When Inec saddled with the responsibilty of conducting and announcing the winner has concluded their task...

The only thing pdp and Lp can do is to use the 25percent votes in Abuja to their own gain.

If supreme court can interpret this section and it favours them, inec has no option than to recall the sertificate of return and reconduct a by-election between Apc and Pdp.

Obi lost, all this imaginary bullshit wont help anyone.

I voted atiku cos i knew obi wont win.

If they had formed alliance, today we will have seen a new party at thr helm...

Some people said insteadof mikano to win let agbado win..
Now they r crying foul...

Is there any elections that is devoid of rigging?

Can OBi vouch with his life that there was no rigging in the East?

And also where did the rigging happen, i keep asking this question?

Did they rig in lagos that he won, or was he supposs to win in zamfara or kano abi in borno?

If PO had win, nobody would have been bothered or disturbed even if the transmission of results was by Canoe or Keke.

For God sake, there was no electronic voting, so how do u then expect ttansmission of result electronically when balloting system of voting was still in place?

yaki84:
Did Ebonyi, Imo, Abia, Anambra or Enugu transmit their results Electronically?

I really want to know...

Cos those results came far too long than expected and it didnt reflect the true position of things on ground.

Is Lawan confusing himself or he just decided to sound the way he did?. Which one is transmission and which one is transfer?

The Senate President, Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan on Tuesday clarified that the Electoral Act 2022 did not provide for electronic transmission of election results as being demanded by a cross-section of Nigerians for 2023 election results.

Speaking while contributing to a motion sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Oloriegbe (APC, Kwara Central) on the controversies trailing the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, Lawan said that what was passed by the National Assembly was snapping of election results and transferring to the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

This was even as the motion, which centred on the need for calm and appeal to political parties, stakeholders and Nigerians to abide by the rule of law on the election process in the just concluded election, triggered a heated debate among the senators.

While senators belonging to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, supported debate on the motion, those in the opposition kicked against it.

The Senate President said: “In the Electoral Act that we passed, there is nothing like the electoral transmission. What we have passed is to transfer all the paper works that we normally do while the agents and everybody there have the papers.

“INEC will now scan or snap the result sheets and transfer them. We urge INEC to follow the Electoral Act and other laws on their guidelines.
“In this chamber, we are not going to interpret the Electoral Act. This is not a court of law. We are just to guide this debate and talk about the general principles of how this election and declaration should be done. There is no need to stress ourselves.
In his motion, Senator Oloriegbe asked the Senate to urge all political actors, leaders and every Nigerian to remain calm and allow collation and announcement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections result to continue based on the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Oloriegbe, who moved the motion anchored on Orders 41 and 51, said it was very important for the highest legislative body to look into the controversy surrounding results collation by INEC and bring calm to the raging storm among political parties.

“The Senate should urge all political actors, leaders and every Nigerian to remain calm and allow collation and announcement of the presidential and National Assembly elections to proceed based on the provisions of the electoral act,” he said.

But before being allowed to make a lead debate presentation on the motion, Senator Betty Apiafi (PDP, Rivers West), said it was wrong to bring up the issues at such a critical time like this, saying “the Senate wasn’t the place to state what the guidelines of the INEC should be.”

Senator Emmanuel Orker-Jev (PDP, Benue North West), also kicked against the motion by saying “the best way is to step down this order because if we are already generating this kind of controversy, imagine what will happen out there.”

Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa (PDP, Bauchi North), noted that the Senate should stay clear of the issues due to the raging controversy on it.

“Whatever happens in the collation centre and in the social media, the Senate should not involve in it.

“We passed the Electoral Act and for goodness sake, if we don’t stop this motion down, there will be endless controversy on party lines and God knows what it will generate in the public domain,” he said.

Senator Biodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti South), also kicked against the motion by saying “the process is still an ongoing one and INEC should follow its own guidelines and the Electoral Law. We should not ignite violence and the best way is to ask everybody to maintain peace and order while we go through this process and finish it properly.”

However, Senator Sani Musa (APC, Niger East ) and others from the ruling party, supported the motion, which paved way for a full debate on it.

He said: “It is very clear that accreditation and verification are to be done by the BVAS. We are not voting electronically for that real-time transmission to happen.

“Transmission can only happen after it has been published on BVAS. So it is not real-time. We are not a court to interpret but INEC has a responsibility to stick to guidelines.

“It is a simple process and that process after publishing, they send it to back-end servers and it is after then that INEC can put it on IREV. INEC has been attacked over 160 times and nobody has been making any issue about that.”

Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC, Ekiti Central), in his own contribution, said Nigerians should be patient for INEC to complete the process while also calling on the judiciary to do the right thing.

He noted that the judiciary should not allow itself to be dragged into interfering with the elections without passing through the proper process.

The Senate called on Nigerians to remain calm just as it urges INEC to abide by extant laws in the collation of results of the presidential election.

Dafresh:
Yes you're correct but we knew how the system works

GreyLaw:
These guys should be tracked down and summarily shot! Nigeria has no justice and so it must be served to such a person privately.

The above is what I wish would happen, but jungle justice is not good. I hope the law catches up with him.

Dafresh:
The police came with him, for the safety of their job they won't

Dafresh:
Wonders shall never end, even the policeman know say dem de record amm

iLoveYouToo:
Looks like PDP ballot papers to me

AdaojoTheUrchin:
That guy deserves to be captured like a monkey and shot at a stake. See the wickedness on his face.

Abeg what is his name, we need to follow am up.

Godwin4444:
but Obaseki is obedient now?

Wetin happen?

Obedient in d mud

Mylove55:
support the winner

Mylove55:
but igbos are the ones complaining most,
Did you see North or south west complaining, did they participate in endsars protest,
It is all about igbos endsars protester's campaigning for obi.diot

BATified2023:
peter obi will not win bro

Mylove55:
Yes, more agony if they put all their eggs in one basket,
They better share it wisely for South East to benefit from the national cake

Mylove55:
igbos did not embrace APC, so don't expect apc to give igbo their ticket,
You said sw voted out jonathan, but the same PDP did not give igbos their ticket,
That is more reason igbos should embrace apc now, so that they will not make the same mistake of 2015,

FixxNigeria23:
There is reasons Igbo should stop doing politics of sentiment and one-sided politics.

The truth is you don't get power in a plata of Gold, you have to make a sacrifice and follow due process..

You can't be just 4 persons in the family and want to rule someone of 15-20 persons in the family...

No matter how the northern vote is shared, Tinubu will still get a very good number of vote that will superceed all the votes from SE....
