NO AMOUNT OF FOREIGN REPORTS WILL CHANGE NIGERIA'S DESTINY!

THERE was massive jubilation in the camp of Nigeria's major opposition party, PDP, when the EU Election Observation Mission (EUEOM), Final Report on the 2019 General Elections was released on Friday, 14th June, 2019, to coincide with the on-going appeal of their candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, against his loss, at the Presidential Appeal Tribunal, Abuja. The People's Democratic Party strongly believes that the orchestrated report would vindicate their claims of election-rigging and thereby, reverse the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari, in their favour!

Since PDP lost the 2015 presidential elections to its charign, to the All Progressives Party (APC), it never failed at every opportunity to seek for foreign interventions that could "miraculously" sack the ruling party and overturn the tables in their favour to continue their unabated looting of Nigeria's treasury which persisted for a consecutive period of 16 years, 1999-2015!

It is instructive to note that this international observation mission of the European Union (EU), which monitored the 2019 General Elections on the invitation of the Independent Nigeria Electoral Commission (INEC), did not represent the EU as a body, and the report released by it on 14th June, 2019, was fragile and futile because prominent member countries of EU had congratulated the winner, President Buhari and Nigerians for a successful outing!

The EU Report was SUSPECT, considering its timing and the excited reception given to it by the major opposition party whose appeal against President Buhari's victory was being microscoped at the Electoral Tribunal! Was it not evident that the report was intended to influence or intimidate the Tribunal's Judges Adjudication over the appeal before them for the following cogent reasons:
It took this group almost three months to compile an indictment which portrayed the entire elections as totally marred by violence, malpractices, vote buying and biased intervention by security agents in favour of the ruling party! "We saw systemic failures in Nigeria's 2019 Elections", they asserted; and in another vein, the report also indicted the two major parties, APC and PDP in respect of perpetrating electoral violence in some States - especially Rivers - and made some recommendations to assuage future occurrences in 2023.
Was the report not SUBJUDICE? Was it not a plot against Buhari's overwhelming victory at the poll because PDP claimed that its content would vindicate it at the Appeal Tribunal? WAS IT NOT A CASE OF INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY? In tandem with EUEOM were the National Democratic Institute (NDI), and International Republican Institute (IRI), reports which claimed that the 2019 Elections were marred by irregularities such as intimidation of voters and electoral officials, vote-buying and election-related violence! WHY ARE THESE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AFRAID TO CALL A SPADE BY ITS NAME? CAN THE MOTLEY CROWD OF ELECTION OBSERVERS INTIMIDATE THIS FOCUSSED CHANGE ADMINISTRATION LED BY THE INTERNATIONALLY-ACCLAIMED MAN OF INTEGRITY?
PDP MEMBERS ARE GLOBALLY IDENTIFIED AS THE DESPERATE POLITICIANS WHO WOULD GO TO ANY LENGTH TO "REGAIN POWER", BUT THE FOREIGN OBSERVERS FAILED TO SAY THE TRUTH!
Shortly before the elections when President Buhari warned Nigerians to resist the temptation of BALLOT BOX snatching or be prepared to do so at the risk of their lives, he was castigated and labelled as a leader without conscience; - BUT the opposition still went ahead to recruit thugs who snatched boxes and also perpetrated much violence which resulted in the loss of some lives!
Also before the 2019 General Elections, the Nigerian Customs  Service (NCS), operatives seized several  containers of military camouflage uniforms and also thousands of arms and ammunitions being smuggled into the country through the nation's numerous porous borders by desperate politicians who were bent on seizing power at the centre by force in a commando fashion!

PARTY COALITIONS AND POLITICS GANG-UPS AGAINST BUHARI!
It is on record, that ex-president Aremu Obasanjo, plotted with about 35 political parties, led by the PDP, in his bid to oust the incumbent deployed all manner of unholy strategies to heat up the polity - including the bare-faced demand that he should resign at the end of the first tenure! Obasanjo reconciled with his estranged Vice President, Atiku Abubakar whom he swore never to forgive for reasons of betrayal and tried effortlessly to discredit and malign the person of President Buhari, but to no avail and the rest is now relegated to history!

FOREIGN OBSERVERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BLAMED APC FOR ANY ELECTORAL VIOLENCE!
Why would a Change Government which was faced with the challenges of crimes/criminalities of Boko Haram terrorism, farmers/herders incessant clashes, rampant incidences of kidnappings, banditry, militancy, etc, right from inception in May, 2015, decide to wage fresh wars of electoral violence upon its already traumatized citizens?
The famous Slogan of the major opposition party candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar throughout the campaign period before the elections was: "BUHARI MUST GO. ..... BUHARI MUST GO........BUHARI MUST GO!" The African adage states that: "IF THE WITCH CRIED IN THE NIGHT AND THE BABY DIED IN THE MORNING; IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE WITCH HAD KILLED THE BABY!

