Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adias, suspended results collation<\/a> during the elections due to the claimed threats.<\/p>\nDespite having nothing to do with the way elections were conducted or the calculation of results, he claimed that some followers of one political party were out for his life and the lives of his family members.<\/p>\n
Those who accuse him of manipulating the Rivers elections, according to him, are posting his picture and personal information online and urging other party members to deal with him.<\/p>\n
He stated on Sunday that while he was aware of the challenges of being a collation officer, he decided to weather the storm because of his commitment to the growth and development of the political process in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn my appointment as State Collation Officer for the 2023 Presidential Elections (SCOPE) in Rivers, I had set out, as a call to duty on national assignment to fulfil an essential part of my community service as an academic and vice-chancellor of a federal University.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worked within my brief as statutorily demanded and as clearly enunciated in the Electoral Guidelines and other enabling instruments.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the nature of my assignment, as it is with every other job in this sphere, I knew it was going to be challenging, but I braved it being assured that I would surmount whatever challenge by the grace of God.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs statutorily designated, I received reports of collated and announced results from local government area council collation officers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI collated votes scored by each political party from Forms EC8C into Form EC8D and entered the votes scored in the spaces provided,\u2019\u2019 he stated.<\/p>\n
He added that the local governments collated results made up the state\u2019s summary, which he cross-checked with the Collation Support and Result Verification System secretariat for computational accuracy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI announced loudly the votes scored by each political party; signed, dated and stamped the Form EC8D and requested the polling agents to countersign.<\/p>\n
\u201cOther formalities followed up to the final collation centre in Abuja.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe procedure was dutifully followed under public viewing and in the presence of regular INEC staff, INEC ad-hoc staff, party agents and security personnel, local and foreign observers, and the press.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no adverse and untoward behaviour noted or recorded, all the way,\u2019\u2019 Adias stated.<\/p>\n
He stated also that thereafter, he began to receive several phone calls and text messages threatening, abusing and insulting his person and family on Feb. 26 while on his way to Port Harcourt to report to duty.<\/p>\n
He added that he did not know that his photograph and phone number were already in circulation on the social media alleging that he influenced votes and scores of candidates by manipulating the BVAS machines.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn getting to Port Harcourt, I informed the Resident Electoral Commissioner about my experiences which he condemned and promised that my safety was assured.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe pledged that INEC would do something about it,\u2019\u2019 Adias stated.<\/p>\n
Adias stated that after collating results for three local government areas on Feb. 26, he retired to his hotel room to prepare for the following day only for the threat calls and messages to continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cI managed to bear it till the following day when I set out to collate results for 18 more local government areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the hectic process, the results for Obio\/Akpor and Degema Local Government Areas were not ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsidering all that had happened, I decided to adjourn the collation of results on Feb. 28 and insisted on a press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was to let everyone know about the several threats to my life as they may affect the collation exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cI insisted that until INEC addressed the issues of misinformation and blackmail and defined the roles of SCOPE, I would not go on with the exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy request was granted and INEC held a press conference debunking all the misinformation and disinformation. Thereafter, the collation continued and the exercise was completed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no truth in the rumours that had been peddled. It is just a figment of the imagination of their bearers to what end I cannot really ascertain,\u2019\u2019 Adias stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
