Ahead of the 2019 general election, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Akwa Ibom State, Mr Mike Igini, has disclosed that no fewer than 22 polling booths have been discovered in the homes of politicians and other private residences in the state.
Speaking in an interview on Friday in Uyo, the state capital, Igini explained that “the polling booths are not illegal, but are located at improper places”, adding that such polling booths had been relocated to public places where voters can easily access.
“We have relocated such polling booths to proper places where the people can have access to them. Elections will hold in Akwa Ibom State and votes will count,” Igini assured, even as he warned desperate politicians against hate speeches that could inflame the polity.

Buhari is planning to rig 2019 election by not using e-voting. There must be e-voting! This INEC chairman has no credibility.
INEC must follow electoral act. INEC cannot take independent decision outside the electoral act. If they need time, they will be given time…..but to dump electoral act is criminal and the INEC chairman must be locked up for disobeying the law.
‘Not using e-voting,’ is Buhari’s plan to rig 2019 election. NASS must stand up to this impunity.
Predetermined outcome for Buhari’s success in 2019 is fraud. It is corruption. It is impunity. Why declare votes before election. Who does that?
So much impunity in Buhari’s corrupt administration.
Thank God. Finally senate overrides Buhari on electoral act, passed the bill, now closing the gap for corruption and election result mutilation. God bless saraki and the good people of Nigeria.
Buhari, stop deceiving the international community that the election Will be free and fair. You could have chosen to honourable sign the electoral act, instead you did the reverse.
Already INEC chairman is a criminal, he must be arrested. He cannot conduct a free and fair elections.
1. He falsified documents of kogi electorate and forged their signatures just to get at Dino
2. He rigging Ekiti state elections with 30,000 Nigerian police officers.
3. He attempted to stop issuing PVCs when he realized that north had collected more PVCs than south.
4. He Covered up for underage voters in North.
5. He wants to use N6billion to feed police in 2019 elections when the same money can pay police salaries and pension for one year, to reduce police misconduct. This is the same police he used to rig elections in ekiti state.
6. INEC connived with touts to sell PVCs to individuals at N1,500 in lagos. Go to Ikorodu INEC office and you will not be disappointed. How is this INEC chairman credible?
7. After cancelling so many viable votes, and sending INEC official to tear ballot papers of Adeleke’s votes, Adeleke of PDP still won the election. Yet INEC, with all its impunity and corruption refused to declare Adeleke winner. Osibanjo shamelessly called the INEC official while he was still addressing the press to declare the election inconclusive. Thank God for stored call logs on cell phones. Shame on these thieves.
8. Instead Buhari sends Nigeria military to terrorize osun state and hand over the state to APC. This is not democracy. Democracy was when Adeleke of PDP won the election in a leveled playing field and without the intimidation of the police and military.
9. CSOs raise alarm over purchase of PVCs from their owners in Kano state. Yet corrupt INEC is deaf and blind to it. Perhaps this is the 2.9million voter who would likely vote for Buhari. This is what the governor of Kano state was referring to, when he said that 1.2million votes are ready for Buhari.
10. Judiciary under Buhari is enabling corruption and encouraging impunity. Why is the tribunal speaking the same language of lies as those who rigged elections?
11. ETC
Our votes are not safe with this corrupt criminal called INEC chairman. He must be arrested. This man is unfit to conduct a free and fair elections. He is working for corrupt Buhari and not for Nigeria.

Nigeria we hail thee!
