Presidential Polls: Situation Reports/Results Update

Source: huhuonline.com

As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria is conducting 2011 presidential elections today, Saturday, April 16, 2011, Huhuonline.com brings the situation reports and updates for Presidential Polls at the various polling booths across the country..     The presidential election kicked off across the country as accreditation of voters was reported to have started as early as 8:00 am.    

In Otuoke, in Bayelsa, country home of President Goodluck Jonathan, reports say that the President and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was accredited alongside his wife, Patience,   his mother, Eunice and several other aides at about   8:15am at his Otuoke polling unit, in Bayelsa State.     It is also reported that there are more turn-out of people queuing up for accreditation and voting.    

The turn-out of registered voters in Delta state is impressive as accreditation started as at 8:00 am. At Uzoigwe Primary School, Asaba, the state capital. A number of persons have been accredited waiting to vote as from 12 noon at the various polling stations visited.     Uniformed policemen had mounted check points at strategic places to curb unusual movement of persons and vehicles.  

  At Ugborikoko, in Warri, the situation today, has become tense as security operatives have taken over the place following, Friday's near attack on Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and his campaign train when some youths denied him entrance into the area suspected to be a stronghold of the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP).    

Delta commissioner of police, Adisa Bolanta who confirmed the chaos which later resulted in the destruction of vehicles and scores of persons said the situation is now calm and that some persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.     Reports also have it that Governor Uduaghan voted in his home town, Abigborodo in Warri North local government area.     Meanwhile, results of the presidential election as announced from polling units in most part of the country indicate that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is leading.    

In Lagos state, the pendulum shifted towards the PDP even as the ACN seems to have held sway in some ACN controlled states in the South West geo-political zone.     The results from Ogun and Ekiti states, another stronghold of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) also shows a low magnitude of victory for the PDP.  

  Reports across Ondo state show that the joining of forces by the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party swept the election for President Goodluck Jonathan who led comfortably in the election.  

  Results pasted in different units across the state as at the time of filling in this reports indicate that President Jonathan was leading with a very wide margin but the North seems to have come out to have their pound of flesh as the CPC is suggested to be in the lead in the core Buhari stronghold.  

 
  Leaders of both the PDP and LP mobilized their supporters across the state to vote for Jonathan immediately the state LP ratified the position of its national leadership by adopting the candidacy of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for the presidency.  

  For instance, in Akure, Ondo State PU/28/06/04/017, accreditation went on fine with over 200 accredited voters.  

  At Old Alagbaka Okelisa ward 05 Unit 020 in Akure, President Jonathan polled 93 votes to defeat Ribadu 21 votes while CPC polled 2, ANPP5 and PPP 1.  

 
In Abuja, FCT PU/37/06/04/018, accreditation went on fine; people queued up to vote, although the total number of accredited voters was not announced while in Makurdi, Benue State PU/07/09/10/008, some problems were witnessed with voting, as some people (in pickup) have been bussed in, even as secret voting was being discouraged.  

But Prince Tony Momoh, National Chairman, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in a release made available to Huhuonline.com stated that praised Nigerians in their enthusiasm to pick the leaders of their choice.   He recalled that

 'Last week, there were obvious lapses we drew attention to in the elections we held to the national assembly. A lot of anomalies were recorded between the voting centres and the collating stations.

The figures would just not add up. And as people have always been told, let them go to court. It is our view that elections must be won at polling centres through the people's vote. The final outcome in other climes has been and should also here be that what happens at collation centres is the simple totalling of what the voters said through the ballot.   

'Reports reaching us from most polling stations from some zones of the country show clearly the trappings of freeness and fairness in the elections. Much as we concede to the INEC the obligation in law to announce results, we have access to the results posted at the various voting centers and we believe and insist that what we are given as results will be the totality of the votes cast.   

'We draw attention to the need for openness in the collation stage of the elections because of disturbing reports we have of massive infusion into our electoral process of the results of illegal ballot papers that have been discovered countrywide in the control of those who have no business having them. This is a clear breach of INEC directives which seemed to have been so very confidently obeyed in the breach than the observance. 

  'Reports from the field show that there was a large turnout of voters in three geo political zones - North-East, North-West and North-Central. There was low turnout in the South-South, South-East and South-West. Free and fair on the face as the elections were in many places, they were characterized by large circulation of ballot papers/boxes and result sheets outside the approved polling stations before and during the elections.       

'There were violations of processes of the elections by INEC itself nationwide. These violations include the non-disclosure of the volume of electoral materials to political parties at national, state and local government levels; the absence of elections in many rural areas in places like Rivers. Akwa Ibom, Delta States, and most parts of the South East. There were also late commencement of elections in some places including Nanya and Lugbe in FCT, Jos North Local government, and Kashere in Gombe State. Most embarrassing was the non-release of results at polling stations, and where released, not pasting.        

'As we issue this statement, we are aware of intensive moves to mutilate results of the elections. The pattern of voting countrywide is being tracked and posted on the net. We plead most sincerely that no one should embarrass this country by manipulating results through imposing on the people what they did not say through the vote that represents the only power they have to show that in them and only in them does sovereignty reside'.
