the Governor of Basseki who urged the people not to

00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:07,359
take laws into their hand or to start violence or

18
00:01:07,439 –> 00:01:11,560
destruction of properties as a result of the provocation self

19
00:01:11,599 –> 00:01:15,519
peace and justice will always win saying he knows that

20
00:01:15,599 –> 00:01:19,519

21
00:01:19,640 –> 00:01:22,519
in the spirit following the outcome of the Guba Pole.

22
00:01:23,280 –> 00:01:27,400
According to Obaseki, there were rts of impunity and reckless

23
00:01:27,400 –> 00:01:30,920
disregard to the rule of law and processes during the election.

24
00:01:31,840 –> 00:01:36,280
On his counterpart, member of the People’s Democratic Party PDP

25
00:01:36,480 –> 00:01:40,400
and Governor of Adamawa State, Ammander Omaro Finterre, who was

26
00:01:40,439 –> 00:01:43,519
the PDP chairman for the election, in a new statement

27
00:01:43,560 –> 00:01:47,400
posted on his social media account, said he wept for

28
00:01:47,480 –> 00:01:51,159
nigeria democracy after he witnessed what he described as shamful

29
00:01:51,200 –> 00:01:55,319
a door gubernatorial election where APC governors used armond escort

30
00:01:55,480 –> 00:02:00,159
to intimidate voters. Iowaent for Nigeria’s democracy after we this

31
00:02:00,359 –> 00:02:04,760
is the shemfol A door gubernatorial poll. The APC’s desperate

32
00:02:04,920 –> 00:02:08,919
attempts to discredit me by falsely claiming I announced results

33
00:02:08,919 –> 00:02:13,719
won’t distract from the real issue. Imnalicial results from inex

34
00:02:13,840 –> 00:02:17,560
irrev portal as collected by INK from the various local

35
00:02:17,639 –> 00:02:23,240
government areas. What’s truly shellfull is APC’s national chairman flying

36
00:02:23,319 –> 00:02:26,000
into a dome with a private judge on election date

37
00:02:26,479 –> 00:02:30,919
the fire movement restrictions while their governors used armored escorts

38
00:02:30,919 –> 00:02:36,159
to intimidate voters. This blendans disregard for democratic norms is

39
00:02:36,159 –> 00:02:40,759
the real brigandage. Nigerians are outraged slaling i NEX for

40
00:02:40,840 –> 00:02:46,520
compromising and favoring APC, the important vote buying, destruction of

41
00:02:46,599 –> 00:02:51,520
collation processes and suspicious results with more votes than accredited

42
00:02:51,599 –> 00:02:56,080
voters on the mind trust in our democracy. Democracy indeed

43
00:02:56,199 –> 00:03:00,120
is under attack. We must condeen this rep of democracy

44
00:03:00,159 –> 00:03:05,639
and demand accountability. The world is watching and Nigeria deserves better.

45
00:03:06,039 –> 00:03:10,599
Governor Filtery stated, we had reported that the last Saturday,

46
00:03:10,639 –> 00:03:13,719
e Tho State gubernatorial election appeared to be a very

47
00:03:13,759 –> 00:03:17,439
big interest for the incumbent governor of the state, Godwill

00:03:17,479 –> 00:03:20,240
of Maasseki and the former governors of Elo and rival

states who are currently the incumbent Senator representing Elo North

50

and FCAT Minister Adams Oshomole and yasum Wike respectively. In

51
00:03:29,360 –> 00:03:32,560

53
00:03:35,719 –> 00:03:39,759

platform of his then political party APC in twenty twenty.

57
00:03:53,240 –> 00:03:57,439
Adams osceomoley had in several occasions also described Governor of

58
00:03:57,520 –> 00:04:01,319
Basseki as a betrayal, saying here greater choosing him as

59
00:04:01,360 –> 00:04:06,080
successful in twenty sixteen. President Bolla Admed Tenable had in

61
00:04:09,120 –> 00:04:12,360

term to wrote the people bought many people in the state.

63
00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:20,040
Then peat offense on President Balla amed table statements, who

64
00:04:20,160 –> 00:04:24,519
was only then APC national chieftain. The twenty twenty three

65
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:28,879
presidential election that got President Balla Admed Tenable into power

66
00:04:28,959 –> 00:04:32,560
as Nigeria President has been an issue of concern to many.

67
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:36,920
Scores of people believed that the twenty twenty three election

68
00:04:37,199 –> 00:04:42,639
was filled with irregularities, violence, the enfranchisement of eligible voters,

69
00:04:43,120 –> 00:04:47,399
manipulation of election results, among other insinuations or allegations bought.

70
00:04:47,399 –> 00:04:50,240
The Nigeria Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the political

71
00:04:50,279 –> 00:04:53,759
parties and candidates who contested the twenty twenty three presidential

72
00:04:53,800 –> 00:04:56,360
election outcome in court were not able to prove their

73
00:04:56,399 –> 00:05:01,000
case of widespread margins of the regularities, manipulation of election results,

74
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:05,040
violence the sen franchisement, even though the EPETS called noted

75
00:05:05,040 –> 00:05:07,839
that there were isolated cases of the allegations which were

76
00:05:07,879 –> 00:05:11,360
not enough to rule otherwise against Vorda. Ameningbuhu was declared

77
00:05:11,399 –> 00:05:16,240

78

80
00:05:22,279 –> 00:05:25,360
to be the promoters of peace are already causing violence.

