Osinbajo's Aide: INEC Betrayed Nigerians' Confidence.

-

 


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to electronically submit the results of the 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections, according to Laolu Akande, media adviser to former vice president of Nigeria Yemi Osinbajo. This, he claims, has damaged Nigerians' confidence in the INEC.

During a question-and-answer session on Friday's episode of "Politics Today" on Channels Television, Akande made this statement.

Inability to post polling unit results to their Result Viewing Portal, according to Akande, was an INEC failure.

"It's critical to establish something we can't really avoid. This election left INEC with a shattered reputation.

"There is no question in my mind. The INEC instituted a standard. The rules were established by INEC. INEC promised the Nigerian people that this is how we would announce the outcome of this election.

The chairman of INEC really traveled abroad and declared, "What we are going to do is that we will put these results, when we get them, on IReV in real-time," Akande added.

After the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) validated the election of President Bola Tinubu, Akande made his remarks.

The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), which is the only technology requirement specified for use by the INEC during elections, was determined by the panel headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani.

Family members who spoke  on the condition of anonymity suspect foul play linked to the Kingship tussle.  They claim that certain opponents, who have persistently opposed the Imo State Government’s recognition of Mr. Obasi as the rightful Eze of the community, may have orches...

Vandals Damaged Tottenham's $1.2 Billion Stadium.

Image
  In an unexpected turn of events, the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, valued at a staggering £1.2 billion, recently bore witness to a shocking act of vandalism during the international break.  Our sources have uncovered the distressing details of this incident, where various parts of the stadium sustained significant damage. Fortunately, authorities swiftly apprehended an individual responsible for this audacious act on Monday night.  What's intriguing is that this act of vandalism, while undeniably concerning, does not seem to be linked to the ongoing Israeli/Palestine conflict, an important aspect to note, considering Tottenham's deep-rooted connection with the Jewish community. Initial estimates indicate that the cost of repairing the damage will soar into six figures.  A statement from Tottenham regarding the incident reaffirms that an arrest has been made in connection with the criminal damage.  Moreover, it emphasizes that there's no indication of this ...

  BY RALPH EJIMKONYE As the political temperature gradually rises in Imo State, attention is already shifting towards the high-stakes battle for the 2027 governorship election. Though Governor Hope Uzodinma’s tenure is expected to lapse by January 15, 2028, behind-the-scenes maneuverings and subtle campaigns have begun in earnest, setting the stage for one of the most contested races in the state’s democratic history. In typical Nigerian fashion, while a few major contenders have publicly shown signs of interest in the coveted seat,.others are still mum, but maintaining a studious interest on unfolding developments.

  The last might not have been heard about the drama and dramatics that are unfolding in phases and the intention of some Chairmanship Aspirants and their aspirations in the forthcoming Local Government Council elections in Imo State . Like the man who authored the novel Behind the war front, the told and the untold stories surrounding purchase of Nomination and Expression of interest Forms of APC are intriguing, and more are yet to be heard and unfold from Orlu Zone. What happened in one of the Local Government Headquarters in Orlu Zone today is akin to that of a woman who told her Child not to tell her debtor that she was at home, only for the Child to say to the debtor that my mum said that I should tell you that she is not at home. As Aspirants from other Local Government Areas in Imo State are fighting boldly, openly and courageously, others lack the courage to even disclose that they have secured and purchased their Nomination Form(s).
