of manual presentation of papers is to show proof of voting, updates on what transpired at the polling units, number of votes cancelled, those who finger prints could not be read by the card reader and other attendants issues. This is top notch strategy from Atiku's legal team.

It is gradually becoming interesting.... Buhari and his goons are about to be dispatched to the jungle of Daura.

*******
To those who are still confused on how Atiku arrived at these figures, you must understand that there was a hand held device like a POS Machine that is connected directly to INEC server given to each INEC Collation Officers with the specific instructions that after the final results declared by the Collation Officer at each polling Unit, he or she is to key in those figures as it applies to each party contending and automatically it gets stored in the system and cannot be altered and at the collation centre from the polling Units, what had been stored already on that hand held device from every available polling units in that Ward are finally sent to INEC''s server which cannot be tampered with. I hope you got the whole picture now!

supereagle:
You don't need special skill to kill a python except bravery. If you see it first, be sure that you can kill it, but if he sees you first and it is hungry, you can be in its belly.

Guy special skills are required as for what you put up there I know that already. The question is still, "how do you kill such a python this big"?

vincixpresso:
Tinubu's turn is coming

It is here already. I see Tinubu being messed up soon.
