WHY ONGOING COLLATION OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
RESULTS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND A POSSIBLE INVITATION TO ANARCHY THAT MUST BE AVERTED NOW BY IMMEDIATE HALT.
AS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER, FOREMOST ADVOCATE FOR CREDIBLE ELECTION, SPOKESPERSON OF THE OPPOSITION COALITION, AND ELECTED MEMBER OF THE NIGERIAN PARLIAMENT, I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION TO ADVISE THAT IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST THAT THE ONGOING COLLATION OF RESULTS BE HALTED IN VIEW OF THE COMPROMISE OF THE COLLATION PROCESS AND VIOLATION OF THE PROVISION OF THE ELECTORAL ACT.
SECTION 64 (4) OF THE ELECTORAL ACT
..A RETURNING OFFICER AT AN ELECTION CAN ONLY COLLATE AND ANNOUNCE THE RESULT OF AN ELECTION SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION THAT THE ACCREDITATION NUMBER AND VOTES STATED ON THE COLLATED RESULT ARE CORRECT AND CONSISTENT WITH VOTES OR RESULTS RECORDED AND TRANSMITTED DIRECTLY FROM THE POLLING UNITS
CLEARLY, THE RESULTS BEING COLLATED WERE NOT TRANSMITTED DIRECTLY FROM THE POLLING UNITS, BUT COOKED FIGURES BY A GROUP OF ROUGE GOVERNORS WHO WERE THE SAME ELEMENTS BEHIND THE OMUMA MAGIC COMPROMISE OF THE VOTERS REGISTER AND SHOULD BE STOPPED BEFORE THIS ILLEGALITY THROWS NIGERIA INTO NATIONAL CONFUSION.
STOP THIS NOW BEFORE IT’S LATE.
