Overview

The postponement of Nigeria’s fifth election since its return to civilian rule in 1999, together with fierce political competition, a security crisis and severe economic challenges linked to the drop in oil price, have thrown into sharp relief the challenges of conducting this essential process in such a complex environment. While there is widespread speculation as to the reasons for the delay, there is also widespread acknowledgment of the necessity that national elections do now take place as scheduled on 28 March.

General Muhammadu Buhari, former military ruler (1983-85) and now opposition presidential candidate, will discuss the importance of democracy for Africa’s future, and in particular why delivering dividends of elected government matter both to Nigeria and internationally. 

LIVE STREAM: This event will be live streamed. The live stream will be made available at 10:00 GMT on Thursday 26 February.

ASK A QUESTION: Send questions for the speaker by using #CHAfrica on Twitter. A selection will be put to him during the event.

Governor Fayose Confesses To Partaking In Ekiti Poll Rigging Meeting Secretly Recorded By Army Captain Koli

Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has finally confessed to partaking in the secret meeting where politicians led by former minister of state for defense, Musiliu Obanikoro met with army officer led by a Brigadier General plotted how to rig last August's gubernatorial election for Mr. Fayose.

Mr. Fayose was speaking  at an event in Ekiti where he inadvertently referred to the tape and then he quickly tried to change his story by claiming that he was only chastising the army general for being compromised in the presense of his collegaues. Mr. Fayose's confession contrasts his earlier stance that the tape was manufactured with the aid of a voice software.  The minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan had earlier confessed to being at the meeting, however, President Goodluck Jonathan told reporters from the Wallstreet Journal during a recent interview that the tape was not "real" stating that the incident will not be probed.

 Listen to Fayose's confession here:

The Constitutional Obligation of The Armed Forces to Safeguard Elections.

The Constitutional Obligation of the Armed Forces as per 1999 Constitution. - Olu Ojedokun

Yesterday, the INEC Chairman indicated that the elections will not hold as scheduled on the 14th and 28th of February 2014.  The ostensive reason provided was the inability of the military and security agencies to guarantee security for the elections.  In other words the armed forces and the security agencies are unable to fulfill their constitutional obligations of Section 217(1)(c) to the nation. The military and security apparatus have decided that obeying provisions of the constitution to provide a secure environ for these elections is something they consider non-feasible! ' 'Jega was quoted to have told the council that the commission was ready for the conduct of the election but the military chiefs were quoted to have said they could not guarantee the security of electoral officers, materials and the electorate should the commission go ahead with the earlier schedule.'  In the plain meaning of actions   or words, they appear to imply they will not receive operational directions from civilian led authorities in form of INEC contrary to Section 217(1)(c).  I suggest a dangerous precedent has been set here, one in which we may not recover from if not arrested.

So what are the options?  

• In a situation where the men in uniform are no longer able to guarantee security for a lawful process as General Elections as specified in the provisions below, then the question arises why they continue to adorn the uniform of the Armed Forces of the Federation of Nigeria?  They should relinquish their command, not hide behind a 4-year insurgency and allow others more capable and aware of the constitutional responsibilities to assume command.

• It is an act of cowardice for a Commander-in-Chief who is operationally responsible for the Armed Forces as detailed below to outsource it to the National Security Adviser. The President himself should have addressed this issue himself, in fact the nation, if he felt the military were unable to perform their constitutional mandate and then fired them with cause.  The principle of civilian led and directed military must be held sacrosanct and in this case it has been breached because of a deification of duty. 

• The National Assembly should be convened immediately to address and forestall any further constitutional breaches and investigate the role of the NSA and military chiefs in orchestrating what appears to be a subversion of military authority.

• Finally, it, the NSA and security forces' actions should be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

I conclude by stating we are in a dangerous phrase here and we must forestall any attempt by this government and others to remain in office beyond the 29th May by any other means than through the ballot box... 

Here are the relevant provisions of the Constitution...

217. (1) There shall be an armed forces for the Federation which shall consist of an army, a navy, an Air Force and such other branches of the armed forces of the Federation as may be established by an Act of the National Assembly.

