Poll Manipulations: APC Caught Pants Down In A Calculated Game Of Twists

**INEC Must Be Resisted Now

**INEC’s Digital Election Rigging Strategy Exposed – Act Before the Owl Cries

By Chimezie Ochi-Ogbuaku

The Impossible Numbers

INEC’s first week of voter registration produced 1,379,342 registrations that defy mathematical reality. Osun State alone recorded 393,269 registrations in seven days—142% more than the 275,815 voters it added in four years (2019-2023) This isn’t demographic growth; it’s statistical fraud.

The Geographic Impossibility

South-West Concentration: 67% of national registrations

• Osun: 393,269 (28.5%)
• Lagos: 222,205 (16.1%)
• Ogun: 132,823 (9.6%)

South-East Desert: 0.14% of national registrations

• Entire region: 1,998 registrations
• Osun alone registered 196 times more than all five South-East states combined. Ostensibly to dampen Peter Obi’s cache.

This distribution is demographically impossible and reveals strategic phantom voter placement.

The Computer-Generated Slip Trap

INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu announced that Physical Voter Cards (PVCs) would no longer be required, replaced by computer-generated slips verified through BVAS. This eliminates crucial physical verification safeguards.

The Two-Phase Digital Coup

Phase 1 (Happening Now): Create phantom voter database through impossible registration surges in target states

Phase 2 (Election Day): Generate computer slips for phantom registrations, bypassing physical verification to manufacture votes

Why Traditional Safeguards Are Being Eliminated

PVC System (Being Phased Out):

• Required physical card production
• Demanded voter collection
• Provided tangible verification
• Created manufacturing bottlenecks that limited fraud

Computer Slip System (Being Implemented):

• Unlimited digital generation
• No physical collection needed
• Harder for observers to verify
• Single points of digital control

The Mathematical Evidence

Historical Growth Rate: 9.4 million new voters over four years (2019-2023)
Current Rate: 1.379 million in one week (projecting 72 million annually)

Impossibility Factor: Current rate is 15 times the historical four-year growth

Osun Case Study:

• 2022 Governorship: Peak turnout of 823,124 votes
• 2025 Week 1: 393,269 registrations (47.8% of peak historical turnout)
• Historical impossibility: No demographic explosion explains this surge

Strategic Implications

This combination creates perfect conditions for massive vote manufacturing:

1. Phantom Database: Impossible registration numbers create artificial voter base
2. Digital Activation: Computer slips convert phantom registrations to votes
3. Geographic Targeting: Concentrated in states crucial for electoral victory
4. Legal Cover: Technological “advancement” provides legitimacy

Why Act NOW

Legal Window Closing: Once systems are “established,” challenging them becomes exponentially harder

Infrastructure Entrenchment: Phantom registrations gain legitimacy through time and acceptance

2027 Proximity: Limited time for comprehensive legal and technical challenges

International Credibility: Early intervention maintains Nigeria’s democratic reputation

Immediate Actions Required

For Opposition Parties:
Unite immediately to demand forensic audits and legal challenges, regardless of partisan differences.

For Civil Society:
Contact international partners (AU, ECOWAS, UN) for immediate technical assessment and intervention.

For Legal Community:
File urgent court challenges against both anomalous registrations and computer-generated slip implementation.

For Media:
Investigate these statistical impossibilities relentlessly and expose the manipulation strategy.

For Citizens:
Understand that this threatens democracy itself—not just party politics. Demand action from representatives immediately.

The Stakes: Democracy or Digital Theater

This isn’t about electoral competition—it’s about whether Nigeria will have genuine elections or sophisticated digital theater. The phantom voter infrastructure being built now will determine whether 2027 represents democratic choice or digital manipulation.
