 All right, I will still have more conversation concerning the impact of the Naira crunch and of course the economy or economic activities on the elections, but we'll go straight now to River State. Now we have standing by Naku Birabi, House of Rebs candidate, a court party in River State who was disenfranchised due to lack of House of Rebs ballot papers. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much. All right. All right. Yes, we can hear you loud and clear. Tell us exactly what happened at your ward. Well, both local governments actually, there was a litany of election irregularities this morning when we, when the people of Kanago-Kanago federal constituency turned up to vote. We can actually say that their mandate has been stolen from them, partly based on, I would like to think, in competence rather than culpability. First of all, the materials turned up late. I'm sure that's a power for the cause around the country. It's a new system. INEC is getting used to, you know, we are all getting used to this new system. However, there were significant parts of the process that were in direct contravention with what INEC had stipulated. There were units in certain wards across the local governments where results sheets weren't delivered to the polling units. There were certain units that didn't have ballot papers for some candidates for the Senate race and the House of Representatives race. There were units where there were no materials at all, telling them, obviously, there were beva's failures as well. So it truncated the process in a way that wasn't the positive for this new electoral, you know, dispensation that we are trying to achieve in Nigeria. We were all assured that this was a process that would increase the efficacy of our voting. It would assure us of the veracity of the vote in terms of numbers of people accredited matching ballot papers. However, I can say, categorically, that that was not the case, particularly in the local government, where results were taken from the units before the unit results were even announced and uploaded. And they were taken to somewhere else that was in the coalition center. And there's evidence, I do have evidence, of people rewriting the results. Okay, so far, with all that you have said so far and all the irregularities, how far have you gone escalating it to the electoral long path? Well, the initial reports were lodged with the EOs, well, at least the EO in one of the local governments, Kana Luka government. I went personally and lodged that myself. I mean, there were units, there were the whole wards in Kana, at least the ward in Kana Luka government, where the electoral materials were sent to the wrong destination. And there was nothing done to reverse that. And as a result, voting did not happen in the whole ward, Banga Ward 7. So there were all sorts of issues around that. There were no results sheets for all the polling units in a ward 6 in Kana Luka government. So throughout the day, I had recorded all these irregularities. And then at some point during the day, submitted a formal request for investigation and resolution to the EO at Kana Luka government. On the Gokana side, none of this came to light until voting was done. And the results were hijacked from the polling units and delivered to a different destination, a different location, not the Collation Center. So I'm just wondering what exactly they are going to post as the results for these units and these wards, when we all know, everyone knows that results were not declared at the polling unit as they should have been. And the results were uploaded on the Bevers machine as they should have been at the polling units. All right, aside from this particular irregularity that you have mentioned, over state and of course local government and wards, we have had reports of un-pocket of violence and late-time arrival of materials at some polling unit. Would you say it was the same situation in your area? Well, voting in Gokana was fairly free and fair. I think it was relatively free and fair. I think that there was broad agreement that any nefarious activity couldn't really take place during the actual voting process. And it would have been difficult for them to achieve that in Gokana because of the method of voting in Gokana, it's quite unique. But it was very easy for them to wait for the votes to be cast and then just make a way with the mandate of the people. In Gokana local government, there were reports of sporadic shooting in certain parts of the local government, World 3, Yoku. There was shooting there and they made off with the items. There were pockets of violence right across and threats of violence right across the Constitution. I don't know about the state because I was concentrating on my Constitution. So yes, there was violence, perhaps not as much as it used to be in the past. But I can say that there was definitely intimidation across the board. All right, thanks for the update that you've given us. We'll follow that particular development and see how I-NEC responds towards that. We have been speaking with Nakobirabi, a court candidate for the House of Representatives in River State, Gokana, to be precise. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. All right, there's still ballots 2023 and we still have our guests. We've been looking at the economic impact on elections in Nigeria. But we'll take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll have some more discussions while you stay with us.
