#NigeriaDecides2019
2. At yesterday’s briefing, we reported that we achieved 95% configuration of the Smart Card Readers (SCR) nationwide. The Card Readers were introduced in the 2015 general elections to facilitate the accreditation of voters using the PVCs.
#NigeriaDecides2019
3. They are configured to specific polling units and only open for use at 8am on Election Day. They automatically shut down by 10 pm in order to forestall any illegal use before the appointed time of elections.
#NigeriaDecides2019
4. I am pleased to report that we have now achieved 100% completion of the configuration. We are good to go on this score.
#NigeriaDecides2019
5. I briefed you yesterday that our State offices had commenced the process of inviting stakeholders to the CBN to examine the retrieved materials deployed last week & to witness the batching of materials according to Local LGAs. Reports from the States indicate full compliance.
6. Similarly, I briefed you yesterday that having moved the sensitive materials to the 36 States and the FCT, the forward deployment to the 774 LGAs nationwide will commence today Wednesday 20thFebruary 2019 & be concluded tomorrow 21st February 2019.
#NigeriaDecides2019
7. Already, Adamawa, Anambra, Benue, Ekiti, Jigawa, Katsina, Osun, Ogun, Oyo & Taraba States have commenced the movement of materials to LGAs today. Other States will do so & conclude tomorrow. We will give a full rendition of movement to LGAs across all States tomorrow.

Breaking News:
1. INEC's attention has been drawn to stories that ballot papers have found their way to the hands of politicians who are thumb printing same for their favoured party. Specifically, reference has been made to Kogi Central Senatorial District.
#NigeriaDecides2019
2. This allegation is not true, as all sensitive materials are in the Commission's custody or in the Central Bank's vaults. The stamps in the ballot papers displayed do not represent any of the official stamps to be used in the forthcoming election.
#NigeriaDecides2019
3. It should be noted that only duly stamped and dated ballot papers with the endorsement of the INEC Presiding Officer's signature are valid and will be counted.

About thirteen hours ago, I conveyed to Nigerians the decision of INEC to reschedule the 2019 General Elections by one week. Presidential and National Assembly earlier scheduled for 16th February 2019 will now hold on Saturday 23rd February 2019 while Governorship, State Assembly
and FCT Area Council Elections scheduled for 2nd March 2019 will now hold on Saturday 9th March 2019. The one-week adjustment was a painful one for INEC but necessary in the overall interest of our democracy.
Nigerians will recall that when this Commission was appointed in November 2015, we promised Nigerians two cardinal things. First, we shall work hard to consolidate the improvements made in the management of elections in Nigeria since 2011.
Secondly. we shall always be open...

INEC Osun Template Busted by the US

Nigerians should be grateful to the US for saving our democracy today. This is why APC got frustrated about the US, UK & EU interference at one point and threatened “body bags” becos they know, “America would know”

We are a sovereign state, agreed, but there was nothing Nigerians would have done tonight to prevent Mohammadu Buhari from rigging this election if not for the intervention of the United States of America. They deserve some accolades. #NigeriaDecides
The Buhari government in collaboration with INEC had an agenda on how to rig the election in favor of Buhari. This was what they were planning to execute tonight with the postponement drama when the United States govt got a wind of it and called the INEC Chairman not to dare!

Atiku’s Fiercest Foe Isn’t Buhari; It’s the INEC Chairman--THREAD

The auguries already favor a decisive win Atiku win in the forthcoming February 16 election, and the biggest electoral shock may actually come from the northwest, hitherto Buhari’s impregnable electoral fortress.
The silent majority of voters in the region will ventilate their pent-up anger and frustration against Buhari in ways that will signal a tectonic disruption of the habitual voting patterns of the region. At this point, Buhari isn’t a threat to Atiku. INEC Chairman Professor
Mahmood Yakubu is actually Atiku’s most potent threat now. Here is why. A brother of the INEC chairman’s close friend confided in me today that the electoral boss has a deep-seated animus toward Atiku and has made many nasty, unkind remarks about Atiku in private. That, in and of

Time: 3.45 pm
Location:INEC State Collation Centre Asaba,Delta state
There was apprehension in the hall. Field reports that were trickling in showed that the DPP candidate, Great Ogboru was giving the PDP’s candidate,Dr Uduaghan a run for his money.
I shot a glance at the PDP’s Chief Returning Officer, Patrick Okowa, and saw anguish all over his mien. Then the NTA’s live broadcast of the INEC National Situation Room came up. The Chairman, Prof. Morris Iwu was about to announce some results.
For us at the Centre in Asaba, we were non-committal about the appearance for we knew that elections were still taking place in a few areas in Delta and that just a few results that were yet to be sorted had been brought to the collation centre. But nonetheless, we watched .

The pictures are those of the @inecnigeria Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu who is on a 10 day trip to some West African countries in his capacity as the ECONEC Chairman. Before he departed, his lawyers communicated to the Court that he was traveling for official assignments.
This official duties had already been fixed before the court adjournment. But what really is the issue that prompted a bench warrant for his arrest? Now, I have to be very careful here seeing as some of our judges have learnt to “cover yam and see it ripen”.
But this matter exposes the high corruption that some in the judiciary have been enmeshed in; ridiculing that noble arm of govt.The matter is about a tussle in the Anambra PDP over who is the actual Chairman of the party,a matter that the Supreme Court in its wisdom had ruled.
