A recent revelation by some 13 presiding officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission that they transmitted the presidential election results electronically to the commission’s server has again put the commission on the spot and opened a vista of debate, writes Davidson Iriekpen
In his 139-page petition challenging the results at the election tribunal, Atiku said the results from INEC server showed he polled 18,356,732 votes to defeat Buhari who had 16,741,430 votes, which according to him, contradicted the results declared by INEC that said Buhari received 15,191,847 votes against Atiku’s 11,262,978.
To pacify the ruling party, the electoral umpire advised that it should not worry because there was nothing in the server. THISDAY checks revealed that as soon as Atiku publicised the INEC server ID to prove that he had genuine election results, operatives of the Department of State Services arrested workers in the commission’s IT department for leaking information on the server.
“I took part in the conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections of February 23, 2019, where I served as the Presiding Officer and I ensured the use of the Smart Card Reader for accreditation, verification, authentication, collation and transmission of votes in my polling unit,” one of the presiding officers said.
For instance, a public affairs analyst, Hamma Shehu, said: “INEC was clever by half. They played themselves, they think they can use technology and jettison it crookedly, unknown to them, everything digital has a footprint and cannot be deleted.” “Without referring to any particular pending election petition, there’s a need to generally guide Nigerians not to gullibly fall for the fantasy created by any video circulating where INEC official spoke of INEC’s plan to electronically transmit results before the elections.
“In anticipation of the electronic transmission, some crooks concocted fictitious results and perhaps in connivance with certain INEC insiders tried to upload those results into the server. The fact that electronic transmission didn’t happen destroyed their plan.
Inec and APC think they are smart in their smartness they have become more stupid.They connived with APC to rob Nigerians the mandate they gave Atiku.They can't get away with this not this time
Cameroonian failure!
inecnigeria result shows it is disenfranchising millions of Nigerians It is war crime to steal mandate and donate it to Buhari
