I was discussing the just concluded SHAM and SHAMEFUL presidential elections with a close friend; when in DERISION; he said, we don’t have a president elect; but a BEND DOWN SELECT president (lower cap deliberate).

In other words, we don’t have a President-Elect yet; because that is an EXALTED office; DESERVING of HONOR and INTEGRITY!

What we have, therefore, is president BEND DOWN select! Lol.
Bend down select, is a street term, used to describe people who patronize Roadside sellers of USED foreign wares; such as shoes, clothes etc displayed on the floor.

To select your choice, you always have to BEND DOWN; and pick them.

Let us be CLEAR; Bola Ahmed Tinubu DID NOT win this election. The INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu knows it. Tinubu knows it. The OUTGOING president, Mohammadu Buhari, KNOWS it. The whole of the ruling Party APC , know it. Nigerians know it. The whole world know it.

From the Results out there, it is too EVIDENT that Peter Obi WON the Polls with a LANDSLIDE.

In COLLUSION with the INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu, the APC ENSURED that the INSTITUTION of the electoral umpire was used to SCANDALOUSLY rig an election that has SUPPOSEDLY gulped the highest vote for such venture in the history of the country.

Like the June 12 Election under Ibrahim Babangida, where the ANNOUNCEMENT of the results by the Chairman, at the time, Prof Humphrey Nwosu REVEALED the actual winner of the 1993 Presidential election; the B-VAS and the IREV EXPOSED the criminal DOCTORING of the results by the APC in CONNIVANCE with the Mahmoud-led INEC.

Everybody saw it. Everyone has the Results; particularly those who voted at each of the over 176,000 Polling units nationwide. So, the whole world now has it; and they KNOW Tinubu did not win that election.

Since we are all seeing the Results as posted online by all concerned, I don’t have the space, here, to detail the figures here; but to state that it is CRYSTAL CLEAR, Peter Obi is the TRUE WINNER of that election.

Special thanks to All those who went the extra mile; even at the risk of their Lives and Livelihoods to exercise their right to vote.

I’m talking about paying our gratitude to; Jennifer, the lady who insisted on voting with blood streaming down her eyes, the Christ Temple Church Pastor, Pat Uduagbomen and his wife, who ENSURED INEC does its job in Jos, Plateau State.

Most of all, to the family of the young man, who committed suicide; when he assumed (wrongly); that his vote would not count.

Their votes WILL NOT be; in VAIN.

I laughed when Mahmoud cried out that his life is in danger, someone said; ‘eeyaa sorry, your life is in danger; sorry, but you can go to court now…’

I don’t envy the INEC boss; because either way, his life would have been in DANGER.

If he had ALLOWED the Polls to be free and fair, his life would have been in danger with the APC hawks.

If that had happened and the actual winner DECLARED; he would have WON the HEARTS of Nigerians; and his name would have been written in gold.

You can trust Nigerians; they would RALLY around him and PROTECT his life AGAINST the few powerful criminals he has allowed to rig the election.

By the dictates of the Electoral Act, the INEC Chairman has put himself in danger of the Law; not just of the Nigerian people. The Act EXPRESSLY and explicitly states that Election Results MUST be TRANSMITTED from the Polling Units to the INEC Server.

Did Mahmoud allow that to be done? No.

The one fact that has put Mahmoud in LEGAL JEOPARDY is the QUESTION he has FAILED to answer. Why is it that the gadget that ELECTRONICALLY transmitted the Results of the Senate and the House of Reps, could not transmit the Presidential ones?

From the contentious campaign, through the TENSED and tenuous Voting process to the DUBIOUS victory being celebrated by some people, what this election has succeeded in achieving; for me, is the kind of CHARACTERS who ELECT to ASSOCIATE with the OBVIOUS fraud that has CHARACTERIZED the PERSON, PARTY and POSITIONS of those in the camp of the so called winners.

These people are members of our families, friends and people we RESPECT.