(2) The Federation shall, subject to an Act of the National Assembly made in that behalf, equip and maintain the armed forces as may be considered adequate and effective for the purpose of -

(a) defending Nigeria from external aggression;

(b) maintaining its territorial integrity and securing its borders from violation on land, sea, or air;

(c) suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President, but subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly; and

(d) performance such other functions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly……….

218. (1) The powers of the President as the Commissioner-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation shall include power to determine the operational use of the armed forces of the Federation.

(2) The powers conferred on the President by subsection (1) of this section shall include power to appoint the Chief of Defence staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff, the Chief of Air Staff and heads of any other branches of the armed forces of the Federation as may be established by an Act of the National Assembly.

(3) The President may, by directions in writing and subject to such conditions as he think fit, delegate to any member of the armed forces of the Federation his powers relating to the operational use of the Armed Forces of the Federation.

US Firm Confirms Authenticity of Audio on Rigging of Ekiti Polls SPECIAL REPORTS

 2015-02-07 09:25:10

A New York-based security firm that helped analyse the voices of the characters in the shocking leaked recording on the rigged Ekiti election has given insight into how it determined the authenticity of the audio clip.

(Cover picture: A visibly amazed, out-rigged former Governor, Fayemi)

In a report, Guardian Consulting said it conducted a forensic examination on the discussion and compared the voices to public record samples of the known individuals.

In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Tom Fitzgerald, the President of the company, confirmed that his company did the investigation.

“I can confirm that we did the testing,” Mr. Fitzgerald said.

He declined further comments, referring PREMIUM TIMES to a London-based firm, ATP Advisers, who he said gave his company the job.

ATP Advisers could not be reached for comments.

According to his Linkedin profile, Mr. Fitzgerald was a former detective with the New York Police Detective [NYPD] and the Foreign Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He has over 30 years’ experience as a detective of repute.

Re: Executive summary regarding Nigeria tapes Nov. 27, 2014

Guardian Consulting Group LLC were engaged on Nov. 10 to conduct forensic examinations on an audio recording purported to be a private discussion among presumed Nigerian officials regarding disrupting an election (“The Recording”). The first phase of the engagement was to conduct analysis to identify the voices on The Recording by comparing them to public record samples of known individuals. The second phase was to judge the veracity of selected parts of the conversation to a degree of scientific survey.

Executive Summary of Findings:

IDENTIFICATION

The following voices from The Recording were subjected to a Forensic Voice Frequency Comparison against known samples and were found to match to a 98% degree of certainty:

• Governor Avo Favose

• Senator Iviola Omisore

• Hon. Abdulkareem

• Caleb Olubolade

The following voice from The Recording was subjected to a Forensic Voice Frequency Comparison against a known sample and was found to match to an 80% degree of certainty:

• Senator Musiliu Obanikoro

VERACITY

• Gov. Avo Favose was being truthful when he said:

…there is no vehicle that left this place without that sticker.

• A person identified as Obanikoro with 80% of certainty was judged to be completely truthful when he said to a person identified as Abdul Kareem: If am a happy man tomorrow night, the sky is your limit, and at the end of the day if am unhappy…I am not here for tea party, am on a special assignment by the president.”

• A person identified as Abdulkareem with a 98% degree of certainty said: “I was the one who created road blocks, I was the officer on ground sir.”)

DETAILS

The primary sample provided to Guardian Consulting is identified as “The Recording” for filing purposes.

The client provided these known samples:

Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro www.youtube.com/watch?

v=bO2SyPkk52w

METHODOLOGY

Starting with provided sample, identified here as The Recording, voices were isolated and five voices were positively identified as uniquely identical through voice print analysis. One additional background voice fragment was isolated but no identification was made (N.B. It is possible that the additional voice came one of the five subjects but was distorted due to a recording or transmission glitch). The unidentified voice fragment was fleeting and did not make up a substantial part of the conversation.

