And INEC Chairman and Festus Okoye have repeatedly told Nigerians that there would be a transmission of results from polling units and directly to the server and we found out that this has not been done and when I raised this issue today supported by other party agents, the national chairman of INEC vehemently invaded that because what section 47 (3) emphasized is that where ever the card reader or BVAS fail and cannot get a replacement, elections should be cancelled in those places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dAnd we have seen from the presentation of the result from Ekiti yesterday that elections were cancelled as a result of bypassing BVAS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the only way to detect that BVAS has been bypassed is for us to see the uploaded results and we insisted that the Chairman should show us here and now the uploaded results state by state. That is the only way to check the authenticity and veracity of the results if not we\u2019re only here to endorse the fraud they\u2019ve already done from the unit to the ward to the states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not here to endorse and rubber stamp infractions anomalies that have been done. We are here to check them but the national chairman is denying us the opportunity to question what they have been doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is saying that all has been done, meaning that we\u2019re just here to rubberstamp and we\u2019re going to prove we\u2019re not here to rubberstamp. We\u2019re going to do everything humanly possible to make sure the right thing is done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to make a presentation by the time we resume and if they insist they are not going to respond to us you\u2019ll see the action we\u2019ll take. Having suffered pains in this country, having suffered hunger, killing, and kidnapping, we\u2019ll not allow a continuation of failure. We\u2019ll make sure the right thing is done and the national chairman is putting his integrity to the test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians are watching, the world is watching, even the dead are watching to see what INEC would do. Buy the battle to make sure that only authentic results are announced here today is a battle of retreat, no surrender .\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
