OSUN 2018 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTIONS: PDP LEAVE MAHMOOD YAKUBU ALONE.

"The Commission has been applying this regulation in several elections. So there is nothing new here. This was applied in Governorship elections in:

1. Imo State [2011 and 2015]
2. Anambra State [2013]
3. Taraba State [2015]
4. Kogi State [2015]
5. Bayelsa State [2015] etc.

Let us take a look at examples of these inconclusive elections.

Case Number [1]
IMO GUBER ELECTIONS 2015

Okorocha [APC]—385,671
Ihedioha [PDP] ——306,142
Margin———79,529
Cancelled votes——144,715

From the above, it is evident that the margin or victory was lower than the cancelled votes, a number that is enough to alter the balance. The Commission under Professor Attahiru Jega did the needful and promptly declared the elections inconclusive.

Take note that my party, the ruling party then hailed the decision and applauded the decision of the INEC, calling it a "patriotic and sound decision". Of course, PDP kicked against it. A re-run election was scheduled. Recall that a similar situation had happened in 2011 in the same IMO between Okorocha and Ikedi Ohakim where INEC had declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards.

Case Number [2]
ANAMBRA SENATORIAL ELECTION 2011

Dora Akunyili [APGA] ——66,273
Chris Ngige [ACN] ——65,576
Margin —697

INEC declared the elections inconclusive because elections did not take place in some wards with a voting population that was higher than the margin of victory.

Case Number [3]
KOGI GUBER ELECTION 2015

Abubakar Audu [APC] —240,867
Wada Idris [PDP] —199,514
Margin —————41,353
Cancelled votes ———49,953

Again, the margin here was less than the cancellations and was rightly declared inconclusive by Professor Mahmood Yakubu led INEC.

The point to note here was that the APC was by this time the ruling party and clearly had a huge lead but Yakubu still refused to budge under pressure by the ruling party to announce it as winner. My party the PDP applauded it.

CASE NUMBER [4]
BAYELSA GUBER ELECTIONS 2015

Dickson [PDP] ——105,748
Sylva [APC]——72,594
Margin ——33,154

In the case of Bayelsa, a contraption of an election had taken place in Southern Ijaw which had Sylva winning the entire 120,000 votes in that area, but this much maligned Yakubu refused to accept it , declared it inconclusive and ordered a re-run for the number of registered voters were clearly more than the margin of victory. The PDP received this news well and celebrated it.

CASE NUMBER [5]
ANAMBRA GUBER ELECTION 2013

Obiano [APGA] —174,710
Tony Nwoye [PDP] —94,956
Margin——79,754
Cancelled votes——113,113

Again the Commission under Jega declared it inconclusive and the PDP celebrated it as a bold move.

Mahmood’s sins is simply that he accepted to serve under this president and for some, that is an unforgivable sin. But it is immaterial, Yakubu is on track and will not be distracted. I love my party but I must stand by truth and justice. Nothing less is demanded of me.

What can you say about the votes reduced by INEC?

mercenary:
What can you say about the votes reduced by INEC?

Go to Election Tribunal after the rerun and state your claims bro....Nairaland cannot help you on that one.

Why are these young Nigeria can't just have common sense in drawing conclusion from dissimilar scenario. In Osun state ALL the local government were declared if Buhari Inec wanted to declare inconclusive election then those four LG would not have been declared as the case of southern ijaw in bayelsa and all other inconclusive elections.

I have always wanted to see the face of at least one nairaland zombie
ugly morafuka



no pdp will not leave inec alone. now die!!!!

APC should concede defeat pronto.

No number of cheap hacks and peripathetic hirelings like the author of this piece will change the inevitable.

Pdp and wailing


Things must always favours them else, its fake

Quidquopro:
But INEC have admitted to reducing PDP's votes

Please qoute where Inec admitted to reducing votes Pdp legally won?


Propaganda will not kill you ppl

Will Pdp concede if they were in Apc's shoes?

Mahmoud Yakoub is an APC chieftain

He has been colluding with APC to change results at collation centres

From Edo, to Ekiti to now Osun

The INEC boss is in bed with APC, he needs to be neutral

He must start posting results on twitter straight from the polling units

The lack of transparency from INEC is responsible for rigging and I blame INEC for this

What a Nigerian coward
