President Muhammadu Buhari visited his campaign headquarters in Abuja where he received updates on the performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Presidential Elections on 25th, Feb 2019.

The president who was cheered by the staff – was accompanied by the Director of Election Planning and Monitoring Babatunde Fashola, Director Contacts and Mobilization Hadiza Bala Usman, DG Campaign Council Rotimi Amaechi and APC National Chairman Adams Oshiomole and others.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, on Monday, urged Nigerians not to be intimidated by the ‘antics’ of the major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It also urged Nigerians to disregard fake election results being circulated on social media.

Mr Keyamo alleged that the PDP is plotting to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from completing the process of the February 23, Presidential Elections.

Mr Keyamo through a statement he signed, also alleged that the aim of the PDP is to declare false results in the social media ”in favour of its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar as the winner”.

A teacher shot his ex-wife dead on Saturday morning after a quarrel over a wooden wardrobe and handed himself over to the Police afterwards.

The Zambian Secondary School teacher identified as Kenneth Makina, shot and killed his wife, Charity Jikubi who was a police officer at the rank of inspector, according to reports.

The two were separated and inspector Jikubi went to pick a wardrobe from the house where her ex-husband stays and where she met her fate.

According to the report, Mrs. Jikubi reached the residence of Mr. Makina who was in a company of another woman.

The two started urging and later Mr. Makina removed a pistol and shot his ex-wife twice on the chest.

He reportedly later handed himself over to the police as investigation into the matter is underway.

Another corpse has just been discovered in the Abonnema community in Akuku-Toru Local Council Rivers State, following the violence that rocked the area in the just concluded presidential and national assembly elections.

It was gathered that the victim tried to save his life but unfortunately bled to death. Sources in the town claimed that over 20 persons were killed during the disturbances between rival political thugs that brought the polls to an abrupt end.

The military reportedly laid siege to all waterways, thus checking the movement in and out of the island locality.

PDP has rejected the 2019 presidential election results that are currently being released by INEC. The PDP chairman, Uche Secondus, made this known at a press conference this evening. Read the full text of his speech below

Our Democracy in Under Threat

Protocols:

1. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is forced to take a stand and make the following pronouncements at this crucial point because our democracy is under threat of derailment.

2. Firstly, I want to categorically state that our collation centers have all original results from every polling unit, in every ward, in every Local Government Area (LGA) in Nigeria, of which the international community is well aware, implying all results currently being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is incorrect thus unacceptable to our party and people.

3. Secondly, officials of both President Buhari’s government and the All Progressive Congress (APC), working with INEC officers, have tried to alter the course of history and disenfranchise our people through the cancellation and manipulation of figures for results already announced at polling units, nationwide, in Local Government Areas (LGAs) where our party, the PDP, had commanding votes; this must now be resisted by every well meaning Nigerian.

4. Thirdly, the ruling party’s strategy has indeed been murderous, undignified, and disrespectful of the wishes of the electorate, our people and the international community who have been in solidarity with our nation as we attempt to strengthen our democracy and its institutions.

5. Fourthly, in full view of the watching world, and despite efforts by our great party and its agents to adhere to every laid down provision for the 2019 general elections, the APC in collusion with INEC have taken aggressive steps, mostly through inducements, manipulation and incarcerations, using the elements of state power including the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army in particular, alongside other organizations including the Department of State Security (DSS) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to silence the voices of our long suffering people; this is disheartening, considering the terms of the Peace Accord, which called for impartiality and non-partisanship by members of our security organization with constitutional roles to play during this civic exercise.

6. Fifthly, as results trickled in on the Sunday, February 24th, 2019, clearly putting the PDP in the lead, the ruling party and President Buhari dispatched high-ranking officials to coercively influence outcomes in different geopolitical zones in the country. For example:

I. The minister of the interior, was dispatched to the North West of the country
II. The Secretary of the Government of the Federation was dispatched to the North East of the country; while the
III. The Attorney General and Minister were dispatched to the South East and South-South regions.

7. With the INEC IT server hacked by agents of the APC to manipulate results, we can with certainty state that results from the following polling units have, for example, been tampered with, note:

i. Sarkin Dawaki ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state
ii. Doka ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state
iii. Agyaragin – Tofa ward
iiii. 10, 000 illegal votes added to already announced results in Wurno LGA in Sokoto state
v. Additionally, violent and destructive attacks have been meted out to officials while counting at Lafia St. and police barracks polling units.

8. As if these provocations are not enough, our agents and officials are constantly arrested and in many cases locked-up for complaining that Card Readers were not in use in many Northern states, implying that all results from the Northern part of the country where Card Readers were not used should be voided in accordance with INEC guidelines.

9. I also believe, the arrest of Eng. Buba Galadima, who has been a great symbol of what is courageous about our people goes to show that one man’s ambition is greater than our collective good, and most probably worth the blood of all Nigerians.

10. In that context, I call for Buba Galadima’s immediate and unconditional release, as well as that of all officials and agents of the PDP, in the Southwest, who were mostly arrested on the eve of the elections where intimidation became the APCs sole election strategy.

11. Despite these provocations, intimidation and attempts to hijack our democracy and change the course of history, I must, in fact, convey to our good people the fact that the PDP is on course to victory and the Presidency; therefore, remain resolute and steadfast, because our party shares in your uncertainty and suffering, which must decisively come to a good end for us all.

12. Finally, and once again, we appeal to the leadership of INEC to remain impartial and not become willing agents to disenfranchise our people and derail our democracy, because the world is watching, and history will indeed pass judgment.

In addition, to the international community; we welcome your support for our democracy and extend our gratitude with great hope for our democracy.

Prince Uche Secondus
Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
