Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nigeria election: The mystery of the altered results in disputed poll - BBC News

What is presented as BBC news was authored by ethnic petitioners named, CHIAGOZIE NWONWU, PETER NWAI AND KARINA IGONIKAN. There are other ethnic petitioners too, named OJELOWO ORISA, OJO PAGUN AND OGUN JAGUNMOLU who authored a report on the results of the presidential elections in the Southeast of Nigeria but was ignored by the BBC. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate is from the Southeast of Nigeria containing the States of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. According to their state by state reports on the Southeast presidential election, in Abia State - Peter Obi won 327,095 votes, Tinubu won 8,914 votes, Atiku won 22, 676 votes and Kwankwaso won 1,239 votes; in Anambra State - Obi won 584,621 votes, Tinubu won 5,111 votes, Atiku won 9,036 votes and Kwankwaso won 1,967 votes; in Ebonyi State - Obi won 259,738 votes, Tinubu won 42,402 votes, Atiku won 13,503 votes, and Kwankwaso won 1,661 votes; and in Enugu State - Obi won 428,640 votes, Tinubu won 4,772 votes, Atiku won 15,749 votes; while Kwankwaso won 1,808 votes. Without rigging it would have been impossible for Peter Obi to win 1,960,589 total votes in his ethnic origin of the Southeast where Tinubu won 127,605 votes only, followed by Atiku Abubakar who won 91, 195 votes. Therefore, the presidential election results in  Rivers State follow the same pattern as the rest of the country  except that of the entire Southeast States which was ethnically rigged in favour Peter Obi.

 Nigeria election: The mystery of the altered results in disputed poll - BBC News

This was my reply to him : 

I trust that your trust is in the Almighty and that you're not feeling downhearted. 

I'm inclined to believe the ill report about what happened  in Rivers because 

I remember what happened in Rivers during  the Nigerian Presidential  Elections 

6th of August, 1983: I was there - at Bakana. They had finished voting by 1400 hrs 

and started dancing in pre-victory celebrations. Early that morning they had dragged 

the local NPP representative who they say had had the gall to  be challenging Bakana's  

resident son of the soil, Hon. Levy Braide who was  minister of agriculture in the NPN government.

They had dragged the NPN man down the stairs of his two-storey building , given him the hiding of

his life and left him for dead, in an immobile heap, at the bottom of the  stairs. How dare he want to propagate the NPP on the island !? 

So the overwhelmingly Kalabari residents of Bakana danced all afternoon, till well past midnight, and they were already dancing, they said, in celebration of " N.P.N: magic"

I'm told that when it came to counting the votes cast, of course there were more votes cast than there were registered voters, 

so  they threw the excess ballot papers  into the river.

I should just like to add that's why Buhari & Idiagbon came marching in on New Year's Eve 1983, that greatly flawed elections plus that  for months, civil servants and some contractors hadn't been paid, because the national treasury was more or less running on empty
