Coalition for Better and Brighter Nigeria(CBBN) has called for the cancellation of last Saturday Presidential election as it did not comply with 2022 Electoral Act as amended in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
El-Buba in an interview with newsmen at EBOMI Headquarters, said his group might be compelled to take their protest against the fraud that took place last Saturday to the INEC offices across the country to express their disappointment with poor conduct of the Polls by the National Electoral body (INEC) .
El-Buba noted that before the Saturday Polls was held, INEC Chairman Professor Mahmood Yakubu publicly assured the Nigeria public and the International community that INEC had made adquate preparation for free and fair general election across the country but regretted the outcome of the polls that was fraught with irregularities..
El-Buba noted the last Saturday Presidential Polls exercise has left millions of Nigerians disappointed and disillusioned because of the unprofessional conduct of state and non-state actors that participated in the process.
He added that the Electoral Act was amended in 2022 for the electronic transmission of results after they are declared at the polling units and that Nigerians participated in this process with the belief that the use of technology and adherence to the agreed electronic transmission of results to INEC servers at polling units would ensure free, fair, and transparent election,but regretted that the opposite happened.
He alleged that INEC servers were shut down as Presidential elections could not be uploaded onto the INEC server. The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) did not work as planned.
According to him, the failure has undoubtedly given room for manipulating the presidential results being announced by the INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu at the Collation Centre in Abuja.
“These manipulations were carried out under the watchful eyes and connivance of security Agents at several polling units and INEC offices”.
“The decision of INEC to go ahead to announce these doctored results based on manufactured voting has defeated the efforts made by Nigerians to see that the Electoral Act was amended to allow for electronic transmission of results.
Global President of Group Prophet Isah El-Buba at a Press conference At EBOMI Headquarters demanded for fresh conduct of Presidential Polls in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act as amended.
He added that is disheartening that 24 hours after the elections was held across the country, INEC is still yet to upload the authentic results of the Presidential poll on its server. The excuse that the server is down is not tenable.
