A Message of Gratitude to Nigerians For Your Support on this Necessary Journey – Atiku

Dearly beloved citizens of Nigeria, I write to personally thank you for your support for our shared common goal and the solidarity I enjoyed from all walks of life and every strata of society, right from July 21, 2018, when I informed you, the good people of Nigeria, that I would contest the 2019 Presidential election, to Wednesday, September 11, 2019, when the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal rendered its verdict. Nothing good comes easy, and hard as the task to rid Nigeria from the forces of fascism, and be an instrument for the full restoration of the rule of law and democracy in Nigeria is, your support makes the struggle worthwhile. I owe so much to this great land of Nigeria that took me from the streets of Jada, where I sold firewood, to the heights I have attained, ...

Opinion: The Courts Must Nullify President Buhari’s Election on Grounds of Perjury by Femi Aribisala.

In filing his INEC papers for the 2019 presidential election, President Buhari lied under oath. He committed outright perjury. There can be no doubt that we are living today in Nigeria in proverbially “interesting times.” We have just gone through the worst presidential election in the history of Nigeria, marred by massive fraud, vote inflation and deflation, ballot-snatching, riots and voter intimidation and suppression. Atiku Abubakar, one of the main contestants in the election, has painstakingly presented a water-tight case before the presidential elections petition tribunal; indicating that the declaration of President Buhari as the winner of the February 2019 presidential election was a great travesty of justice. The future of the country hangs on a precipice, while we await...

Opinion: Buhari is not Qualified to be President of Nigeria by Femi Aribisala

If a presidential candidate does not have a school-leaving certificate, he is ineligible to stand for election as president of Nigeria. Anywhere else, it would be an open and shut case that President Buhari is not qualified to be president of Nigeria. Nevertheless, he has been president for the past 4 years. The question that remains is this: will he continue to get away with violating the law? Or has he finally met his Waterloo? The case against Buhari being president is overwhelming. At its most fundamental, he does not fulfill the constitutional requirement that the president must be educated up to school certificate level or its equivalent. Section 138, subsequent 1A of the Electoral Act (as amended) says: “An election may be questioned on the grounds that a person whose ele...

Opinion: No One is Expecting the Supreme Court to Pronounce Atiku Winner But…

No one is ever expecting the Supreme Court to pronounce Atiku winner but the point I believe they want to score has been achieved. I have been in that court all thru and for the first time I see Wole Olanipekun closing his case prematurely. It is not for any reason beyond the fact that the key witness they produce rather than helping the matter threw spanner in the works. The old man that came to testify on certificate said the army never collected their papers, the WAEC/, Cambridge man said the certificate out president is holding is not from them. Abba Kyari was the funniest of the three when he said he brought picture of the graduating set of the president and under cross examination the question was asked " is there a different between picture and certificate"? He answered yes. The...

Nigeria: INEC Internal Memo Shows that Voter Accreditation was Uploaded to Server

An internal circular of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has indicated that the commission transmitted voter information from smart card readers to a central server during the 2019 presidential elections. The document, which was first posted on social media by Reno Omokri, an opposition PDP operative, on Wednesday afternoon, carried a directive from national secretary of INEC, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, to other senior officials of the commission on challenges recorded in transmitting voter accreditation data to a server. “The commissioner has observed, with deep concerns, the number of smart card readers (SCRs) that do not have data of accredited voters in the just concluded presidential/NASS elections nationwide,” Ms Oriaran-Anthony said in the March 25 letter to all...

Opinion: INEC Server – The Trap that Caught Baba, INEC and APC

This INEC hide & seek game has become nothing but comical... Stage 1: INEC discovered late that they didn't cover their dirty tracks very well and that Atiku has already gotten some reliable and damaging info from insiders and supporting evidence too. APC saw this and immediately petitioned the police alleging that Atiku had hacked their Server. But they couldn't substantiate anything or implicate Atiku. They knew that the entire manipulations have been found out by the opposition who are ready to hit them hard at the Tribunal. So they needed to act fast, and off to work they went. Stage 2: Emissaries, friends, some members of the National Peace Committee, some Northern elites and powers that are close to Atiku were sent to dissuade him from challenging the 2019 sham of electio...

Nigeria: Buharig: The Inauguration of an Illegitimate President by Farooq Kperogi

Today, Nigeria will inaugurate an illegitimate president who unashamedly stole someone else’s electoral mandate in broad daylight. Buhari (whom most people now call “Buharig” because of the unprecedentedly crude electoral heist he perpetrated in February) and the cabal of corrupt, clueless, and unconscionable provincials who rule on his behalf instructed their minions to rig the last presidential election because they knew Buhari had not a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the election. In spite of their rigging, however, Buhari still came up short. He lost to Atiku by nearly 2 million votes from their own rigged figures. So he ordered INEC to invent arbitrary figures and proclaim him winner. And degenerate, unprincipled, and morally compromised Mahmood Yakubu who has gone down in ...

Nigeria: Let Buhari Be Subjected to DNA Testing – Nnamdi Kanu to Atiku

The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who is on the search list of the Nigerian government, has decided to offer a legal advice to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Kanu who spoke on a live broadcast on Sunday, told Atiku to ask President Muhammadu Buhari, to go for a DNA test to prove his originality. DNA test is a deoxyribonucleic acid that contains the genetic code and information of every single individual on earth. His words, “I will offer free legal advice to Atiku live on air in the hope that they will use it because it is obvious Atiku won the election and APC are deploying all instruments of coercion at the disposal of the Nigerian state to deny him his mandate. “Between Atiku and the man o...

Nigeria: Atiku Rejects Result of the Presidential Elections

Atiku has roundly rejected the results announced by INEC that declared incumbent President Buhari the winner. In a statement to the nation he said: "Democracy Will Not Be Emasculated in Nigeria I thank the Nigerian people who trooped out in their millions to perform their civic duty this past Saturday. The patriotism of Nigerians is heartwarming and affirms my oft-repeated statement that we are brothers and sisters born from the womb of one mother Nigeria. With regards to the Presidential elections that took place on February 23, 2019, it is clear that there were manifest and premeditated malpractices in many states which negate the results announced. One obvious red flag is the statistical impossibility of states ravaged by the war on terror generating much higher voter turn...
