ABUJA – The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress APC, Yekini Nabena has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP of hiring a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC as an ‘election consultant’ as part of last-minute strategy to win the forthcoming polls at all costs.

Speaking Sunday in Abuja, Nabena, who declined to to disclose the name of the former INEC chairman, however challenged the PDP and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to deny the allegation and equally charged relevant authorities to investigate the veracity of his allegation.


“Following the exposure of the PDP’s initial plot to use Russian hackers to compromise INEC servers, the PDP has now hired a former INEC Chairman as an election consultant. This INEC Chairman was notorious for rigging elections for the PDP over the years.


“The plan is to use INEC officials who remain loyal to the former INEC Chairman and under his payroll to compromise the system from within.” Nabena said.

Asked to comment on the uproar that greeted the recent appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakari as chair of INEC’s ad hoc committee on National Collation Centre for the 2019 elections, the Bayelsa-born APC Chieftain said Nigerians should not be deceived by the PDP-sponsored protest and fake news over her appointment.

“The baseless protest is a ploy to create a distraction for their (PDP’s) election rigging and hacking plans.

“The PDP has deliberately chosen to be blind to the fact that Mrs. Amina Zakari is not a blood relation of the President as it alleges. In fact, her appointment was done by their very own former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Besides, INEC has publicly stated the roles of its recently inaugurated adhoc committees. The collation centre committee chaired by Mrs. Amina Zakari is in charge of operational logistics of the centre such as electricity, internet, live transmission as well as accreditation for access to the ICC and security of the venue.

“Mrs. Amina Zakari’s committee is not saddled with actual collation of results. Only the chairman of INEC, who is the returning officer for presidential election, decides the validity of votes”, he said.

Whatever PDP and other political parties can do to checkmate the rigging plans of APC is welcome. 2019 is not 2007. Those who claim to be saints should show example, even in conducting elections.

If APC thinks PDP will allow them rig the forth coming elections, then they should think again.

My prayer is that any political party that will rig this 2019 election their candidate will die.. IJN, Amen..

See some assholes supporting nonsense on the thread already

It is Maurice Iwu

Atiku and his gang of thieves aren't interested in campaigning, they are interested in getting loopholes in the processes and institutions.

Wike bribing judges, PDP hiring a former INEC chairman, Saraki amending the Electoral bill and removing incident forms, etc

Come out and campaign, mba.

Death before election to any candidate whose sole hope of winning this election is rigging. Think of rigging and sleep forever.

Wa

Atiku get oil 4 head

Hehehehe

Nabena or Ribena

We know APC to lie more than the devil, so we can only laugh at your unintelligent propaganda.

Buhari's relation cannot be the chairman of collation committee in an election that Buhari is a candidate.

Speaking Sunday in Abuja, Nabena, who declined to to disclose the name of the former INEC chairman, however challenged the PDP and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to deny the allegation and equally charged relevant authorities to investigate the veracity of his allegation".

Inasmuch as it went baba back to Duara

Rigging is legal

If this allegation is true...then it has to be Maurice Iwu; he can rig for Africa...d baddest rigger ever liveth...i doff my hat sir...

They need to know all the elections cheating and fraud techniques abi?


Feel free to check my signature to compare, find and book cheap flights, hotels and cars worldwide. Save up to 80%.

So a former chairman of Inec employed as a consultant by pdp will help them rig the 2019 elections. While amina zakari a niece to president buhari serving as inec commissioner in charge of collation center can not rig successfully for apc
How daft can allegations get in this country all in a bid to swindle the gullible

Baseless allegation.

These politicians always coming up with different stories....please vote wisely!

Am I supposed to take Mr Ribena serious




Without mentioning the name of the supposedly hired Ex-INEC chairman

We can't be having a president that can't campaign... ordinary campaign oo

So many mathematicians in PDP .
Sense will not kill me!

All their plans will fail woefully.

Balderdash ... APC should stop spewing trash if you they ain't bold enough to mention names

Why can't they just say his name?

As the hunters have learned to shoot without missing, so the birds have learned to fly without perching.

This Ebira man no get semse at all

holyfather:

Why can't they just say his name?

Because Maurice Iwu has a terrible reputation and a bad name, PDP wants his services but don't want the baggage of having his name identified with them.

Why are the APC and its gang of zombies so daft? If the report were to be true, what precludes the PDP from hiring anyone it deems fit as a consultant? Or could that person be the useless Attahiru Jega, whom the APC used in 2015 to rig the election and are afraid he may disclose to the PDP how they could checkmate that same rigging style that the most useless president in the history of Nigeria, grossly incompetent Buhari, is trying to use in the forthcoming election?
APC una time don reach, na to pack and go remain.
Now be watching, the first two people to quote me will be zombies.
