Anambra student with best UTME score faked results — JAMB

After receiving N3M scholarship for scoring the highest in the 2023 UTME exam in Anambra, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB confirms that the student faked her result. Ejikeme Mmesoma is accused of deliberately faking her score and falsely claiming to be the highest scorer in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Miss Ejikeme Mmesoma In a statement released by the board on Sunday, it was revealed that Ejikeme manipulated her score in order to secure a N3 million scholarship from Innoson Motors. She was also scheduled to receive recognition from the Anambra State government until now that her deceit was uncovered. The statement reads in part; “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to several publications in both print and online media celebrating certain candidates for being high scorers in the 2023 UTME. “The Board is constrained to set the records straight and wishes to state unequivocally that many of the results which many of these candidates are parading are fake. In many instances, some of these candidates had actually obtained far lower scores than they are claiming and had used some funny software packages to manipulate their results to deceive unsuspecting members of the public. “The most pathetic of them all is the case of Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma, who claimed to have scored 362 in the 2023 UTME and was awarded a N3m scholarship by Chief (Dr.) Innocent Chukwuma. She was even set to be honoured by the Anambra State Government when one of its top officials put a call through to JAMB to confirm her claim, only for the Board to reveal that Miss Ejikeme Joy Mmesoma had actually scored 249 and not the 362 she claimed. She had manipulated her UTME result to deceive the public to fraudulently obtain scholarships and other recognitions.” The statement further noted that the board is aware of another instance of fraudulent behaviour involving a candidate who falsely asserted to have obtained an aggregate score of 380 in the 2023 UTME. Punishment for highest scoring Anambra UTME student, others who faked UTME result “We commended the likes of Dr. Innocent Chukwuma and wish to encourage other Nigerians, who desire to invest in the future of genuine youngsters, never to be discouraged but to always ensure that they get the authentic results from the Board as done by the Anambra State Ministry of Education; otherwise they will be celebrating criminality as this is just another new fraudulent method in town. “However, these candidates only succeed in manipulating what they are holding, as the authentic results are with the Board and would be transmitted to their schools of choice at the appropriate time. “It is to be noted that Miss Mmesoma had sent a message to the Board’s platform to request her UTME result, after which she manually inflated her scores and pasted same on the 2022 UTME result sheet. Unknown to her, the Board had changed the design of the 2023 UTME result sheet. Her original result remains 249, as nothing can change that. With this her ignoble act, Miss Mmesoma would be prosecuted and her original result withdrawn. This is not all, as the Board would, in due course, investigate all candidates laying claims to higher scores than they actually obtained. Once discovered, such candidates’ original results would be withdrawn forthwith, and they would be handed over to relevant security agencies for prosecution.”

How INEC deleted presidential election results from BVAS – Expert

A witness of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has told the Presidential Election Petition Court, (PEPC) that the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, deleted Presidential Election results on all the 110 BVAS machines he inspected. Mr Hitler Nwala, a subpoenaed witness, made the assertion on Thursday in Abuja while giving evidence as an expert witness for the petitioners in their petition challenging the outcome of the Feb. 25 presidential election results.

A collage photo of the INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu and an official holding BVAS The witness who was led in evidence by the petitioner’s lead counsel, Mr Chris Uche, SAN, said that the machines inspected were only those from the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT). He also told the court that he was a Digital Forensic Analyst and that he didn’t know at what point the results were deleted on machines. Under cross-examination by counsel to the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), Mr Abubakar Mahmoud, SAN, the witness said that he attached a standard device used for such an exercise to the machine to arrive at the conclusion. When asked if he had the authority of the commission to attach an external device to the BVAS machine, the witness answered in the affirmative. Mahmoud further asked the witness if he was aware that inspecting only 110 machines out of 3,163 that were deployed in the FCT amounted to only 3.4 per cent of the total number of BVAS deployed in the FCT and 0.06 per cent of BVAS deployed nationwide. To this, the witness told the court that he only compiled the report and didn’t take out time to calculate the percentages. The INEC counsel attempted to give a BVAS machine to the witness to check if it was deleted as he had said in his report. The witness, however, said that it would be against the ethics of his profession to collect the BVAS machine in open court to check it. “It is professionally wrong to access a device that will be used as evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction because it will temper with the evidence. “We cannot access the device directly, what we do is to extract the evidence and take it for analysis.” Moreover, the witness told the court that since all the devices had the same model and looked the same on the outside, he couldn’t tell if it was one of the ones he inspected by merely looking at it. For his part, counsel to the All Progressives Congress, (APC) Mr Lateef Fagbemi, SAN told the witness that neither he nor any of his team members signed the six-volume forensic report. The witness, however, insisted that he signed the report as well as the certificate of compliance. On his part, counsel to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Wole Olanipekun, SAN confronted the witness with a portion of his report where he said that from his inspection of the machines, “nothing was intrinsically wrong with them”. “Were you in Abuja on the day of the presidential election? “If you were not in Abuja, how then can you know that there was nothing intrinsically wrong with the machines on the day of the election?” The witness said that he was not in Abuja and so he couldn’t have known if something went wrong with the machines on the day of the election. After the witness was discharged, the petitioners went further to tender Forms EC8A series from 20 local government areas of Ogun, 17 local government areas of Ondo, 27 local government areas of Jigawa, and 20 local government areas of Rivers. The Chairman of the court, Justice Haruna Tsammani adjourned the hearing of the petition until Friday. The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that going by the pre-hearing report; Atiku and the PDP are expected to close their case on Friday. NAN reports that they had asked for three weeks to present their case which elapsed on Tuesday but because they had lost three days, one being the June 12 Democracy Day Public Holiday, the court extended their time by three days.