81

Are held the gubernatorial election by those intimidating, harassing and

82
00:05:29,560 –> 00:05:33,879
arresting members of his political party PDP to waken the

83
00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:37,199
chances of PDP winning the areas where they arrested, and

84

the tend party chieftains help from saying the authorities at

85
00:05:41,120 –> 00:05:44,199
the federal government are doing so for APC to win

86
00:05:44,240 –> 00:05:48,439
the governorship by all means, the tension in the statesman,

gods or deities in Bending Kingdom to about any art

90
00:06:01,240 –> 00:06:04,959
of calamity before, during, and after the governorship election.

91
00:06:06,959 –> 00:06:10,879
Speaker 2: My dear good people of Ado State. In the last

92
00:06:10,879 –> 00:06:15,160
few months, the various political parties have impact on very

93
00:06:15,240 –> 00:06:19,519
rigorous campaigns to sell their respective candidates for the office

94
00:06:19,519 –> 00:06:23,000
of governor to the people of Ado State, in an

95
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:28,680
exercise which came to a climax yesterday. The attractive thing

96
00:06:28,759 –> 00:06:33,680
about democracy is the power it bestows on the people

97
00:06:33,920 –> 00:06:39,199
to choose who governs them. Therefore, when this power is

98
00:06:39,360 –> 00:06:43,319
blatantly seized from the people, it is not just a

99
00:06:43,399 –> 00:06:49,120
tragedy but a travesty of democracy. Regrettably, the outcome of

100
00:06:49,160 –> 00:06:53,639
the September twenty first governorship election appears to have tunted

101
00:06:53,680 –> 00:06:57,360
the spirit of many adult people who feel powerless in

102
00:06:57,439 –> 00:07:01,720
the face of the brute force of the institutions that

103
00:07:01,839 –> 00:07:06,879
are supposed to protect them. It is therefore understandable that

104
00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:12,199
many people feel sad and aggrieved. But in the midst

105
00:07:12,279 –> 00:07:15,519
of this despair, I am urging all my fellow Aido

106
00:07:15,680 –> 00:07:20,399
citizens to maintain calm and not resort to violence and

107
00:07:20,439 –> 00:07:25,680
the destruction of property. In spite of this provocation, peace

108
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:30,079
and justice will always win at the end and This

109
00:07:30,439 –> 00:07:33,120
is my prescription to all the good people of a

110
00:07:33,199 –> 00:07:37,839
dool states who feel vexed and voilated and distate. Clearly,

111
00:07:38,399 –> 00:07:42,759
it is obvious to deleast discerning the amount of impunity

112
00:07:42,839 –> 00:07:47,319
and reckless disregard for processes and law that was displayed

113
00:07:47,439 –> 00:07:51,839
in this ubernatarial direction. In a democracy there are always

114
00:07:51,920 –> 00:07:56,920
safeguards for addressing ingrievances, and we hope that all those

115
00:07:57,000 –> 00:08:02,399
affected will seek resolution for this disregard of law and process.

116
00:08:02,800 –> 00:08:06,560
With this in mind, I implore all other people to

117
00:08:06,839 –> 00:08:10,560
go about their lawful businesses and rest ashot of the

118
00:08:10,600 –> 00:08:14,360
commitment of our government to your well being and security.

119
00:08:15,079 –> 00:08:18,120
God blessed the people of those states. God bless the

120
00:08:18,120 –> 00:08:19,199
Federal Republic of.

121
00:08:19,160 –> 00:08:25,319
Speaker 3: Nigeria pleas to condone of access, thereby restricting movement in

122
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:29,360
the area. It took the protests of Governor Orbassk to

123
00:08:29,480 –> 00:08:32,360
make an entry into the State i net Office and

124
00:08:32,440 –> 00:08:35,919
registered the displeasure of the PDP with the irregularities of

125
00:08:35,960 –> 00:08:40,559
the collation process at the point of the truncation of

126
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:45,279

with the Electoral Act and the in Neck rules cribulation

150
00:10:46,120 –> 00:10:50,879
for this election. Any other illegal and unlawful actions going

151
00:10:51,080 –> 00:10:53,279
forward would be a violation of the will of the

152
00:10:53,320 –> 00:10:56,639
people and abuse of the Electoral Act. Twenty twenty two.

153
00:10:56,919 –> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: Went to i Neck to seek to meet with the

154
00:11:01,559 –> 00:11:09,480
wreck to try and understand what steps the next was

155
00:11:09,919 –> 00:11:13,759
taking to continue the process of collation. When I got

156
00:11:13,799 –> 00:11:16,759
in there overout two a M. I did not see

157
00:11:16,799 –> 00:11:23,879
any coalition taking place, and the wreck refused to come

158
00:11:23,879 –> 00:11:28,639
out to explain what the situation was. Subsequently, the d

159
00:11:28,840 –> 00:11:32,600
ig plased Francombat then came in and had a meeting

160
00:11:32,639 –> 00:11:36,519
with me, where I explained that if i NEX was

161
00:11:36,919 –> 00:11:40,559
postponing or stopped the collection process, then as part of

162
00:11:40,600 –> 00:11:43,879
their rules, they should inform the public or the citizens

163
00:11:44,399 –> 00:11:47,840
what next. As a three a M. There was no

164
00:11:48,039 –> 00:11:51,799
information from IRONX, so what was going to what was

165
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:54,240
going on, what was going to happen next. It was

166
00:11:54,360 –> 00:11:58,320
subsequently half time my insistence and meeting with mister Frankcomberg

167
00:11:58,519 –> 00:12:02,559
that now really is a statement at about five a m.