The Forensic Voice System (“FVS”) measures including frequencies discernable by the human ear as well as others above and below human recognition. Patterns of the frequencies are entered into the FVS in which a Frequency Voice Print is then produced and displayed. The Voice Print is quantified for comparison.

The process was repeated with the provided known samples and Voice Prints were established for each of the five subjects.

Identical words were identified from The Recording and the known samples. Each of the identical words was printed. The prints were then compared leading to the following conclusion:

• Governor Ayo Fayose was found to match the public sample to a 98% or greater degree of scientific certainty.

• Senator Iyiola Omisore was found to match the public sample to a 98% or greater degree of scientific certainty.

• Honourable Abdulkareem was found to match the public sample to a 98% or greater degree of scientific certainty.

• Caleb Olubolade was found to match the public sample to a 98% or greater degree of scientific certainty. Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro was found to match the public sample to a 80% or greater degree of scientific certainty.

The prints were further analyzed for veracity. No substantive untruths were identified: 85% of the conversations were deemed to contain identifiable veracity to a 98% degree of certainty. The remaining 15% was identified as inconclusive. The findings are based on the samples supplied. We relied on public identification of the known samples.

Further analysis of the voice attributed to Sen. Musiliu Obanikoro may result in a higher degree of certainty, but quality of the original recording not the additional publicly available samples are the primary reason for this level of veracity being listed. Further analysis against the new samples will be completed on Monday December 1.

General: Chief never belief me…………… he said OC mopol should handle them, we did. Now we have nothing less than 500 vehicles, with specific instruction

Caleb Olubolade: Are your men carrying out instructions
Obanikoro: Let me tell you why your men are not carrying out instructions, why am saying your men are not carrying out instructions. We came in just now and we saw so many check points none of them stopped us. We had to be stopping and asking why they are not stopping us, and while we are doing that, a lot of vehicles….. We had military men in our convoy and police in our convoy, and yet we expected to stop and demand to know who is inside.
Caleb Olubolade : several arrests
Fayose : Me I don’t want to be in this meeting, I don’t want to be in this meeting…. No
Obanikoro: Mo like i ru nko ba yi ( i don’t like this kind of thing). Take it easy… hmmm…