INEC explains why agents were denied access to election results

INEC officials explain why agents were denied access to election results at 2023 Presidential Poll

Three officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC have explained that the Commission instructed them not to give final copies of election results that were tabulated in a Form EC8A, to some political party agents. The officials also admitted that they couldn’t electronically transmit the polling unit results in real-time using the BVAS device during the 2023 presidential election held on 25 February 2023 across the country. They explained this in court on Friday during the hearing of the petition candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, filed to challenge the outcome of the 2023 election. Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar The officials testified before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja that they were hired as Ad-hoc staff for the general elections. They further told the court that as Presiding Officers, they conducted the presidential election at their various polling units and subsequently handed the results to the Ward Collation Officers, saying that they were warned not to give copies of the results to any agent of a political party that failed to sign the result sheet. Recall that President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and the All Progressives Congress, APC had opposed the decision of the petitioners to produce five ad-hoc staff members of the electoral body that participated in the conduct of the presidential election, to testify as witnesses before the court. However, despite the objections, Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel of the court, gave the former Vice President, Atiku, the nod to produce the five witnesses. The court said it would reserve its ruling on the objections and deliver the same at a later date. Whereas two of the witnesses testified on Thursday, the remaining two gave their evidence on Friday.

Declare Abia, Enugu results now, Obi charges INEC

The presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare results for Abia.

Peter Obi has registered his displeasure over the continuous delay in releasing the governorship results of Abia and Enugu States. In a statement released by Peter Obi today 21st March 2023, Obi charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release the results immediately. “Having appealed privately on this matter let me do it publicly, for the imperative of releasing the gubernatorial election results of Abia and Enugu state immediately. “I am aware that the INEC said they are reviewing the collation of the results in these two states. I like to urge them to accelerate their actions as the continued delay is questioning INEC’s intent and the credibility of the election. “It is disheartening that the commission is unable to resolve whatever issues that are holding the release of the results. The records of elections from polling units should not be difficult to calculate if the electoral officials are committed to the integrity of the exercise, and the stipulated guidelines,” Obi said.

INEC staff in Surulere Lagos accosted for saying results will only be uploaded at RAC center

INEC staff deployed to PU059 in Surulere, Lagos state has said that they cannot upload the governorship and state house of assembly election results directly from the polling unit.

The lady addressing voters informed them that the results collected won’t be uploaded from the polling unit until they take them to the INEC Registration Area Centre (RAC) where, according to her, the network is. This, however, sparked angry reactions from voters who insisted that they upload the results to iRev immediately after the results were counted to avoid the possibility of the results being changed later on. Watch the video below:

INEC uploads 90% results on IReV portal, one week after election

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is still in the process of uploading the polling unit results on its IREV portal a week following the presidential election.

According to The Punch, as of the 4th of March, 159,509 out of 176,846 polling units have been successfully uploaded, representing 90% of results across the country. Although the electronic transmission is still ongoing, INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, had declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as the winner of the election on March 1, 2023, despite objections by the main opposition parties. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party alleged that the commission did not follow its guidelines, which require results to be uploaded on the IReV portal before they are announced at the collation centre.

2023 Election results didn’t reflect the will of the people

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, says the election results do not “reflect the will of the people”.

His statement trails the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC‘s declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election. Yakubu said the APC standard bearer secured a total of 8,794,726 votes to win the election. Meanwhile, Sowore was only able to garner 14, 608 votes in the election.

Speaking in his state of the nation address on Wednesday, Sowore said the 2023 presidential election. He insists that INEC’s failed to electronically transmit results to its portal. “This particular election, by their own standard, did not meet any of the legal requirements that say every election result must be scanned and uploaded to the INEC server. But there is nothing new about it, before this election, I had said INEC wasn’t ready for this election,” he said. “We categorically condemn the election that was held on the 25th of February as a fraudulent election that didn’t meet the standard of what should be called a free, fair and credible election. There is nothing surprising about it. We knew that these criminals in our system have no interest in organising a free and fair election. What they did was a selection as they usually do, they have just given you the candidate of the choice of the criminal political elite in Nigeria. Any figures, either for me or against me or them or against them that you see during this election were concocted and manufactured fraudulently.”, Sowore noted.

Ali Baba opposes manual collation of presidential election results

Famous Nigerian actor and comedian, Ali Baba express concern about the manual collation of the just concluded 2023 presidential elections.

Following the conclusion of the February 25th Presidential election, there have been discrepancies concerning the results. In a recent post shared via the social media page of the public figure, he opposes the manual collation of the election results. According to his post, collating results manually will only succeed in rendering them useless. Further in his post, he said that “failure to transmit the results from the Polling Unit negates the law. And makes the results invalid.” Ali Baba wrote: “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
_
1. The intending voters will check for their names on a register.
_
2. Upon seeing your name and details, you will join the queue to be accredited.
_
3. You will be accredited after the BVAS machine recognizes your face and fingerprint.
_
4. After accreditation, you will collect your ballot papers, go to the cubicle, vote, and after that, drop your ballot paper in the appropriate box.
_
5. The votes will be counted after all on the queue have voted 🗳. The agents and electorate will watch the votes counted, and the results imputed into the BVAS machine.
_
6. The results transmitted would also have to be signed by the agents.
_
7. All the results transmitted to the State collation office will then be collated and sent to the Federal or National collation centre Abuja.
_
8. Failure to transmit the results from the Polling Unit negates the law. And makes the results invalid.” See post below;
