He said a situation where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) adopted different measures for the conduct of election for different parts of the country is not acceptable.
Obi was referring to the alleged use of manual accreditation in most northern states during the conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
He observed that card readers were used in conducting elections, especially in PDP strongholds even when they (card readers) did not work, while accreditation was done manually in its opponent’s areas and the results were accepted.
“I noticed on the day of the election that several card readers were not working. I also noticed that during the voting the process was clumsy because card readers were not functioning and where they worked they were slow.
“They did not work in highly concentrated areas. This is why in Anambra of the over 2.4 million registered voters only 600,000 voted.
“Yet in some parts of this country people voted without card readers, yet all votes counted.”
Obi also said that votes were inflated in some states where the All Progressives Congress won and wondered how many states in the North with low population density returned votes more than what they registered.
He lamented that ordinarily Nigeria should be building on the success achieved 2015 general elections but this has not been the case, as last Saturday’s election was nothing short of a sham.
Obi said what was witnessed in the 2019 general election is not different from the demand of many Nigerians for a level playing ground.
Obi again reiterated the level of intimidation witnessed by members of his party during the run-up to the election, adding that the burning of the card readers in Anambra INEC was part of it.

*I am still surprised at the fact that it stared us in the face and so many are still saying the election was free and fair.
I heard Yobe result didn't tally. The rejected votes and votes cast was above the accreditated voters. Elections hasn't been free and fair in Nigeria, even when PDP was in power. So this isn't an exemption. Everyone should just move on over this, nothing the tribunal can do over this whole fraud. Now you should know why the ex CJN was hurriedly removed in an election month, for the new CJN has a duty to perform.
ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian stock market just crashed this morning ;The market capitalisation of listed equities on the exchange shed N85 billion in six hours of trading to what traders attributed to profit taking as a result of the presidential poll. I remember the post by one educated idiot claiming that his has PhD in statistics!!!, like seriously ??????? You people that rigged for buhari have NOT seen anything yet thus is just the beginning!!!!!!!!! The hunger , poverty , massive job loss, unemployment and killings that will happen in the NEXT 4 years will be better imagined !!!!!
DeleteStella, pls NO more give always for the next 4 years !!! People living here in Nigeria don't pity themselves , you are one in 200 million , God understand that you have a golden heart , but if the people can't recognise good and bad leadership , then , they will have to learn through the hard way !!!!!
DeleteThe Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the presidential and National Assembly elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
DeleteThe party agent at the collation centre, Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi, who is also the chairman of the party in the state, expressed disappointment about the way figures were inflated in the results.
He said: “We cannot accept such inflated figures. That is our stand. So, we will go back and analyse the issue to know the next line of action to take.
“As you can see, the presiding officers complained of lack of or use of card readers during the voting in the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state, coupled with over-voting.”
No more give away?? So Atiku is the expected messiah!!! I have not seen people this stupid in my whole life..
DeleteAbiooo what a comment: Atiku is now the messiah, i hope you don't pupu again because Atiku lost
DeleteTeejay Yobe wasn't the only state with results that didn't tally at the national level but the foolish Inec opened his mouth to say that the incidences are not up to 2% of the total figures. The states he said some places will do re-election did he do that, instead he went ahead to announce results
DeletePls I would like to meet this pastor that did deliverance for PDP. ..All of a sudden pep has become born again overnight,they did everything accordingly,no malpractice,no rigging etc. . Una well done oo. Me I am on my way to Balogun mkt,anyone interested in Atiku viole should let me know how many yards so you can do all ur #Atikulated in ur house. Nonsense
DeleteAnonymous 8:34 please speak for yourself and your family.. This next 4 years and beyond will be the most prosperous.. Wealthiest and most fruitful in my life and my family
DeleteThis election was far from free and fair.
ReplyDeleteBut we move!
Congrats to Buhari and his buharists.
Apc owns inec and the supreme court. Justice cannot be served!
ReplyDeletePDP, just move on and let them be. Fighting this is fighting a lost battle in my opinion.
I said it here that @Atiku should watch out for North East and North West. Borno result is a clear indication that APC was declared winner of the election before 23rd of February,2019. With all the bomb blast and the likes, Yakubu in his clear eyes accepted such results. How can INEC accept Lagos result after the video of ballot box burning went viral? Reno said EVEN SATAN CANNOT RIG LIKE THIS. APC needed that one week to perfect their plans, that was why Yakubu postponed election by 3am on election day. Abeg let me peep from my neighbor's window to see if they are watching cartoon , who Nigeria help? @Libya Returnee please can I have your contact? I want to travel to Libya asap. I have lost hope in Nigeria. @Blessed Princess
ReplyDeleteMy Sister, we die here ni oí ½í¸…í ½í¸…í ½í¸…í ½í¸…
DeleteLol... This woman leave me hand ooh. It's too early to start laughing.
DeleteLolzzz @ travel to Libya

DeleteBuhari won in 2015 and there was jubilation worldwide. I'm yet to see that in 2019. Everyone is just quietly moving on
ReplyDeletePlease someone should confirm for me if the APC man contesting for Senate in Niger who is also the INEC contractor that produced the PVC won. The Activate company director. I am asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteYes the fraud won ; Mohammed Sani Musa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared winner of the Niger East senatorial district election held on Saturday, February 23.
DeleteI know he couldn't have lost out. Nigeria is such a funny entity.
DeleteVoted without card readers and it was still Counted, Where's the Way Forward Nigeria...See them Doing Suffering And Smilling, This Country is bloody and Corrupt kaiii..