That he’s (he referring to Fayose) been trying to meet you that you have always been giving excuses
General: I understand His Excellency problem. ….. it’s not because you are here sir. In fact if I start crying now….. No no no….wait! Wait! Wait! … Do I know you? We met yesterday!….. The only person that can tell you the truth is Chief disu, the truth… In fact I handed over…. 5 hours he was with me in the field, and he’s still in the field up till now.
Do you understand?
Obanikoro: Can you excuse us.
General: The problem we are having is that they should control it…..
Hon AbdulKareem: When you are there, how many people did you take from this things
ObaniKoro : (Clarification) That were arrested?
General: Including the chairman? The governor called me and said……
Caleb Olubolade : But they said that issue of the chairman….. Because they just called me from (koro cuts in “you know what I want you to do now” )…. am coming…. the issue of the chairman of “oye local government”. They just called us now that you have done very well when the man was arrested in “Ifaki” but, that you brought him, arrested him that he was thoroughly beaten, and after sometimes u said u found gun…. (General cuts in “it’s the police inspector”) but they have withdrawn all the police orderly of all this local government……..
General: As of this afternoon we still had the Governor. Like this afternoon, we still going for this something…. there is … like yesterday he still called me. “Chief uba” does not belief have not compromise even you! Those are his emails’ know his problem, the pressure is high (Koro cuts in “Absolutely and failure is not an option”).
Caleb Olubolade: We must not even fail in this…. because we have the people (Unidentified Hausa man cuts in “oga sir!”)
General: No. No wait! You know who is pushing our principal; it’s all this people outside.
Caleb Olubolade: Another thing, General relax sit down. You are a soldier man, you are working for us. You have more shock absorber than we bloody civilian. Forget about that there are something’s that are not clear to us. One – that your boys are dis-arming even the police. (General “are the police for us? Yes now! Yes now!”)
ObaniKoro: He must know that. Let him explain himself please
General: you see the problem, once u are doing this thing you’ll understand. You have spend a lot of resources I must confess. As at this afternoon, the vehicle that have left this emmmmm… is up to one hundred and forty (140), in segment. Chief ehn…… please, came out with two (2)set of people unknown to them. They don’t know themself am not the one that divide them o. He said ok, you go here, you go there. He now brought the list they now sat down and said. What of this one we have strike force they just entered into the force. We can’t start arresting in the afternoon.(koro cuts in “is in the night”) in fact because of pressure, this chairman when he was beaten, he said they should bring him here. Unknown to me that he has even called SS director because he had been…… myself the AIG, the police all of us work together today and we decided today that by 6 o’clock they block the road. He’s own men he put them under OC mobile who
divided them and we inserted soldiers civil defence army and even NDLEA, and oga told them that is the OC Mobile that is ……. (koro cuts in “duro nor” wait!)
ObaniKoro : I don’t want to keep you here more than necessary, because we are not alone in this thing, we have to be seen to be fair, even if we have a direction that tomorrow we want to achieve. Your excellency, we are here because of you, and it is you I want to please. Momoh is here before you let us give him an assignment (fayose cut in “let me)
Fayose: This brigadier general I was governor of this state 12 years ago, you would probably be a captain or a major, but we give God all the glory. When you talk to this man he would argue from morning to night. What we want to eat does not allow us to know our right. Number two, my younger brother retired in the army as brigadier general, when you explain to this man, its argument, argument, argument. Today, we met and agreed on how to work, myself, Omisore and all the head. We agreed on a strategy to use, and the nine (9) that would join us and all you expect me to do, I have done. Before this incident happened even as at Tuesday, our member are being matcheted and treated like nobody, of late sir, have been calling you for the past three hours, to tell you that “Bimbo Daramola” is doing rally in his home town, and they are brandishing gun, what does it take you to make this arrest since sir? number two (2) I was the one who called you to tell you
that they have arrested a par…. Arise gave me that information, because its was in front of Arise’s place. Fayemi was going on with 27 car convoy; I was the one who called you that they arrested “Fayemi” council chairman with gun, by and large. “Kabiyesi Okemesi” and “Akin omole” MD of NAS before, calling that our community is flooded. (koro cut in ” are you taking note, I need you to take note” person 1: yes sir!”).
Honourable AbdulKareem (comes in) :They are the ones, there this thing in “Ikere Ekiti” there is breakdown of everything “o ti ju bi fun awon omo onike” look this is a very serious situation (Caleb Olubolade cuts in “awon olopa?) Sitting down with this man would mess this election up for you. (koro cuts in “no no no”).
Koro: Who dis-arm who? Why were they dis-armed?
