Fall-out Of River State Electoral Tribunal by tonykel1(m): 7:52pm On Jul 05, 2015
I got this whatsapp message and thought that you too should know about this IRON LADY OF INEC. I know as of fact that the WORLD and INEC is at her feet.Please, kindly circulate until SHE AND INEC AUTHORITIES BECOME AWARE OF HER ACTIVITIES IN RIVERS STATE


"MRS. NANCY O. GAFFAR: INEC, PDP PLAGUE ON LAWYERS AND ELECTION PETITIONS IN RIVERS STATE....

Who knows this Lady, MRS. NANCY O. GAFFAR? Mrs. Nancy Gaffar is the Legal Officer in the Rivers State INEC Office. She is one of the most powerful INEC Staff in Rivers State. Whereas, Mr. Bocco Ekong was the PDP heat man during the elections, Mrs. Gaffar is the heat person of the PDP for the Election Petitions Tribunal. She is said to have very top godfathers at INEC Head Office in Abuja, including National Commissioners. She has a very strong ties with Mr. Bawa, the Head of Legal Department. Mrs. Abirimire, a National Commissioner, is also there for her.

She is so untouchable, more so now that Hajia Aminia Zakari has been appointed the Ag. National Chairman of the Commission. Mrs. Gaffar was boasting on Friday that the Ag. National Chairman CANNOT do anything to her because, according to her, they have come a long way; adding that for the same reasons JEGA DID NOT AND COULD NOT DEPLOY HER, IS THE SAME REASON AMINA CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO HER.

Mrs. Gaffar, single handedly has prevented all the lawyers in Rivers State from obtaining the document EC17, which is the oath of neutrality expected to be deposed by every staff of INCE that participated in the General Election 2015. Because, 75% of the adhoc staff were substituted, that oath was not taken. As cover up, she has made it impossible for any political party to have FORM EC17; except the PDP.

The APC had alleged that she is the reason that her Forensic Experts have not been allowed access to documents as ordered by the Tribunal. The APC also alleged that they had petitioned her to the Inspector General of Police, but to no avail. But for now, all of those are fruitless actions. A very close source (a Deputy Director) in INEC National Office said that Mrs. Gaffar, Mr. Bawa Mrs. Eremere and 3 other National Commissioners are part of Nyesom Wike's cabal. The source added that Mr. Wike, through the Ag. Director Legal, appointed lawyers for INEC for every of the petitions in Rivers State, and that most of the lawyers have 4 to 6 cases each while others not nominated by Mr. Wike got only one each.

For us who represent the smaller political party, our interest is to be able to document our records. Mrs. GAFFAR must not punish us because of her hatred for the APC. Mrs. Aminia Zakari must proof to lawyers and political parties and indeed Nigerians that Mrs. Gaffar is not her front as is speculated, nor is she under Mrs. Gaffar's aprons-string. MRS. GAFFAR MUST BE CALLED TO ORDER OR REDEPLOYED

Please, this message MUST GO ROUND UNTIL IT GETS TO AMINA ZAKARI.
