Aisha Binani, as the winner of the election, is a case study to the shambolic nature of the 2023 elections in general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere in Adamawa, we are witnesses to a novel practice in election management where a Resident Electoral Commissioner announced the loser of an election as a winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not in doubt that INEC has approached the Adamawa State election with a preset agenda of declaring the APC at all cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is, therefore, on this note that we wish to call the attention of the world to the scheme being perpetrated by INEC to compromise the electoral wishes of the people of Adamawa State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also wish to inform the world that such behaviour by INEC has a natural consequence of unsettling the peace and security of the society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen how INEC conducted the February 25 and March 18 elections against the run of play and challenging cheated candidates to go to the court, knowing full well the agenda that they are up to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must be put on record that the people of Adamawa State will not allow themselves to cheated three times in a row. It must also be put on record that whatever the consequences of the scheme being scripted, both the INEC and those vested with state powers should be blamed for the consequences of such actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the APC candidate has a prepared acceptance speech is a pointer to the guarantee of a false victory which the INEC must have promised her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recall that this was the same Resident Electoral Commissioner who pressured the Returning Officer to manipulate the results of the contentious Fufore Local Government Area in the March 18 governorship election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of Adamawa shall not allow this injustice to pass without being challenged.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is our demand that the Adamawa REC and any other parties complicit in this treasonable act should be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the full extent of the law to serve as a deterrent to anti-democratic forces who may want to torpedo our democracy \u00a0and provoke violence in our country&#8221;.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has called the attention of Nigerians to the game plan of upturning the democratic wishes&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":104274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