Caleb Olubolade: listen koro, I was asking you one question one time. (Senator Omisore cuts in “they have collected money. The police now that are working, they are dis-arming them too.”) I asked one question from you, why was our police men dis-armed, you now answer are they working with us? I want you to continue from that place. Its means you are the one giving them info
General: Yes! You know why I said so? It’s a very simple question; if… you know when I saw Chief, Chris Uba I was so happy, because he came. The people that are on the field now are people we briefed, not only soldiers, not only soldiers, SF were there now any vehicle you see now we have….. a Hilux carry about 8 men its mix together. You don’t know the directives, you don’t know the situation they found those police men. The vehicle that left now, under “OC Mopol” from my own with Chris Uba in charge and myself and three of us, it’s almost 140.
ObaniKoro: You know what, wait! we cannot keep this man here indefinitely, we can’t keep him here indefinitely. He has said there is a team based on your instruction that is going round now (fayose cuts in “can’t you let me talk, how can he say that, can you let me talk am not a small boy!”).
Fayose: we agreed in Abuja on the modalities to work, we agreed on a sticker. That any vehicle you see that sticker, you allow that sticker. That sticker is on those vehicles his own was sent to him, mine was sent to me. The one by SSS was given to me to give to them there is no vehicle that left this place without that sticker. The people you just disharmed had that sticker clear and clean. Today they went to “efon” they carry all the…..
Where we are supposing to be collating, the thing INEC gave to us, soft copies we now printed and everything, because they see INEC thing on top of it, why is my contact man not with them, i said my contact man would be sitting in the check point permanently. i convince this man to leave this people, they were said to sit in the sun. they packed all the computers, its took me more than 2 hours to get this man to release this people. we have been subjected to serious embarrassment, (Caleb Olubolade cuts in ” then what we have been told is that the army have been compromised”) they have been compromise.
They are now dis-arming police too that want to work, in my local government, my own local government the same thing. today, they were sharing money in the government house, i called them, people in the government house who loves us were taking pictures how they were putting money in envelopes, i called them, did everything, instead its our own rebel that is arrested co-incidentally, it’s the money i wanted to go and give to him.
(General cuts in “your excellency, have you finished sir?”)This is un-becoming….
General: Governor house yesterday, we were together, (koro cuts in, we have a challenge on our hands, how do we resolve this challenge? I am here, the governor is here, when we call you, we want action, it’s should not take 2 hours to get action”)
Koro: we have a challenge on our hands, how do we resolve this challenge? I am here, the governor is here, when we call you, we want action, it’s should not take 2 hours to get action, the governor said he called you, somebody was detained for over 2 hours, i want to know who asked to be dis-harming those people.
General: Test my integrity; was I in your local government yesterday? (Un-identified Hausa Man: yes sir, general: what did i tell you?)
Un-identified Hausa man: sir, the commander was there, he gave us contact and he directed that only those contacts we should contact to, any other person, we should not listen to. (fayose cuts in ” the contact was with you this afternoon? The contact was with you “owoeye standing by you”)
Fayose : The contact was with you this afternoon owoye, the contact was standing by you, and you are still questioning me. The contacts owoeye was telling you on the other line, that that the man is with you, 30 – 40 minutes after, they were still kept there. you now told me that i expect contact, is it too much? That in 24hrs, that the contact cannot stay with eehhh.. That the contact cannot stay like that (general cuts in “you are misinterpreting all this” un-identified Hausa man cuts in “sir! sir, the commander said that we must deliver by all means, and that’s the directives they gave to us (koro cuts in ” if you dont work with who you are supposed to work with……. its becomes a credibility to us.”)
Fayose: Excuse sir, I told Chief Uba, that am …… that he should send me some soldiers that should go with me, because of a long stage, this one came i told him that where is he, he said he cannot come inside. did you not tell me that? oya talk now ? (koro cuts in ” that he was reluctant to come inside”) i said well, i would not go and meet him outside ooo. Invariably, he came inside, i said sit down. i now called him, i said what instruction did you give to your guy? what instruction did you give to your guy? (general talks ” which instruction did i give to you when you are coming ?” un-identified Hausa man answers “you said that i should come, when his excellency is going home, i should escort him, and any other thing he needs tomorrow during the election, we should provide it, that’s all!”) if he want to spoil it, let him tie his head, because we are going to wage war against him. The war is eminent. i was in my house, “chief of
