Atiku: I already Told Abdulsalami Abubakar... This Is Worst Election In Nigeria’s History
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the just-concluded presidential election is the worst in the history of Nigeria.
Atiku said he already expressed the sentiment to Abdulsalami Abubakar, the Military Head of State who handed over to a civilian regime in 1999, adding that even the military hadn't conducted such a shambolic election.
He has also assured his supporters of victory and appealed for calm.
He disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, in whuch he spoke on the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as winner of the election.
Atiku told his supporters that although it could take long, he is confident of victory.
"It is a long journey, but I am confident of victory. All hope is not lost. Stay strong and by the grace of God, we shall triumph,” he said.
He said in Akwa Ibom, the results showed a statistical impossibility of 62 per cent drop in the number of voters from 2015 election, even where voter registration and PVC collection rate was much higher than 2015.
His words: “You must recall that our party made this observation before the election that there were plans to implement voter operation in the opposition or PDP stronghold and voter increase in APC stronghold. This pattern was repeated in PDP strongholds, including states like Delta, Rivers, Abia and Benue.
"One begins to ask if insecurity is conducive to high voter turnout, then security is antithetical to high voter turnout. It is certainly curious that PDP’s margin of victory in states in the South-East and South-South were extremely slim across board. That again is statistical impossibility.”
He stated that the numbers declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the presidential election did not add up and was full of discrepancies, noting that “the electoral fraud perpetrated by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration cannot produce a government and it does not reflect the will of Nigerians."
He continued: "My dear Nigerians, it is for this reason that I, Atiku Abubakar, reject the results declared by INEC that declared Muhammadu Buhari as duly returned by the majority of the lawful votes.
"I am conferring with not just my party, but also with Nigerian people, that which will be revealed to the Nigerian public shortly. For my fellow Nigerians who feel angry, disillusioned and let down by the process. I appeal to you to remain calm and steadfast. Rome was not built in a day.
"This year makes it three decades I've been involved in Nigeria’s struggle for democracy, and this is the worst election in all those years. And I told that to General Abdulsalami, when he called me; that not even the military has conducted such a worst election.”

Illegal Thumbprinting, Voter Inducement... Election Observation Platform Releases Findings
Election Observation Platform (EOP), a monitoring group hosted by the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) and the Human ad Environment Development Agenda (HEDA), has released its preliminary findings in Nigeria's presidential and National Assembly elections.
In a press statement sent to SaharaReporters on Sunday, the group listed voter inducement and illegal thumbprinting as some of the irregularities that marred the electoral processes.
The group also cited ballot snatching as one of the issues that affected smooth conduct of the polls.
The statement read: "We recorded reports of voter inducement in Abeokuta, Kano, Lagos, Kogi and Sokoto. Incidents of ballot snatching and illegal thumbprinting of ballot papers were reported in PU 014, Lugbe ward FCT, Abuja; PU 006, Ward 017, Ogala in Eleme LGA of Rivers State; Ward 6,7 and 8 in Okrika, Rivers State; Baba Ewe Street, Okota, Lagos; PU 071, Ward A, Mushin, Lagos; Ward G1, Unit 036, Maxwell, Mushin, Lagos.
"However, several of the old challenges that featured in previous elections were again present in these Presidential and National Assembly elections. These include late arrival of election officials and materials at some polling units, resulting in the late commencement of the election processes, contributing to voters’ apprehension.
"Attempt to disrupt voting and result collation processes by thugs, persons dressed in military/police uniforms and political party agents in some places.
"Difficulties in the authentication of some registered voters due to malfunctioning of smart card readers.
"Cases of voting irregularities: unaccredited voters, multiple voting, snatching and burning of election materials and underage voting.
“Our preliminary assessment nevertheless shows that these challenges and malpractices were relatively low."
However, the group said its observers across the 36 states of Nigeria also noted some high points in the conduct of the election.

Panel Reveals How Nigeria Airways Staff Embezzled $17.6m Meant For Aircraft Purchase
Two staff of the defunct national carrier, Nigeria Airways, jointly diverted the sum of $17.6million meant for the payment of two aircraft, payment of commission and D-check for a Boeing 737 aircraft.
This was contained in the findings by the Justice Obiora Nwazota panel set up by the Nigerian government to probe financial diversion in the former national carrier.
The panel, which comprised eight members, submitted its whitepaper draft report to the government on May 8, 2002, and as part of its recommendations, directed the government to force Major General Olu Bajowa (rtd) and Captain Mohammed Joji to refund the sums to the government.
For instance, the committee recommended that Bajowa should refund to Nigeria Airways Limited (NAL) the sum of $4.35million, which was deposited for the botched purchase of MD 11 and ATR aircraft.
The committee said despite the payment, the sum was never recovered by the airline.
The document read: “Government notes this recommendation and hereby directs Nigeria Airways Limited to recover the money from the company.”
Besides, the committee recommended that Joji, an erstwhile Managing Director of NAL to refund the sum of $9.8million to NAL as payment he made to an agency.
According to the committee, Joji allegedly paid the sum to Sabena as the commission for purchase of aircraft, but investigation by the panel revealed that Joji never made such payment by him to the company.
The government, however, accepted the recommendation, but up till date, the fund was never recovered by the government and Joji still walks the streets free.
Besides, Justice Unwazota Panel also mandated Joji to refund the sum of $3,531,358.50 being the cost of the D-check on a B737 aircraft, which was carried out by NAL in Nigeria, which he again paid for in Brazil.
“Government accepts this recommendation. The present management of Nigeria Airways Limited and the Federal Ministry of Justice should explore the possibility of recovering the money.
“For this recklessness, and those already listed against him, government hereby bans Captain Joji from holding any public office in Nigeria. The secretary to the government of the federation is hereby directed to include this decision in the next issue of the Gazette.”
Since the report was made public in 2002, a year before the liquidation of the airline, several analysts in the sector had challenged the government to implement the recommendations of that committee, but 17 years after, the government is yet to do this.
In a recent interview with our correspondent, Captain Dele Ore, former President of Aviation Round Table (ART), charged the government to revisit the recommendations of the Justice Nwazota Panel, which was primarily set up to look into the poor management of the defunct carrier.
Ore said those indicted by the panel were still walking the streets free, alleging that the indicted personnel also aided the liquidation of the airline to hide their loots. He said until the government explained the reason behind the liquidation of the former national carrier and totally pay off its entire staff, the sector would not move forward.
He said: “Justice Obiora Nwazota recommendation panel is pushed aside and we are pretending nothing has happened and we want to form another carrier. If we don’t revisit it, there will not be justice in this country. The panel indicated a looting of everything that belongs to Nigeria Airways.
“It was obvious that people were out to make sure that the airline was ground to a halt and having looted all the available assets and all that, they were the ones in the forefront of misadvising the government so that their sins would not be visited upon.
“You can liquidate it, but the spirit is still hanging around; the spirit will never die. People will continue to talk about it until justice is done. I have documents and the summary of the recommendations. It is sad if we don’t do anything about it.”

