2019 ELECTION TRIBUNAL : DEMOLA OLANREWAJU COUNTERED FESTUS KEYAMO
.
Feels good to have APC on the defensive all the time and to see Keyamo struggling to defend the indefensible fraud of February 23.

Notice though he has learnt from his past gaffe when PDP quoted his petition to the police on the subject of INEC server to prove their existence.

Unfortunately for Keyamo, his understanding of the law is outdated - but no surprises there as he was more involved only recently with sharing campaign money and now twisting truths to justify a fraudulent election - those are his personal problems though.

I’ll clarify again:

Section 49 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) gives INEC the power to conduct elections manually.

Section 52 was amended in 2015 to state that:

“voting at an election shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

Under Section 52 therefore, INEC guidelines for the conduct of an election are totally upheld.

The question now therefore is: what electoral procedures did INEC adopt for the conduct of the 2019 general elections?

To answer that, we should rely on INEC’s own documents.

INEC’s training manuals for Presiding Officers (POs) included this document below to guide them on how to use the Smart Card Reader, not only for the accreditation and voting processes, but also for the process of manual and electronic collation - e-collation, in the election.

Wary that some POs may be too busy with other activities after voting to collate the results electronically, INEC engaged some Technical Support persons for Registration Areas and they were dubbed RATechs - Registration Area Tech And also had LGATech in fact to assist further.

RATechs were deployed one per Ward, or two per Ward for Wards with large numbers of Polling Units.

The sole duty of the RATech was to provide technical assistance for the POs with the SCR (Smart Card Reader) for accreditation, voting and transmission of results (see above tweet)

In INEC’s own training manual video for the Presiding Officers, there was provision for e-collation as seen in this short video extract.

(There are other juicy bits from this video but that will be reserved for the Tribunal - this one should suffice in addition to tweets above.)

For anyone to say as Keyamo has said, that INEC guidelines (which power it derives from Section 52 of the Electoral Act 2010 - as amended) does not provide for e-collation is blatant falsehood.

This same Keyamo inadvertently confirmed it earlier with his police petition!

I can understand that Keyamo is a neophyte in politics because even as far back as Edo gubernatorial elections in 2015, INEC was using e-collation and we knew it: Deji Adeyanju and myself led the PDP Situation Room in Benin and we had Abuja insiders who kept us updated.

In every election since Edo in 2015, Mahmud Yakubu used e-collation and was always aware of the results directly from the field, from inside his space in Abuja.

That Situation Room was to be thrown open to observers this year for the first time but “something” overtook it.

But no need for mental gymnastics on this, let’s quote the words of top INEC Officers - starting with Prof. Segun Agbaje - Resident Electoral Commissioner for Osun State.

Here, he confirms that INEC was to use e-collation for the Osun election last year.

If you don’t like the man’s suit or his demeanour, here again is Mike Igini, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Akwa-Ibom, oratorically explaining on February 10, how the e-collation process was to be deployed on February 23:

To sum it all up, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu himself confirmed that results were to be collated electronically on February 23.

The logical question after this should then be:

Did INEC collate the results of the presidential election both electronically and manually or only manually?

The straightforward answer is that INEC did - but the manually collated figures had been tampered with and did not tally with the electronically collated figures.

So INEC declared Buhari as the winner based on the falsified manually accredited figures and denied e-collation.

Unfortunately for INEC and Keyamo (along with Keyamo’s rigging paymasters), Atiku has sent to the Tribunal, the sworn testimony of dozens of POs who swear that they collated results electronically.

Fortunately for Democracy however, Atiku got the figures from their server.

So not only will Atiku prove that INEC made provisions for e-collation, trained its staff to do it but also that results were electronically compiled and that the figures which show that he won the February 23 elections were sourced directly from INEC’s own unique server.

This story is rich in details and the statement by YIAGA which monitored the elections of February 23 is further evidence of e-collation.

Where it falls short is in taking cognisance of Section 52 of the Electoral Act which gives INEC electoral leeway.

The matter of e-collation is however only a subsection of 1 section out of 5 that Atiku is challenging the February 23 electoral fraud on - we’re discussing them one by one: last week was Buhari’s qualification, this week is e-collation - and Keyamo is a good customer .

#AtikuIsComing is the hashtag that scares APC the most on digital media but it is a reality that will be proven in court and upon which justice must be done.

Note that we haven’t yet come to the juicy details of how results were manipulated and how APC bought votes very openly.

For now, the subject of e-collation has been conclusively proven in the court of public opinion - INEC planned to do it and INEC did it.

That INEC is denying it now is only evidence that INEC compromised and INEC is guilty of perjury - some people may end up in jail eventually.

Just got this: we have many Presiding Officers in Nigeria to establish the truth and many more are still turning up, not mainly for Atiku but for the sake of Democracy.

INEC, quit lying! You cannot abort a baby that has been born, you can only kill it and be guilty of murder.

PART 2

2019 ELECTION TRIBUNAL : DEMOLA OLANREWAJU COUNTERED FESTUS KEYAMO
.

Is E-Collation ordinarily backed by law? No.

Section 52 of the EA however says that

“voting at an election shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

Even If INEC says it is using palm kernels for fingerprints.

The law is clear and unambiguous:

INEC is allowed by Section 52 of the Electoral Act to determine how it wants to conduct elections and in 2019, e-collation was used and no law prohibits the use of e-collation.

The position is very clear and direct.

Keyamo knew that if INEC said it will use e-collation, the law doesn’t forbid it.

And that’s why he lied that INEC guidelines did not include e-collation, whereas, it was a part of everything INEC did - and this is now proven publicly and will be upheld legally.

The confusion is in what Section 52 said before, that any electronic process is prohibited but the Section was amended in 2015 and gave INEC the power to conduct elections in any manner it seems fit - they can even use thunder and lightning if they like, the law supports them.

“voting at an election shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Independent National Electoral Commission.”

Was e-collation part of the procedure determined by INEC for February 23rd election? Yes.

And that ends it - and that’s why they’re saying it wasn’t.

Ratello:

Suicide and depression plus high blood pressure will abound this I am too sure of.
