… Urges INEC Chair To Save Nigeria From Looming Danger

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written President Muhammadu Buhari urging him to prevail on INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu to cancel elections results that did not pass through the BVAS and Server in order to avert what the former president regarded as “looming danger.”

Obasanjo, in the letter he addressed to Buhari and made a broadcast of said, “INEC officials at operational level have been compromised to make what should have worked not to work and to review to manual transmission of results which is manipulated and the results doctored.”

According to the former President, “INEC Chairman may claim ignorance but he cannot fold his hands and do nothing when he knows that election process has been corrupted and most of the results that are brought outside BVAS and Server are not true reflection of the will of Nigerians who have made their individual choice.”

Obasanjo who warned that no one should set the country on fire because of personal greed, added: “At this stage we do not need wittingly or unwittingly to set this country on fire with greed, irresponsibility and unpatriotic act of those who allegedly gave money to INEC officials for perversion and those who collected the blood money.”

The former President who recommended cancellation of results that did not pass through Server and BVAS, urged INEC Chairman to also save the country from looming danger.

“Your Excellency, President Buhari Muhammadu, tension is building up and please let all elections that do not pass the credibility and transparency test be cancelled and be brought back with areas where elections were disrupted for next Saturday, March 4, 2023 and BVAS and Server officials be changed.

“To know which stations or polling units were manipulated, let a Committee of INEC staff and representatives of the major political parties with the Chairman of Nigerian Bar Association look into what must be done to have a hitch-free election next Saturday.

“I appealed to INEC Chairman, if his hands are clean, to save Nigeria from the looming danger.”