The day I almost literally VOMITTED; was when one elderly friend I regard highly; said to me he is supporting the APC candidate because he is a PROUD Yoruba man.

Can you imagine that!

I have absolutely nothing against the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He is a BENEFACTOR to many; and indeed, he has PULLED many from zero to heights, those Beneficiaries can only imagine; in their wildest dreams.

So, to that extent, if those ones see his presidential ambition as their payback support, it is very okay. Perhaps, I would do that too; and I know EXCEPT you are an ingrate, would you do otherwise.

For someone who pulls you from a point you could BARELY feed yourself, let alone your family; to the point where you can FEED your community; or, one who not only PAID the bills that SAVED you from a terminal health condition; but ENSURED you are COMFORTABLE for life; let us face it, if you give ANY excuses for not SUPPORTING the guy whenever he needs your participation in his ventures, then you are an INGRATE!

If supporting him on such a venture would be too shameful to you to associate with, the best thing would be for you to QUIETLY evade the guy and disappear; just to save your integrity; as this CONTEXT demands.

So, it is okay for the Jagaban to be in the godfather role he KNOWS how to play; and no one would have bothered to PROBE or pry into his private life.

No one would bother about whether he went to school or not. How he made his money, dubious or not, would be nobody’s business.

Coming out to be President of a country, meant you have to be as CLEAN as you can be; because that is what that HIGH office DEMANDS; and as the whole world have seen now, it doesn’t look like Tinubu has the MORAL qualification among other considerations to contest; let alone be in that office; SENTIMENTS aside.

In school, we are told that we have EARNED our CERTIFICATE; having fulfilled certain criteria in CHARACTER and in LEARNING!

With what I have discovered so far, I can no longer vouch that those two criteria are still intact in the life of many; who went to school.

Otherwise, how do you, as one; who is SUPPOSEDLY okay; in character and in learning; ACCEPT a candidate; whose educational, financial and even date of birth are QUESTIONABLE?

Is that what you wish for yourself or your child?

How do you as one who is SUPPOSED to be a Law abiding member of the society, ENDORSE an election that you KNOW was RIGGED?

If you were in the camp of the CHEATED, would you accept DEFEAT; in a contest that you won FAIR and SQUARE?

These are the questions those celebrating would need to answer, if they have CONSCIENCE.

For someone whose victory was by CROOK; and at the loss of Lives; with so much MAYHEM all over the place, do you think if he comes to power, he will not EMPLOY the same VIOLENCE to SUPPRESS you to have his way?

In 2015, Buhari threatened to have monkeys and baboons SOAKED in BLOOD; in an election, he thought he was going to be rigged out of, once again.

Thankfully, Goodluck Jonathan CONCEDED.

Is that not the FATE, Buhari has made us to SUFFER; for eight years?

Now, Jagaban has become president-select (sorry, elect) through BRAZEN rigging, vote-buying, voter suppression and intimidation.

Remember, those who supported Buhari, at the HIGHEST level, were some of the victims of the Kaduna-Abuja Train KIDNAP saga.

That is BESIDES the LITTLE people, who have been the direct and indirect VICTIMS of kidnapping and killing, the APC government subjected our Lives to; for Buhari’s two terms.

If you are enjoying your Jagaban loot today, pray your own Kaduna-Abuja tragedy is not anywhere close to the kidnap those ones experienced.

As they say, what goes around comes around.

Fortunately, this election FRAUD is too GLARING to be ALLOWED to pass.

Remember, I have warned in one of my write ups that Peter Obi’s victory will be LANDSLIDE; but any ATTEMPT or ‘attempted attempts’ to ANNULL his mandate will be RESISTED by the Nigerian people. This is far MORE THAN June 12.

Jennifer Efedi, who VOTED, literally, with her blood; is a SIGNIFIER of the DETERMINATION of Nigerians, to DEFEND their votes; with their BLOOD!
