2027 election: How they plan to rig – PDP spokesman, Ememobong reveals
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ini Ememobong, has disclosed how some people have planned to rig the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

During an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, Ememobong said with collusion with some INEC staff, they are going to print the serial number of election results, EC8A, and use the same serialised number.

He said in the last election, only 26% of people who registered to vote, actually voted.

He said, going to vote is an expression of faith or disbelief in the system.

“Why people are afraid of electronic transmission of election results is that with collusion with some people in INEC, they are going to print the serial number of election result, EC8A, and they are going to use the same serialised number.

“So you are going to find two result sheets. They call the person at the polling unit and ask for the total number of accreditation because BVAS’ accreditation will capture the total number, but because it’s manual voting, they cannot sort the votes.

“So, they will take that accreditation digit and fill in a form in their houses. Some of them have had histories of putting result sheet in boxes in their houses and trying to submit it. So that is what is going to happen,” he said.
