......abandoned IREV to favour APC


It has come to light that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) manipulated the election results of the just concluded Edo governorship election.


Evidence from INEC’s own INEC Result Viewing (IREV) platform, designed to ensure transparency, shows discrepancies between the actual results recorded on the platform and the final results announced by the electoral commission.


The discrepancies have solidified the verdict of various election observers that the results were manipulated in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo.

The IREV platform, a tool introduced by INEC to ensure real-time access to election results at the polling unit level, is meant to foster transparency and accountability.

However, in the case of the Edo governorship election, the platform appears to have been abandoned or manipulated to benefit the APC.


A detailed analysis of the results posted on the IREV platform as of September 21, 2024, reveals glaring irregularities compared with the official results announced by INEC on September 22, 2024.

Across several local government areas (LGAs) in Edo State, there were widespread reductions in the PDP’s vote totals and corresponding increases in the APC’s votes.

In Akoko-Edo, IREV results showed that the PDP had secured 20,101 votes. However, when INEC announced the results the following day, the PDP’s votes had been significantly reduced by 21.07%, leaving them with only 15,865 votes.


In contrast, the APC’s votes, initially recorded at 22,963 on the IREV platform, were increased by 34.10%, increasing to a whopping 34,847 votes in the final announcement.

This pattern of irregularities was repeated across multiple LGAs. In Egor LGA, the PDP’s votes on IREV were recorded as 27,621, but this was slashed by 46.93% to just 14,658 in the official announcement.

Meanwhile, the APC’s votes, originally 10,202, were inflated by 39.13% to 16,760.

In Esan Central LGA, the PDP’s original votes of 10,794 were reduced by 20.16% to 8,618, while the APC’s votes jumped by 38.86% from 6,719 to 10,990.

These manipulations were not isolated incidents. The trend of decreasing PDP votes and inflating APC votes persisted across other LGAs, such as Esan Southeast, Esan West, Igueben, Orhionmwon, and Ovia North East, pointing to a coordinated effort to alter the election’s outcome.

The IREV platform was widely regarded as a breakthrough in ensuring election transparency, allowing citizens and political parties to track election results in real time.

However, the abandonment of IREV in the Edo election raises troubling questions.

PDP officials and civil society groups have accused INEC of deliberately sidelining the platform in favour of manual result manipulation at the collation centres under pressure from the APC.

A senior official within INEC, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed frustration over the role of political appointees in the electoral process, stating:

“Many of us in the commission were disappointed with how things turned out. The IREV platform showed what happened at the polling units. But at the state collation centre, there was a lot of interference from top officials, particularly the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).”

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Edo State, Anugbum Onuoha, has been at the centre of the allegations.

According to multiple sources within INEC, Onuoha oversaw the manipulation of the results in favour of the APC.

The REC reportedly threatened INEC staff with arrests by the Department of State Security (DSS) and termination of employment if they did not cooperate in changing the results to secure a victory for Senator Okpebholo.

One INEC staff member, who requested anonymity due to fear of retribution, said:

“We were ordered to reduce the votes for PDP and increase APC’s numbers. Those who resisted were threatened with DSS arrest and losing their jobs. It was clear that there was a plan to manipulate the results in favour of APC.”


While the initial IREV results pointed to a PDP victory, with the party securing substantial leads in several key areas, the final results declared by INEC shifted the balance in favour of the APC.

For instance, in Esan Southeast, the PDP’s original votes of 10,565 were increased to 14,199, but the APC’s votes were reduced by 9.99% from 9,237 to 8,398 in what appears to be a strategic adjustment.

In Ovia South West, the PDP’s numbers were slashed by 18.95% from 12,659 to 10,260, while the APC’s votes remained unchanged.

In total, the PDP’s vote tally dropped by 37.73%, from 314,676 votes recorded on IREV to just 195,954 votes in the final announcement. In contrast, the APC’s vote total increased by 8.58%, rising from 223,619 votes to 244,606 votes.

Civil society organizations have also expressed their concerns, with the Election Integrity Coalition calling for the immediate resignation of Onuoha and a thorough audit of the election process.

Dr. Nneoma Adigwe, head of the coalition, said: “INEC’s abandonment of the IREV platform is deeply troubling.

“It was designed to ensure transparency, yet in this election, it has been ignored to manipulate the outcome. We call on the relevant authorities to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.”

I have told you that under Tinubu, Nigeria is doomed!

