The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday alerted Nigerians that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was replacing all the computer servers at its headquarters and offices in all states of the federation and Abuja, in a desperate bid to obliterate the actual Presidential election results transmitted from the polling centers across the nation.
The opposition party said the action was “completely reprehensible and further exposes the culpability of INEC in the manipulation and rigging of the 2019 Presidential election.”
A statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, which was made available to TheNiche read in part: “The PDP has been well briefed on how the INEC leadership and officials
of the Buhari Presidency became jittery and resorted to the desperate
measure, after they realized that the servers have information of Atiku
Abubakar’s victory at the election.
“Our party also has details of how the INEC leadership and the Presidency
agents procured and detailed computer experts to the commission’s
offices to switch the servers, mutilate vital information in the system
and attempt to erase all trails of transmitted results to the main
server.
“Moreover, our party has been informed about how the INEC leadership,
several weeks after the election, used some compromised officials of the
commission to manipulate voter registers in some states by ticking names
of individuals who did not participate in the Presidential election, as
having voted. This is with the view to using such to cover the
fictitious results it wrote for the APC.
“What INEC and the Buhari Presidency do not understand is that computer
software and applications leave traces, signatures as well as footmark.
Forensic investigation of the system will reveal the real votes
transmitted from the polling centers, which show Atiku Abubakar as the
winner of the election.
“The PDP therefore insists on forensic examination of all relevant
documents and equipment used for the Presidential election.
Our party will continue to be at alert as we stand with Nigerians to
reclaim our stolen mandate at the tribunal and no amount of
manipulations by INEC will detract from this national resolve.”