DeleteHahahahahajajajaaj Linda you Don kolo
DeleteStellz is it not naija?? They will soon bring BBNaija 2019.. All out worries, fiaaamm gone..😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteI tell you. I can never make noise over any election at all.
DeleteIt was never free and fair
ReplyDeleteAs long as the card reader is on use for the elections in Nigeria, the North will always win. They just ignore the reader and thumbprint as many ballots as they need. Meanwhile, the southerners queue up and waste time waiting to be accredited by the reader, hence, the low number of ballots.
ReplyDeleteSo true this share wickedness from the government, buhari sat down and gave orders to his cabal in the north to rig election for him, so so sad is this democracy, heavy jokers Nigerians, atiku should reject this election.But they the northerners know our temperament that we can't fight for our rights we are so weak,and they will continue to take this advantage, the rigging was just tooo much,the never in the history of Nigeria, see buhari is so desperate for power as see him like that, the nepotist, he has similar treats like hitler, slow but deadly, we are not fools one Nigeria my ass
DeletePDP/APC they are both the same. Had PDP been in power, they will also rig the election. The only way election can be free and fair is to vote with our national identity card online anywhere you are in the country (the government knows this but they won't adopt it simply because of electoral malpractice).
ReplyDeleteThe government of the day will print millions of ghost national ID cards and vote for themselves online. How do you then prove fraud?
DeleteGod help Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteObi nwannaa, I believe u will still become the president of Nigeria one way or the other.
Stella don't disturb yourself, this is Nigeria.. and some people said history won't remember Johnathan.. that man could be everything bad, but at least he was a pure democrat. Democracy is dead in Nigeria, watch as they will come and chant integrity!!! Mr integrity that knows nothing about democracy, how ironic..lol
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is dead and buried my dear, it is very sad !!!!
DeleteBoth parties are complaining, both parties rigged the election , just that the rigger was out rigged by the master rigger.
ReplyDeleteYour head is there😚
DeleteTrue talk my sister/brother. The master rigger won.
DeleteAnother four year round of complaints has started. What's the next thing on the Nigerian program after election please?Nigeria is a joke now more than ever.
Delete👏👏👏clapping and standing ovation for this comment. .You have summarised it.. Period. 2003,2007,2011 was when PDP rigged like mad.. APC sef try cosdem still learn work. PDP rigged in as much as 22-25m votes for themselves alone during election.. At least APC's rigging has been consistent with being at 15million
DeleteIt's just a matter of few weeks! Soon we will forget about it: after all,we've been living and surviving.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere is so quiet.
ReplyDeleteNo jubilation
Everyone moving about to their different ways as if nothing happened on Saturday..
Moving on
God help us
The bitter truth is that there is nothing independent about inec! Nigeria is in trouble... this election further proved how wicked Nigerians are.. like seriously, who were the individuals that voted for buhari? The next four years... i pity us. Those northerners, nobody should ask me to pray for them when it eventually starts raining bullets there! All mallam with him kaya oo! As for those who sold their conscience to the devil over 1k? I laugh in swahili!
ReplyDeleteHave pity on yourself! You and your fellow igbos think Atiku is the messiah - I feel so sorry for all of you!
DeleteUna go cry tire😜
ReplyDeleteWhen you all were wasting energy insulting the Northerners instead of wooing voters, did you expect them to ignore that and vote someone that will be beneficial your region? Keep calling them deregatory names and watch them govern you till eternity.
Una mumu don do. Hate gets you no where.....
That is the problem of the igbos - you insult the yorubas and hausa-fulanis, and expect to be supported? You will never rule the entity called Nigeria if you continue to exhibit such hatred for other tribes.
DeleteGod bless you Kikki. They preach hate instead of love. They call northerners and westerners derogatory names and expect that they will vote your candidate. It doesn't work that way. If the easterners continue their arrogance then the west and north will never be allies with them. And guess who will continue to wail? Drop the arrogance. Stop the derogatory remarks. Preach love not hate. Preach unity not disunity. You definitely cannot do this alone. Be wise.
DeleteAfter the civil war the Hausa's and some misguided Yoruba's thought it was finished for the Igbos , but guess what , you can't them !!!! Today they are in your faces buying your lands and building mansions, *** your hate for the IGBO will send to your early grave*** you better stop being jealous and work for for your money useless Yoruba idiot, hater of good things, mind am Not Igbo !!!!!
DeleteMOVE ON. Get your illegal or is it legal team together and follow due process. PDP won in Ondo, Edo and Oyo, no one is screaming rigging. Protest against what obviously caused your loss which is the hard handed blockage of planned ballot box snatching and political thuggery. Your legal team may be able to find an illegal angle using that.
ReplyDeleteThe igbos are survivers , think of yourself .
ReplyDeleteMay God help us.
