Let me walk you guys through some innovations @inecnigeria has put in place to ensure #OSUNDECIDES2018 votes count. I will do a much more robust thread later. By 2pm anyone not on the queue will not vote.If there is no one left to vote the SCRs will automatically shutdown.
If there are still ppl on queues to vote, the SCR shuts down by 3pm. Now, as soon as accreditation is done the @inecnigeria national server receives that information. This information is displayed in the INEC situation room where the chairman and other commissioners and directors
Are seated watching it live. In that room are over 40 persons. If by the end of the day, the total number of accredited persons becomes less than number of persons who voted( over voting) , expect an immediate cancellation. It is therefore not possible for anyone to add up votes
To what has been cast today except you tell me that everyone in that situation room has been bribed. Another innovation is what is called the form E60e or what is known as the Peoples Mandate Protection form. It is one big form that has all the voting information which is filled
And pasted on the walls for citizens to photograph and spread via WhatsApp and other means. Any citizen that can photograph all the forms will know who the winner of the elections is. So,watch out for any party that first starts to complain 30 minutes after voting.They have lost.
Why? Cos their agents have the smaller version of the form and would have sent it to their principal’s situation room who collates it and know if they won or lost. Again, as soon as counting is done, the SCR is enabled to electronically send the result to HQ even before they move
To collation centers. So,the HQ knows what’s happening and any manipulation will be detected. This was how @inecnigeria was able to Checkmate rigging in some states leading to announcement of inconclusive votes. What can you do? Stay back and follow the process till the end
And have faith in this INEC , they know exactly what they are doing. Trust me on this.

This is going to be the most open convention ever in the history of PDP. Without presidential powers to beat people into line, it boils down to the power of networking and structures. The governors have never seen their power whittled like this before. Reason is cos PDP controls
Fewer states unlike before. So many states are up for grabs. The governors will either band or lose out. PDP Governors only control 15 States leaving 21 up in air. Out of the 15 states, two serving governors are in the pool. So, whoever the governors decide to support will have a
Big advantage but not defining since 22 states are still available . These 21 toss up states will be very key. We know that in these States, Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa, Benue and plateau delegates are already gone to the respective aspirants from those states except Kebbi.
One of my favourite hotels in Lagos is Oriental Hotel owned by Baba. Two months ago,I checked in as usual to the 7th floor and decided to go to the 3rd floor for some Japanese treat with my family. By the time I returned,a porter had stolen 100k from the IM in my bag. I reported
The matter to the hotel authorities who asked me why I didn't use the safe in the room. Nothing was done. It got me thinking, this is the story of Lagos. A beautiful structure like Oriental hotel that should be the symbol of professionalism in the tourism industry is rotten
Inside. Lagos is all show. The potential of this State has been sacrificed on Baba's alter just like his hotel. The more you look the less you see. Sadly, the opportunity that beckons with this rift will be lost: no quality opposition in the state. At the end of the day,
INEC saw hell in our hands before between 2003-2012. In fact, I recall adddressing a press conference asking Jega to resign after the Anambra screwup. He apologized and got to work. The result is the renewed INEC. Are they saints? Hell NO! In fact, that organization harbors some
Of the most unpatriotic Nigerians you can ever think about, but majority of them are patriots. You see, during the dark days of its history, any politician that had the means and clout strategically placed his/her people in that agency. The mole is to help rig elections.
It was so bad that Jega could no longer trust his own Commissioners. You would be having a closed door meeting of the commission and less than ten seconds after a decision was taken his phone rings and he is being asked why that decision was taken. Meanwhile, everyone was still
“Mahmood wants to rig bla bla bla bla...”, they won’t tell you the same man had directed that ALL uncollected PVCs in the affected polling units be withdrawn from the local governments and quarantined in the INEC Vaults in Osogbo guarded by a crack squad of SSS, Police etc.
They won’t tell you that the same Mahmood instructed the REC to give all the parties in the rerun elections the exact information of collected and uncollected PVCs in the concerned polling units which has been done.
They won’t tell you that he has directed that simultaneous accreditation and voting be done like the main elections to avoid any party having unfair advantage of knowing the number of turnout in one area and trying to cancel it out by re-mobilizing.
Alright people, gather round your dinner tables . Let’s do this . I waited for four hours to let all the fake news flying around to settle. Let’s now give you all the correct details. On Aiyedaade incident. 👇my eyewitness Observer report of the incident at the Collation Centre
On the allegations of “stealing” of votes by the INEC. 👇is the authentic result sheet of the elections. Anything outside this is fake news. I say this not only on my honour but as someone who was there with 125 observers.
On the current status of the elections results 👇. Nothing more to add.
If we concentrate half the time we are using to bash INEC on politicians and security agencies, Nigeria’s elections will be the best in the world. We( my colleagues and I in the CSOs movement) started this INEC bashing and we are telling you that there has been consistent
Incremental improvements in their operations. We cannot say same about others in the elections value chain. Politicians, security agencies and the voters have all degenerated to levels never seen before , yet we continue to bash the only actor in the value chain that is making
Visible efforts to improve. I tire for us. We will not allow it. We will continue to confront this organized attack on the Umpire with sacrosanct facts that are available to us. You don’t have PVC, never voted before, don’t even know what elections are about but when we talk,
