IMO GUBER: INEC FRUSTRATING MOVES TO INSPECT BIVAS – SEN. ACHONONU LAMENTS.

After 19 days of the conduct of the governorship election in Imo State, the candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the election, Sen. Athan Achononu has raised alarm that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is frustrating every attempt to inspect the Bi-modal Voter Accreditation System (B-VAS) used during the conduct of the exercise.

Recall that Presidential Candidate of the same party Peter Obi on Monday lamented that several months after the Supreme Court delivered judgement on the Presidential election, he is yet to get a Certified True Copy (CTC) after he requested and made payments for it.

Sen. Achononu in chat with the media in Abuja on Wednesday wondered why the electoral empire is foot-dragging in allowing him access to the materials knowing fully well that he has limited time to tender his evidence before the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

The former lawmaker who claimed that he won the election, said that the delay in releasing the BVAS for inspection my be part of the plans by the ruling party to force him to file his petitions out of time and get his matter struck out on technical grounds.

He said, “What is happening right now is that we went to the Tribunal, got an order for us to be allowed to inspect the BVAS. INEC has refused to let us inspect the BVAS up till now. Lawyers and experts were hired at a very huge cost per day 30 million, they are not allowing us to inspect it despite court order”.

The governorship candidate called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu whom he described as a democrat who went through the trenches to ensure that democracy returns to the country, to intervene and compel INEC to do the right thing. He said that Tinubu’s antecedent as one who fought for democracy is the only thing sustaining his desire to seek justice at the tribunal.

“What gives me confidence is that Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was on the street for June 12, he made us believe that he was a democrat fighting for justice, freedom of choice and equal opportunity.

“Well, he is in the same party with Sen. Hope Uzodimma but this country shouldn’t be about party, it should be about quality of persons, what do you represent. I was in the senate with the first Lady, Sen. Tinubu, I know the kind of person she is, a person of integrity, how can they allow this kind of thing to happen under their watch.” He queried.

Sen. Achononu said that the INEC Chairman during the stakeholders meeting pledged that election result collations will start from the ward to the local government before the state but lamented that collation never took place in any ward. He accused INEC of colluding with the ruling party in the state to announce results that were not signed even when party agents were raising objections as to the credibility of those results.

“When we came to stakeholders meeting, we told the INEC chairman Prof. Mahmoud that there are certain things he needs to put in place for a smooth election. One is the removal of the REC. Secondly is that collation must take place at the ward level, local government level before the state level. We insisted that the result sheets must be signed by three officers, a national commissioner, the REC and each EO will sign that of his local government so that there will be no manipulation of the result sheets and he agreed.

“But surprisingly on the election day, there was no collation at the ward level even in some local governments. They moved everything to the state and in those places where there were insecurity and no election, results were collated, there were cluster voting in Orsu” Achononu lamented.

The LP candidate however expresses slight hope that he will get justice in the judiciary, saying that all hope is not lost.

He said, “I still have belief and faith in the survival of this country. I still claim that there are some men of integrity within the judiciary. These are men who hold the power of life and death over us. These are men who are supposed to live above reproach. There must be one or two of them, I hope I come across one of them in my case. I still believe in this country no matter what anybody says. Something will happen. Yes, I have come across a lot of men of integrity in this country, very few of them. I want to think that this will be the first test case of the judiciary, let’s see what happens” he said with an air of matchless confidence.

***MEANWHILE...

Another video is circulating, where a certain man -- believed to be the INEC-REC of Imo State -- was begging some stakeholders and chiefs who were standing there to go inside the building and inspect the [b]“DOCUMENTS”..
But the stakeholders stood there and were looking at the man as he continued to beg and plead.

The man was caught on camera begging both LP-members and NNPP-members that are there to go inside and inspect the DOCUMENTS.. And that APGA had already gone inside, and that they are inspecting the materials with their officials inside..

This one is saying one thing here,, another man is over there on the other side saying another thing altogether..!!

Tinubu will be remembered as a disaster of a president that destroyed Nigerian institutions

Democracy is clearly not working in Nigéria!

What does he need the BVAS for? Do you want to take INEC to the same court APC has hijacked?

Irresponsible elders - who demand respect from young people - have hijacked this country.

Tinubu's lieutenants are learning all his criminal tricks

BluntCrazeMan:
E don set..

One thing here,, another thing on the other side.

Oga,forget this matter.its a dead issue

garfield1:


Its a dead issue

Explain this particular phrase in full details.

Same thing playing out in Kogi. Same BVAS INEC will later deny? Desperately trying to perfect the rigging plan of the last election.

INEC party can't be trusted always

What is the problem of inec? Why are they always acting as if they are the ones that contest the election.

Give certified copy of the election you conducted to candidate that wants to challenge the outcome of election na problem for inec. Nawao

Hmmm issoright

He should congratulate Uzondima instead of chasing shadows.

It's traditional for INEC.

Stop all these noise. Na today una sabi inec? Inec is a branch of APC,and they do what APC wants them to do.

The presidential election wey favour you Una no check, why check this one?

Apply, pay the requisite fees and wait for compilation!

Gaskia!

INEC was quick to release everything to SDP in Kogi state,but frustrating LP in Imo.
If gov Bello of Kogi is not smart enough , the results in the central senatorial zone of Kogi will be cancelled & the SDP candidate will be declared winner.
You'll be surprised that Tinubu is in the know of this plot

Something applicable I'm Kogi state as well. INEC are evils.

Uzondinma won fair and square.

APC, PDP and LP..all of Una mad together

Ogbeni stop disturbing us jare

INec is an appendage of APc

Oga park well

APC, PDP and LP..all of Una mad together

The country is dead




under the watchful eyes of Tinubu
With total support from Yoro Muslims

Lol
You lost sir move on and plan better next time
You’ll just waste your money

Always playing the blame game. LP will die a natural death after 2027 elections.

Wait o. The same candidate who was flogged with a wide margin?
By now he should be aware that the case is as good as dead in the courts!
Uzodinma came prepared for the election