Do you expect a certificate forger to give you free & fair election!

They are already rehearsing 2027 for you.

Only a revolution can save Nigeria!

Stop playing!

..edolites read carefully..this is what Apcshit & BATists called electoral victory..

The REC reportedly threatened INEC staff with arrests by the Department of State Security (DSS) and termination of employment if they did not cooperate in changing the results to secure a victory for Senator Okpebholo.

..the BATists were sent immediately after the fraudulent election in Edo to go on social media to castigate Obaseki as if he did nothing for the people of edo..they were lots of lies & propaganda as to why Obaseki was fraudulently rigged..so as to defend the sudden increase of votes manipulated by Inec under pressure from APCshit..

..Thief'nubu, Inec & Mahmud da criminal must nöt be allowed to conduct any election in Nigeria..

..allowing that means the geographical expression will remain with Apcshit fir the rest of her emilokan life..

I'd just say Stalin was right (see below).
But truth is, we politicians all rig (or would rig if we could).

This is not a good news.

Oh, this is what Wike feels he would do in Rivers come 2027...this would lead to complete anarchy.

This is illegal and would lead to more troubles in time to come.

… Complete disregard for electoral laws.

This is clear rigging. I knew it was impossible for APC to win the governors local government.

This is a charade!

No REC has gone to jail, this is why this madness continues

This news too correct
The result looks fake
Some accredited voters less the large amount of vote

Jargons as usual.

I think the PDP should present all evidences to the court of public opinion AKA court of the masses for proper scrutiny.

The best we can do now is to name and shame INEC.

Even if they bring a billion megabytes of undisputable facts that APC rigged,

Tribunal, Appeal courts and Supreme Court witl tell us they did not prove their case.

They should not waste their time going to the Supreme Court.

The Edo REC, being Wike's cousin was supposed to refuse himself from participating in the election.
He should have recused himself for the election period and resumed work after the election.

It is not unheard of. It has happened very many times before in this country.
RECs have been redeployed many times in this country even in the week of elections.

Anytime Apc win, Ibo’s will start crying,opening many crying and wailing treads! Wetin co-sign Una with edo election?? You see why mc oluomo Dey beat Una head like drums! Next election Una go carry Una empty heads come Lagos again!

Written by a nonetity and posted on a useless blog.

Fake news from staple of PDP/LP stand.

Anyone still expecting a free and fair election in a country called Nigeria is still suffering from Daylight dreaming....

This looks like a PR.
Waiting for an objective assessment of the IREV result.
Discrepancies between IREV and INEC figures are not a problem
since the law gives INEC various power to cancel certain votes it considers void.

What would be troubling is to see massive difference between the IREV and
INEC figures as obtained in Rivers in the last presidential elections.

There is something unintelligent about this.

If you reduced someone's votes and inflated someone else's votes with figures that are not commensurate, then the differential was thrown away.

How many did BVAS accredit?

At what stage were the figures changed? Was money exchanged? How much? Who were the recipients?

What was the mess of INEC not including a module in their IREV so that when voting finishes, all results are entered digitally along with the picture of the Forms EC8A. Once all the results are entered, they can be transmitted to INEC's servers where INEC can verify and authenticate the results.

The idea of sending results to LGAs and wards is a Jega invention. It is archaic and shameful that things are still done that way. What if there is an accident and the result sheets are damaged?

INEC knows the way to bypass manipulation. Unfortunately, politicians make the laws to run INEC and because they all aspire to cheat for their own benefits, they suppress things to checkmate manipulations.

I have no pity for PDP or APC; let PDP come out and admit they did not buy votes or attempt to influence results.

madridguy:
Jargons as usual.

What's jargons as usual? Did you read the analysis? At least I made a cross check on some of the figures he posted there and found it to be true! May God have mercy on your wicked soul. Leo Tolstoy once said " if you feel pain, you are alive, but it you feel the pains of others, then you are human" That's why you are known as a terrorist sympathizer on this forum, because to you, apc is another Hezbollah, shame!

It won't cost more than 2 million to engage a neutral independent party to transcribe the result of the election and present the result before INEC finishes doing its abracadabra.

Yet, foolish and corrupt political parties would rather share billions on election day to buy votes while the equally stupid populace collect from the shared billions and parrot propaganda on social media about election being rigged.

Go and transcribe the results from the polling units and go to court if it differs from what was announced. Posting useless analysis on sm will not change the outcome of the election.