EXCLUSIVE: Atiku Relying On Body Cameras From His Agents To Beat Buhari In Court
Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election, is confident of victory when he formally institutes an election petition case against President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC), and SaharaReporters understands one major reason for this is the wide-ranging availability of video evidence to back up his claims of non-voting, voter intimidation, ballot box snatching and destruction, illegal vote cancellation and deliberate voter disenfranchisement.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared Buhari the winner of the election at exactly 4:39am after polling APC 15,191,847 votes to Atiku’s 11,262,978.
However, Atiku has already rejected the result, alleging, among others, the suppression of votes in his strongholds — an action he described as “so apparent and amateurish” and one that makes him “ashamed as a Nigerian that such could be allowed to happen”.
He consequently rejected “the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election” and vowed to challenge it in court.
“We’re going to court; that’s the major thing we can do now except we’re looking towards chaos, and nobody wants chaos,” one of his associates, who requested not to be named, told SaharaReporters.
“And again, there’s a lot wrong with the election figures. Cancelled votes in Kano were over 2million; then the difference between accredited voters and actual voters is over 700,000 there as well, which shows there are a lot of discrepancies in the figures. We are still working with some of the documents, and I know that for like three days they’ve been gathering more and more.”
He also said a lot of the claims being made by Atiku and the PDP were backed up by video tapings, as the party prepared in advance for the rigging by sending agents with hidden cameras to the field.
“There are a lot of videos, of course, because there were body cameras on some of the agents that went to the polling units and ward collation centres,” he said.
“Those ones will be tendered as evidence; and there are some other ones I won’t want you to be privy to for now.
“Atiku has set forth to go to the Supreme Court, so he is not even thinking of the tribunal. Of course we’ll start with the tribunal but we know that once the tribunal gives a judgement, the President will definitely appeal against it if the judgement is against him. The game plan Atiku has given us is for the Supreme Court. He is going all out; he is going totally for it. Atiku is not someone that will start something and will stop halfway without seeing it off till the very end. He’s going all out.”
In furtherance to his earlier rejection of the result, Atiku is set to address a press conference any moment from now.

With Buhari’s 4+4, Igbo Presidency In 2023 Is Now Non-Negotiable By Fredrick Nwabufo
Nation-building is not perfunctory; it is deliberate, planned and decisive.
A country as enormous, diverse and delicate as Nigeria cannot evolve organically when a part of it is marooned and confined in the fringes of political exclusion. The argument has always been, “the Igbo are not ready”, and “they are not playing the right politics”. But this argument is classically insipid and hollow.
Some people have also argued that the Igbo are “putting their eggs in one basket”. This is also a moot point. The Igbo are no different from the Yoruba, the Hausa and the Fulani in the game of politics.
A plethora of interests has always driven the politics of these ethnic groups. If we are agreed that interest is the highest common factor in the political calculations of these groups, then we cannot berate the Igbo for choosing to swing whichever way they want to.
For example, the south-west was measured in its vote for Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, but the south-east was generous in its vote for him. And in 2003, the south-west was unwilling to support Obasanjo, but the south-east adopted him, and even voted more for him than for its leader, the late Odumegwu Ojukwu.
The point is, the various ethnic groups have always played the politics of interest. The political exclusion of the Igbo is not because “they are not playing the right politics”, it is rather because of systemic strait-jacketing.
Since 1999, the highest position an Igbo has occupied is “senate president”, a position which the group even lost in 2015, and if we are to go back to the second republic, “vice-president”. Obviously, this is a political chasm. We cannot pontificate on unity when this nagging political sequestration exists.
Really, at this time, it will be hypocritical to discountenance ethnic distribution in choosing the next president in a country that is much fractured and that is unhealing from years of in-fighting.
Also, it will be ludicrous to reduce this important issue to ethnic exhibitionism. We cannot submerge this conversation, no matter how tenuous and irritating it is. We must “jaw jaw”.
I believe healing will begin for Nigerians when political justice is seen to have been done to all. At that point we can build a country defiant to disunity. But political justice must be done to all first to get to this stage.
In the name of all that binds us as a country, we must begin now to work for a “red cap with an asi-agu” in Aso villa in 2023.
Nigeria is for all of us, and we must work towards a society where justice breathes in the busy streets of Aba; where it hovers across the brown roofs of Ibadan, and where it strolls on the fine sands of Sokoto.
