INEC must release a clear report explaining why the real-time uploading of Osun State results was halted at some point. Nigerians, let’s stop celebrating victories while critical questions remain unanswered. Demand transparency. Ask the hard questions. Electoral integrity matters more than the final score. — Rufai Oseni

After Voting, Leave the Rest for Me Wike to APC Supporters The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Official PDP Nigeria has taken note of a viral video in which the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, was seen addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress at a polling unit, openly boasting that after voting, they should “leave the rest” for him. This statement is deeply disturbing. It conveys a troubling mindset and suggests a clear intent to interfere with, manipulate, or unduly influence the electoral process. Such conduct is unacceptable in a democratic society and constitutes a direct threat to the credibility and integrity of elections. At a time when Nigerians expect transparency, neutrality, and strict adherence to democratic norms especially from public office holders this utterance falls far below the standards expected of a serving minister of the Federal Republic. The PDP therefore calls on the Independent National Electoral Commission to take immediate notice of this undemocratic statement and to unequivocally dissociate itself from any individual or action capable of compromising the credibility of the electoral process. INEC must reassure Nigerians through decisive action that it remains committed to conducting free, fair, and credible elections. Democracy must be protected, and no one regardless of position or influence should be allowed to undermine the will of the people. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN National Chairman People's Democratic Party (PDP)

In the interest of full transparency here are the details of my return to the White House Press Briefing room to ask a question from the new media seat: After Karoline Leavitt announced the new media seat and application process I filled out the form and reached out to several individuals who I previously knew from covering the complex with my interest in attending a briefing sometime in the future. They were noncommittal In the last 24 hours they reached out to me to see if I will still interested and I told them I was. *At no point* did I provide any of the questions I intended to ask to the White House and the first time they heard the questions was the first time that you all did during the briefing There was also no agreement or ask on their part as to the number of questions we would cover. I was given the opportunity to open the briefing and prepared 3 separate questions I thought were important 1. The stock market drop and the White House's reaction + whether they would commit to ruling out a recession 2. What message the White House thinks they are sending by trying to primary Thomas Massie 3. To get them on the record as to the legal standard they are using to deport Mahmoud Khalil I prepared those questions to reflect the concerns of Americans right now on the economy, concerns within the party as to what the standard is for Trump to intervene against you, and also to ask a question relating to a free speech issue which has animated online discourse in the last 24 hours I believe it is important to set a standard for independent media to ask questions that reflect why we became popular in the first place: Meeting people where they are at and asking questions about things that really effect them I want to thank the White House staff and Karoline Leavitt for inviting me to the briefing room and hope to return at some point in the future. I look forward to seeing others in the seat and setting a better standard than the legacy media Below is the full exchange I had with Karoline and a photo we took after the briefing

Yesterday, at the Senate plenary, I voted NO to the proviso that has the capacity of whittling down the mandatory electronic transmission of election results from the polling units in Form EC8A. As I have explained severally, this proviso adds nothing to the law but has the capacity to be misused, misunderstood, and used to undermine electoral integrity and transparency. My view is that INEC has already explained that it has the capacity to transmit election results in over 90% of polling units. Therefore, I feel it is the duty of INEC, once we make it mandatory, to come up with guidelines and regulations that will stipulate strict conditions for the few cases where presiding officers may not be able to transmit electronically as a result of communication failure; and these, from the last INEC report, cannot be more than 7%. My view, therefore, is that we should leave it for INEC to handle through its regulations and guidelines. The law should only make provision for mandatory electronic transmission, which we have done, and we should stop there. Hence, I voted yesterday, galvanised opinions, and also joined in voting NO to the inclusion of the proviso. Unfortunately, as I have said, the majority is determined to utilise its numbers, and they did so effectively. In a democracy, the majority has its way, but the minority will have its say. I believe that the majority should be used for the national good and not otherwise. It is now left for INEC to stipulate strict conditions for the admission of election results not transmitted electronically. It is also for the courts to bear in mind the general good when interpreting this section to promote electoral integrity and transparency. As I have said, the citizens must not give up. They should organise and support candidates and parties that promote and respect democratic norms, and organise and mobilise against candidates and parties that do otherwise. We wish Nigeria well. —HSD.

September 22, 2024 Press Statement Edo Guber: Official PDP Nigeria Backs Gov Fintiri, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri Insists Its Candidate, Asue Ighodalo Asue Ighodalo Won the Poll The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stands by the results of the Edo State Governorship election as garnered by its polling agents across the State and echoed by the Chairman of the Edo PDP National Campaign Council, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State which indicate that the PDP candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo clearly won the election. The PDP asserts that the rush, venom and hauling of insults with which the All Progressives Congress (APC) APC Nigeria attacked Governor Fintiri only confirms APC’s violent desperation to cover its manipulations and steal the mandate freely given to Dr. Asue Ighodalo by the people of Edo State as reflected in the genuine votes cast at the Polling Units. As Governor Fintiri presented, the results collated from the Polling Units have Asue Ighodalo in clear lead before the State collation exercise was hijacked by the APC which, in connivance of some unscrupulous INEC and security officials, engaged in blatant alteration and substitution of the genuine results with fabricated figures in favour of the defeated APC candidate. The PDP had on several occasions alerted Nigerians of this sinister plot by the APC which will be firmly resisted as the APC and its candidate Monday Okpebholo were thoroughly defeated in the election. The PDP in the strongest terms cautions the APC and INEC not to announce or declare any result that does not reflect the Will of the people as expressed at the Polling Units. Such will be a recipe for a huge crisis in the State as the people of Edo State will never allow their mandate in illegitimate hands. Our Party again cautions INEC not to lose sight of the violent protest that trailed the criminal attempt by the former Adamawa State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mallam Hudu Ari to alter the outcome of the 2023 Governorship election in that State which nearly led to the death of some INEC officials. Any attempt to change the results of the Edo State governorship election and allocate victory to a defeated candidate will provoke worse consequences. INEC must therefore do that which is right in the interest of peace, stability and sustenance of Democracy in Nigeria. Signed: Hon. Debo Ologunagba National Publicity Secretary
