In Imo State (Ikeduru/Mbaitoli Federal Constituency), we found 24 polling-unit result sheets photographed between 5:04 and 5:34 a.m. on election day, according to the camera data embedded in the images INEC published on IReV.
Voting was scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m.
Before a single vote was cast, the result sheets had been written and photographed.
The published sheets show no presiding officer's name, signature, stamp, or agent names or signatures.
Every photo carries the same profile: iPhone 13, iOS 16.4.1, with the same-looking wooden floor across six wards.
These 24 sheets hold 8,081 valid votes. The final margin between the winner and the runner-up was 3,076.
Full analysis and all 24 sheets are on our website.
Campaign never start, eye don already dey turn Kwankwaso. 😂
Give it two more weeks, Kwankwaso go commot that agbada, begin wear t-shirts. Peter Obi go too rough that guy with work and schedule. 😅
Tinubu deployed Solodo to the the fake audit committee and Umahi to the Igbo division team
Everyone knows both of them plus Amoda go tear ACL in January
Our model of campaign is different.
While political campaigns often focus on purely politics, our focus is on development, human capital, education, agriculture, healthcare, jobs, security and building a productive economy.
We are working towards a Nigeria where every citizen can proudly say, “I am Nigerian.”
A Nigeria that works.
A Nigeria that produces.
A Nigeria that creates opportunities.
A Nigeria that restores hope.
If we want a good tomorrow, we must educate our children today.
Nigeria MUST be OK.
Information reaching us is that it was the Borno state government that ordered for the arrest of the youths who wore “TINUBU MUST GO” shirt and cap in Borno state.
The Borno state government should know that Tinubu will start losing the election from Borno.
Tinubu must go!
I lend my voice in solidarity with the five brave men who were arrested in Borno for simply wearing a “Tinubu Must Go” t-shirt. We must never allow the ghost of Abacha to return. In their honor, I will post this new logo across all the social media platforms until January 16.
Hassan Has Dropped Another Piece Of Evidence. He Was Nearly Caught While Making This Video. The Most Frustrating Part Is That Despite The Numerous Videos And Pieces Of Evidence He Has Released, Nothing Appears To Have Been Done About It. Imagine Taking Such Risks To Expose The Truth, Yet The DSS And The Government Remain Silent. No Arrests. No Clear Public Response. Nothing. How Much More Evidence Is Needed Before Action Is Taken? What a Country. 🇳🇬💔
Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Fellow Nigerians,
Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.
It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.
Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.
In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:
Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?
These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.
Today we stand before the world as a nation:
With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M
With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M
Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives
Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.
With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.
Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M
Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%
Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years
And the list goes on.
This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?
The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.
Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.
In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.
BBC Calls Him a “Junta Leader” Because They Cannot Say The Truth:
Captain Ibrahim Traoré Stopped Allowing The West To Control Burkina Faso’s Mineral Wealth. He Opened Burkina Faso’s First Gold Refinery So The Gold Stays, The Jobs Stay, And The Profit Stays. For Decades The West Dug It, Shipped It, Refined It, And Left Burkina Faso With Dust. That Era Is Over.
He Expelled French Troops. He Cut The Colonial Leash. He Took The Mines Back. He Is Building The Value Chain At Home.
That Is Not a Junta. That Is a Country Standing Up. Call Him What He Is: The Man Who Ended The West’s Claim On Burkina Faso’s Gold. 🇧🇫🔥
As part of our engagements in Sokoto, I joined our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, at the Presidential Town Hall Meeting, Sokoto Series.
In my remarks, I urged our supporters to mobilise peacefully and in strict accordance with electoral laws, while emphasising the vital importance of grassroots participation.
The gathering brought together citizens, members of the NDC family, the Kwankwasiyya and Obidient Movements for an open conversation on the issues that matter most to Nigerians and the future of our country.
Nigeria will be OK. - RMK
