The Ebonyi South People's Democratic Party Senatorial candidate, Barr Silas Joseph Onu has reiterated that he's still in the race of February 3rd 2024 bye-election.

It can be recalled that the seat of Ebonyi South senatorial district was declared vacant after the former Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi resigned the elective position to serve as Minister of Work.

Barr Onu who was optimistic that the party would defeat the opposition All Progressives Congress in the bye-election and called on his supporters to come out en-mass and vote the Peoples Democratic Party.

He commended people of the zone for their acceptance despite humiliation from government officials and vowed to resist such on election day.

The Peoples Democratic Party candidate tasked security agencies to be professional in their and nonpartisan in the discharge of their duty.

He also appealed to the people of Ebonyi South to vote for PDP as the era of imposition of candidate is over in the zone while promising to defend their votes.

Let me tell the full story of what happened during the Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa Governorship Elections.

After reading my story, you would realize that the INEC’s IREV-Portal is totally unreliable, and cannot be trusted for any reason at-all.

Recall that the election took place on the 11th November, 2023.
..
So, it happened that during the afternoon time on the election day, the IREV-Portal was actually automatically synchronising with the BVAS-Machines without the human input of any of the Presiding Officers (nor any of the ICT staff at the backend servers)

That is, after every Hour or thereabout, all the BVAS-Machines everywhere would automatically synchronise their data with the IREV-Portal without any human input, and the Accreditation Details from the BVAS-Machines would automatically reflect and update itself on the IREV-Portal for the public to view -- even while the elections were still going on..

This means that, even before the photos of the hand-written results-sheets started to get uploaded to the IREV-Portal,, the automatically-generated accreditation data had already started appearing on the IREV-Portal for the various polling-units.

The whole INEC’s magic started occuring in the evening time when the photos of the hand-written results started popping up on the IREV-Portal.
For instance, some Polling-units would have their automatically-generated accreditation data showing to be as low as “45” on the IREV-Portal, while the hand-written uploaded results would have the number of accredited voters to be as high as “309” or some high values similar to that.

The people raised alarm immediately..


The INEC released a statement to that effect, and explained that the synchronisation was still going on; and therefore the Automatically-Generated Accreditation Data which the people are seeing on the IREV-Portal were not supposed to be the final accreditation values.

Some people sensed that the INEC might soon start manipulating the figures on the IREV-Portal from the backend servers, and they immediately used some web-programs to download the whole Automatically-Generated Accreditation figures, tabulate them, and reproduced them in Excel-Spreadsheet format, and kept them for future use.


The next day after the election, that-is, on the 12th of November 2023,, the IREV-Portal-Observers started noticing another magic.

All those small accreditation values on the IREV-Portal started changing to “very high” values in such a way that the IREV-Portal-Observers grew very suspicious of those values all-over again.

For instance, a polling-unit that earlier had something like “45” as the Automatically-Generated Accreditation Data on the IREV-Portal, and with something like “309” as the hand-written accredited voters on the uploaded photo of the results-sheet, would now come at last to be having something like “476” on the IREV-Portal as the automatically-generated accreditation data.

The people raised alarm again.
And started asking some series of critical questions..

“How can it be that the automatically-generated accreditation data for the polling-units are more than the accredited voters that were written on the uploaded results.??”

“So, does it mean that the synchronisation started over-synchronizing itself, or what”??


The IREV-Portal-Observers waited for the INEC’s response again, but INEC didn't release any further statements this time around, rather they just silently went back to the IREV-Portal and started re-adjusting the values of all those “over-shooting” automatically-generated accreditation data all-over-again in order to come down and coincide with the values of the accredited voters that were hand-written on the photos of the uploaded results.

Now, the people still raised another alarm all-over again.!!

Does it mean that the synchronization was just going up-and-down anyhow it liked??

The synchronization was just supposed to be going ONLY UP-AND-UP, until it reaches to the value it is supposed to be, and then stop going up; and not to be going up-and-down anyhow.

The people demanded for strong explanations from INEC,, but none came forth.

The people even asked many other stronger questions..
For instance...
Why were there so many Polling-Units in Imo State where there were NO Automatically-Generated Accreditation Data,, yet there were results-sheets uploaded for such polling-units.??



And BOOOMM.!!
The Worst Thing Happened.


INEC silently went back again and WIPED-OUT All the Automatically-Generated Accreditation Data from the IREV-Portal entirely, and they remained Wiped-out on the IREV-Portal up-till this very moment.

This clearly shows that the IREV-Portal is at the mercy of the INEC’s ICT staff. These staff were freely manipulating the IREV-Portal anyhow they liked, and it means that they can even switch the whole IREV-Portal itself off anytime they want.





This whole story sounds so funny.
But it happened right in front of our very own eyes.


If the INEC’s Staff were not the ones that were changing the values up-and-down anyhow,, then, let INEC come out openly and deny it, and also give us full explanations of what really happened.

AND THAT IS WHY,, WHENEVER I CONTINUE TO SAY THAT THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE (AND THE NIGERIAN VOTERS) SHOULDN'T TRUST THE INEC’S IREV-PORTAL FOR ANY REASON AGAIN,, I TRULY MEAN EVERY SINGLE WORD OF WHAT I AM SAYING.

In Imo State for instance,, only APC Agents were allowed into the ward collation centers and LGA Collation Centers. The Police and Army used Force to stop all the other Agents from other parties from entering the collation centers..

**(It is at the Ward-collation-centers that the pictures of the hand-written results-sheets which were snapped at the Polling-units were uploaded to the IREV-Portal.
But then, the Electoral-Act allowed ONLY accredited persons to enter the venues of the collation centers.. It is not everybody that is allowed to enter the collation centers.. So, the police and military now used the opportunity of the exclusion-law to block-off EVERYBODY ELSE, including the duly accredited party-agents of other political parties, which is very unfair and fraudulent).

Thus, when the State Chairman of the Labour-Party went to the State Collation Center to report about the total exclusion of the accredited Party-Agents of Labour-Party from the collation-exercise which happened at all the various wards and LGAs,, he was beaten mercilessly by the party-agents of APC in front of the whole police and military men at the venue, and was bundled out of the hall like he was a criminal.

....
** POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS..
The solution to the above situation, is for THE PEOPLE (that is, THE VOTERS THEMSELVES) to also serve as unregistered Party-Agents after casting their Votes, and to follow their votes to the Collation Centers, and stay outside the venue and be reminding them to upload the right results to the IREV-Portal.
**(The “Kano-State” Style..)

Large groups of people, ordinary people, crowding at the front of the venue of the collation centers,, singing songs..
Letting the people inside to know that they're waiting for them outside.

WITH THIS MOVE ALONE FROM THE PEOPLE,, THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY WILL NOT HAVE THE GUTS TO DARE TO DISALLOW ANY DULY ACCREDITED PARTY-AGENT FROM ANY POLITICAL PARTY (OR ANY DULY ACCREDITED OBSERVER) FROM ENTERING THE VENUE OF THE COLLATION.