WHO WILL BELIEVE OUR REPORT? PRESIDENCY INSISTS THAT ELECTIONS WERE FAIR!
INEC released a report that the 2019 General Elections was not only free, fair and credible, but was a great improvement over that of 2015! The body announced early on Wednesday, 27th February, 2019, that the incumbent, President Buhari, candidate of the governing APC party won the poll convincingly with 55.6% of the total valid votes in the presidential election while his closest candidate, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, scored 42.2%! The body did not deny that there were some security lapses at some polling centres, but that the election generally witnessed reduced violence, ballot box snatching and announcement of fraudulent election results.
Chairman, YIAGA AFRICA, Samson Itodo, disclosed that its youth group, "Watching The Vote (WTV)"; electronically monitored the general elections in all States of the Federation and CONFIRMED that total FIGURES OF RESULTS COMPILED BY WTV AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COMPARATIVELY TALLIED WITH THOSE WHICH INEC RELEASED! The non-partisan Local Observer group published its assessments, successes, challenges during the conduct of the 2019 elections through Parallel Vote Tabulation (PVT), election observation deployment at the end of April 2019. The group conducted an extensive reflection sessions with its State Focal Points in charge of; election observation deployment in various States in Nigeria to assess the quality of its deployment for the 2019 Elections to which it deployed 3,906 Observers across ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS IN Nigeria for the Presidential Election - using the Parallel Vote Tabulation methology, and took steps to assess the process in a bid to improve on the system ahead of the Bayelsa and Kogi Governorship Elections coming up in November, 2019.

These Ambassadors for credible elections who were spread throughout sampled polling units, used data and technology to enhance deployment in challenging terrains of the Riverine and especially, the insurgency affected areas of North East Nigeria, which monitoring recorded 100% coverage!

APC REACTS NEGATIVELY TO THE FOREIGN REPORTS!
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, described reports on the 2019 General Elections by some international institutions as efforts to discredit the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Administration. He said it was an orchestrated international conspiracy to discredit Nigeria's successful diversification policy which has placed the nation as the number one commercial/industrial destination in Africa adding that Nigeria now enjoys food security which has reduced drastically previous large global importation!

ARE FOREIGN ELECTIONS PERFECT? Can perfect elections be conducted anywhere in the world as long as human factor prevailed? Can the United States, which is globally adjudged as the best universal democracy, vouch for conduct of flawless elections The Florida's year 2000 controversial presidential election figures still rings bell. Florida, a swing state, had a major recount dispute that took centre stage in the contest between Gorge W. Bush and Al  Gore of that time. It is still in the public domain that President Donald  Trump was rigged into the White House by Russian Server hackers while there were electoral flaws in several EU Countries; Spain, Turkey, to mention a few!
WORLD LEADERS sent goodwill messages to President Muhammadu Buhari, on his re-election for a second term in office: In Africa, President of Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou, was the first African leader; followed by Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa; Cameroonian President, Paul Biya ; President, Xi JinPing, leader of the most populous nation and second largest economy after the US, led the pack among other leaders outside the shores of Africa to congratulate President Buhari. He promised a more robust cooperation with Nigeria. He was followed by the President Donald Trump; Mrs.Theresa May, United Kingdom (UK); Angela Marcel of Germany. ........... Etc, etc,
President Ramaphosa in his message paid particular focus on the strengthening of economic cooperation; his Ghanaian counterpart, Nana Akufo-Addo extended a warm congratulations while Zimbabwean Emmerson Mnangagwa also wished Buhari well in his efforts  to steer the country towards further progress and development! Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Russia, were not left behind as they all congratulated Buhari as the winner of the 2019 Presidential Election and said they looked forward to cordial economic relationship. KENYA'S President, Uhuru Kenyatta congratulated President Buhari saying his victory was a clear demonstration of the trust and confidence, Nigerians have in him and his ability to lead the country to greater heights.

PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS HAVE REJECTED FOREIGN ELECTORAL REPORTS!
EUEOM, IRI, and their ilk cannot force biased election reports on Nigerians who believe in the results already declared by INEC and in the solid socio-economic achievements of President Buhari of the first term and are very willing to support the second term agenda programmes of the NEXT LEVEL! It very clear that those reports were their personal records which have neither legal binding nor could in any way influence the JUDICIARY in the discharge of their duties at both the Appeal Tribunal and Supreme Court, at the appointed  period!

"When men say are cast down, then thou shall say, there is a LIFTING UP!..........."(Job 22: 29).
