Plans To Rig 2015 Elections With Photochromic Ballot Papers Uncovered by Precious91(m): 12:25pm On Jan 02, 2015
In desperate bid to return
President Jonathan back to power
come May 29, 2015, a powerful
delegation from the presidency
on Wednesday met with officials
of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) in
Abuja.
The meeting which took at the
commissions at about 12pm today
discussed how photochromic ballot
papers would be used 10 densely
populated Northern state during
the forth-coming Presidential
election to boast the chances of
the President Jonathan
Our source said the meeting had
in attendance some prominent
leaders of the north including,
Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa
state, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa-
Ibom State Four National
Directors of INEC, Minister of
Police Affairs, Jelil Adesiyan and
one other minister (withheld).
The source added that the
meeting cited the large turnout
of votes expected from the 10
northern states which
unfortunately is the stronghold
of the opposition All Progressives
Congress (APC), as the basis for
considering the option of using
photochromic ballot papers.
The discussion did not consider
using same in any of the
Southern region.
While the South South and South
East region are considered a
stronghold of President Jonathan
which will turn out large votes
for the president, the south West
is said to be a no go area as it is
believed the south western
states have already had a
bitter-bite of the tricks, and
that may make it impossible for
the use of the scientific ballot
papers.
It was not established as at
press time if the idea was
admitted, accepted and welcomed
in good faith but, the delegation
is expected to feed Vice
President, Arch Namadi Sambo
tonight on the strategies
discussed.
It would be recalled that the All
Progressives Congress (APC), had
in the wake of the defeat in the
Ekti State governorship election,
alleged that photochromic papers
were used in rigging the election
in favour of Governor Ayo Fayose
of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
This development prompted the
governor of Osun State, Rauf
Aregbesola to demonstrate how
the photochromic ballot papers
can be disabled during his last
campaign for the Osun State
governorship election in August.