army staff” call me, and told me he has briefed him, and gave me his number because i never met him before. He told me, you are in safe hands; he would perform, and if you have any issues, call me. He told me that i have made it clear to him that i am Jonathan for this election. Chief of army staff told me, have never met him before in my life. He only called me with the instruction from the villa. Each time we explain this this to this man, he porous, everything is porous.
Caleb Olubolade: anyway, i don’t want us to….. where we are now general, we held so many meetings, that i don’t belief we should be in this situation now. The idea of having headship, is that everybody should work together. under no circumstances what so ever is for anyone to be dis-armed number one. number 2 is that, (general cuts in: excuse me sir this dis-harming of a thing, is it the thing that led to eemmmh…. am a commander (koro cuts in : wait, the guy just left with the lady, the team that left here as we are being told, are being dis-armed, that’s why we are worried.
Fayose: we even said this stickers must not be shared until its 4 o’clock.( general cuts in: when did we share the stickers? un- identified Hausa man answered: by 16:00hrs”) the guys that just left just called that the soldiers have dis-harmed us, that they were as good as beating us. I asked did they not see the stickers, they said the stickers are there. we showed them (general cuts in: did i not tell you about stickers yesterday? “)
Un-identified Hausa man : you did sir.
General: what did i tell you?
Un-identified Hausa man : that any vehicle carrying the stickers, that we should be left.
(Caleb Olubolade cuts in: are your boys carrying out your instructions? that was exactly what i asked you?
General: i have 5 sections, i took my time yesterday (honourable AbdulKareem cuts in:” se ko se pe awon people yi lo gba owo lo wo awon people yi?”)
Fayose: nko to won lo se ni yen!o ti wan se ni yen o!
Honourable AbdulKareem: you can’t do this. i have a stake in this. We are all stake holders. (Everyone in the room echoes, we are all stake holders”)
Fayose: We have to call the president and let him know. This people are doing somethings.they would not even serve police that wants to help us, we can’t continue like this. (general cuts in ” are you working with a different police?”)
Honourable AbdulKareem: Momoh, you know me now, you are the one from kogi nah, are you not the one from kogi, (general cuts in ” am a stake holder is more in my heart than you. Don’t talk to me anyhow please, dont talk to me anyhow.”) Am not talking to you anyhow to, don’t talk to me anyhow too, i won’t take it from you. whom am are you talking to, am an honourable member of the national assembly, do you know you are insulting me too? (koro cuts in ” sit down general, sit down please”) who are you that you say am insulting you, if am in the military, i would be a brigadier or general today. so what are you saying, am a member of the national assembly. (koro cuts in: i don’t like all this embarrassment, we all left our home to come here, we are here for the same thing. i don’t like the way the honourable is talking, i asked him to come here, if you are a member of the national assembly so, i was once a senator too. show some respect.”)
Koro: i won’t say a word, i would allow you to talk, but i want to sound a note of warning.
This man, we cannot keep him here indefinitely. let us make progress, give him instructions on what we want him to do, let him go and do it, let us monitor him, and make sure those things are done, cause as he’s seated here, other people are monitoring his movement (person 2 “God bless you sir”) give him instructions. (Person 4 cuts in “let me just say something”) Let the senator land.
Senator Omisore: i would just say that we don’t have to argue this much, we have seen some lapses yes, its just this evening. there is nothing happening now that we cannot contain before tomorrow morning, there is nothing.so ba mi so fun general, we can be together on this matter. your boys can be overzealous and do things that are not sent, (koro cuts in “and some can be compromise too.”) yes! What am saying momoh is that, at this level, any information that you hear from us, we are on ground here, move swiftly to those information, and act number one. Instead of you defending them even blindly. You go and find out what is really happening there. We have areas that are faulty areas, look into it, “ikere”, “ilawe”. Let them confirm what is happening there. My friend major is looking to “okemesi” himself.
Koro: Do you have a special team?
General: there are about 6 special team. ( koro cuts in” your own team”) i have one.
“Strike force” i have almost forty soldiers after deployment.
Koro : the idea of calling you, and not getting reactions we have to stop that now, you must bring that to an end. When we call you, within the next 5 – 10 minutes, we need to know what has been done about it, and we want to get the full feedback on what has been done. all those that has been dis-armed, tell your men they must release them.
(person 4 cuts in “they don’t dis-armed anyone again”) and then put 2 or 3 of your men in charge of that. That before anybody is dis-armed; they call that person for clearance.
That person would call in, and if they say they should not, nobody is dis-armed. If he say that they should go ahead, nobody know them, go ahead and dis-armed them. Then that daramola i want him picked up in the morning, (person 4 cuts in: “no in the night, tonight!
daramola and commissioner for finance”) daramola is in which local govt.
General: sir, we have done a lot of arrest.me and oga chris. (person 4 cuts in : i know”)
Koro: i understand.
General: what am saying is that, it’s the pressure.
