APC PLANNING TO THUMB-PRINT BALLOT PAPERS AHEAD OF BENUE RE-RUN

Our reliable sources at INEC have disclosed that the All Progressives Congress, (APC) leadership has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately release to it ballot papers and result sheets for all the polling units where the re-run governorship election is to hold in Benue State. 

This is to help the party to thumb-print the ballot papers and fill the result sheets before the 23rd March supplementary election. 

APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole secretly arrived Makurdi on Sunday night and was still in town Tuesday morning to supervise the evil plot. Bola Tinubu is expected in Makurdi tomorrow to add to the pressure already mounted on the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Benue State to release the sensitive election materials to APC. 

APC has recruited many Fulani militia members who will be given military uniform to wear and go to polling units where they will arrest PDP agents and leaders of the party who will want to prove stubborn on the day of the election. 

As youths of the state, we find this plot by APC as devilish and anti-people and we will resist it with the last drop of our blood. 

Benue people took a decision on the 9th of March to renew the mandate they gave Governor Samuel Ortom in 2015. The people overwhelmingly voted for the Governor who now has 81,000 lead against his closest opponent. 

We advise INEC to be firm and resist the pressure to deny Benue people their right to decide who governs them. INEC must say NO to APC's maneuvers to truncate democracy through rigging of the supplementary election in Benue State. 

We are aware that all uncollected Permanent Voter's Cards, PVCs were returned and kept at Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN in Makurdi. We also have the statistics of the number of PVCs collected in all the polling units where the re-run election is billed to hold.

Our eagle eyes are firmly fixed on CBN and INEC. Any attempt to illegally release the uncollected PVCs or any other sensitive election material will be exposed and the particular culprit, whether he is INEC or CBN staff will be made to suffer lawful consequences of his action. 

We want the Benue State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda to remember that the whole world is watching him! He should remember that history will also note the role he is playing in Benue State electoral process and will judge him accordingly. He has the option to do what is right and write his name in gold or obey those who want to pervert the process and rig the election despite the wide margin between the party in the lead and the closest opponent. 

Lastly, we caution Oshiomhole, Tinubu, Akume and all other enemies of Benue State to shelve their plan to rig the re-run election. It is a waste of engery and time! 

APC has lost Benue!

Signed:

Comrade Terrence Kuanum

DSS Arrest CJN Walter Onnoghen

Report reaching us at the moment is that a combine team of The Economic Financial and Crimes Commission, EFCC personnel and the personnel of the Department of State Security Service DSS, on Tuesday invaded the residence of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen in Abuja in a bid to arrest him and whisk him away to an unknown location.

It was gathered that the DSS got its order from above to arrest the current Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, inject him and make him incapacitated.

This is coming on the heels of the inhumane treatment currently meted out to a serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Dino Melaye, a senator representing Kogi West senatorial district in the hand of personnels of the Department of State Security DSS.

In a similar development, According to Femi Fani Kayode through his twitter handle posted, “These people want Nigeria to burn! Buhari call off your dogs before it is too late!

“This is a democracy and not a gestapo state! In the name of God let this madness stop.”

Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday reportedly issued an order to Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen to immediately vacate his office.

The CJN’s trail at the Danladi Umar-led Code of Conduct Tribunal was expected to commence on 14^th Monday in Abuja on charges of failures to declare his assets as required by law and for operating Bank Domiciliary Foreign Currency Accounts but the senior judge refused to appear in court but was absent in court.

Various legal luminaries have reacted to this attempted arrest by the EFCC and the DSS.

He went further to emphasis that this gesture is not politically motivated holding that even after the election, the organization will continually support widows and the less privilege in the society, as he was raised and breed by a widow. He held that “all women here are my mothers and sisters while the orphans are my brothers and sisters”.

“It is high time every well many Nigerians supports the widows while still doing their best to give maximum support to the presidential candidacy of Atiku Abubakar who we believe can govern this country better and bring succor to every Nigerian, especially our widows, orphans and other less privilege” he stated.

While responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Laraba Dalo thanked the Foundation/NGO for such kind gesture shown to the widows by saying, “ We, the widows are happy with this because it puts smiles on our faces and it is our prayers that the Founder and other staffs of the Foundation/NGO continue to prosper in Jesus name”.

In his remark, the monarch commended the Foundation/NGO for the initiative in alleviating the suffering of the people of his Area Council.

Yero said that the NGO’s gesture was first of its kind and expressed the readiness of the palace to partner with any group or individual that was ready to bring succor to his people. He therefore called on other wealthy Nigerians to emulate such gesture by helping the needy especially the poor widows.

His Highness held that “whatever affects the widows also affects us and that is why we see your gesture as a great idea worthy of emulation by other groups in the society”.
