How INEC Rigged Osun Election Through Situation Room – PDP

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Sunday that there was urgent need for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make its Situation Room available to both local and foreign observers so they could monitor the inflow of results nationwide.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said the call became necessary owing to the developments that played out during the last governorship election which was won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the election went into a rerun.

According to him, having monitored the election from their Situation Room and realising that the PDP was having the upper hand, INEC manipulated the results and declared the election inconclusive.

“We want independent observers to be present in INEC situation room so they can monitor the inflows of results.

“From information available to the PDP, what happened in Osun State was monitored from their situation room.

“When they discovered that APC was losing, they manipulated the process and declared the election inconclusive.

“There is no way they could have done that in the presence of local and foreign observers.

“So, what we are saying is that we should make the situation room open to everybody or wherever the transmission is going to occur, let it be open to observers and let them participate in the process so that it can be seen that the process is not being manipulated in favour of the ruling party.”

The party also said it was rejecting the extension of the tenure of the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, saying President Muhammadu Buhari was plotting to use him to rig the 2019 elections in APC’s favour.

Citing what happened during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure, the party said there were pressures on Jonathan to extend the tenure of the then IGP, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, but he rejected it and appointed Suleiman Abba in his place.

“We are rejecting the tenure extension of the current IGP because we believe that he will be used by the APC to rig the 2019 elections.

“We believe that what is honourable is for him to finish his tenure and leave. We are also calling on him to ensure that he insulates the Nigerian police from partisanship and leave a legacy that Nigerians will remember him for,” the party said.

However, when Daily Independent contacted Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, he declined to comment on the issue, saying he would need approval to do so.

Where do you peoples brains come from... what does observe mean to you?

This is an outstanding opinion, if the results cannot be transmitted because of fear of "Russians", are the Russians observing aswell?

They should have called for Secondus to be appointed the INEC Chairman to appease them..

Another one, you should have just kept quiet and keep us in doubt, now dull is littered everwhere.

Are the russians Inec again?...

Useless criminals. How many foreigners did they allow in there when they held sway for SIXTEEN YEARS?

They should simply ask Buhari to make the Pope INEC Chairman naw.

Useless cows who wouldn't mind we gave up our sovereignty just to promote their desperate bid to put their sticky fingers into our nation's treasury.

You are talking of sovereignty,?

You must not have been born in 2015 when Washington practically ran the apc campaign with axelrod.

Lol as predicted ...

dimwits dont fall too far from the tree.

If INEC is sincere, local and foreign observers should be allowed into the situation room

Who gives a shiit who runs anybody's campaign? Have you ever seen me complain about the consultants pdp is using?

Is there any law forbidding apc or pdp from using consultants from any country or planet?

Pdp and Atukus desperation to crawl their way back into the nation's treasury is nauseating. Thankfully, that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

Nonsense.

Saw a pig pass right in front of this abattoir. Guess it is rushing to go gobble on the fresh cow dungs being disposed nearby. I have a very strong feeling about the identity of the pig.

Nonsense.

Since you agree that both parties don't care about your sovereignty, why are you attacking the pdp only?

Oh I guess, any excuse to paint pdp as the bad guys.

And in case you don't know, pdp will win one day.
Maybe not in 2019, but soon.

They are too big not to rule Nigeria again.

Lame.... imagine such lame writeup from a grown adult, you could have told stories of the "Tortise and the Hare" or "Agbo and Edet"... wait, "Ali and Simbi" would have made more sense.

..

This is the modern day apc

since the president is not ready to sign electoral amendment ,the international community should intervene

Jawjaw? .... wait i have a new story you can reason with.

"Mr salami lives in Sapele"

this is the best way to go for transparency and a credible poll that will be acceptable to all. INEC, should do the needfull. Any thing other than this will mean the result will be unacceptable as it look as though it was doctored. Allow the process to be transparent and monitored if you are not planning anything shady.

If you don't trust the doctor to carry out operations on your wife inside the theatre, don't bother bring him to the hospital..

If you don't trust INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL BODY, don't participate, may be u ask Sudanese electoral body to conduct elections for you and CUPP
