Photo: NAN Presidential poll: Atiku releases ‘evidence’ of election result from INEC website P RESIDENTIAL candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has insisted the result from the server of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, shows that he defeated President Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential election. In his submission to the presidential election tribunal, the former vice president gave the “unique MAC address and Microsoft product ID of the INEC server,” from where the results were obtained. According to the result declared by INEC from the 36 states and FCT, Buhari polled 15,191,847, while Atiku came second with 11,262,978 votes. But in his petition submitted at the tribunal, the PDP candidate claimed he garnered a total of 18,356,732 votes to defeat Buhari, who, according to him, polled 16,741,430 votes. INEC, in response, said the results being paraded by Abubakar are fabricated and not from its website. But in their response to the INEC’s submission, a copy of which was obtained by The Cable, Abubakar and PDP said address of the server from which the results were obtained are unique to INEC. They said: “The servers from which the said figures were derived belong to the first respondent (INEC). The figures and votes were transmitted to the first respondent’s Presidential Result’s Server 1 and thereafter aggregated in INEC_PRES_RSLT_SRV2019, whose Physical Address or unique Mac Address is 94- 57-A5-DC-64-B9 with Microsoft Product ID 00252- 7000000000-AA535. The above descriptions are unique to the 1st respondent’s server. “There is no conjecture in the votes and scores in the table pleaded by the petitioners. The figures are factual. Spokesperson for the 2nd respondent’s Campaign Organisation openly admitted that the data in question was in the first respondent’s server when he wrote and submitted a petition to the Inspector General of Police and Director General of Department of State Services, DSS, asking the security agencies to investigate the 2nd petitioner herein for allegedly hacking into the server of the 1st respondent and obtaining the data in question. “Specifically, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, the spokesperson of the 2nd respondent, claimed in the said petition that it was the first petitioner who smuggled the data into the server.” Atiku and PDP also alleged the INEC chairman “committed grave errors in the final collation exercise” for the election by “falsely crediting” some persons with political parties, including “Okotie Christopher, Reverend Dr. Onwubuya and Ojinika Jeff Chinze. “The grave errors referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 above were under the hands and signature of the first respondent’s chairman (who was also the Returning Officer) in the conduct of the final collation of the results of the presidential election. “The petitioners state that the final results as declared by the first respondent are those that were transmitted online to the website of the first respondent (www inecnigeria.org).” Interpol lauds EFCC’s anti-graft efforts •Determines to partner the agency By Soni Daniel S ECRETARY- GENERAL of INTERPOL, Jurgen Stock, has commended the zeal and concerted efforts of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in ridding Nigeria of all forms of economic crime. “Working with EFCC will help in building a strong network in the fight against corruption across the globe,” he said. Stock who made the remarks during a visit to EFCC Headquarters, Jabi, Abuja, yesterday, was received by acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu. According to Stock, “the fight against corruption will help in the fight against terrorism as the main source of terrorism financing comes from corruption.” Emphasizing the need for collaboration between international law enforcement agencies in the fight against corruption, he stressed that Interpol was establishing a link with the EFCC in achieving the mandate of the anti-graft agency. On his part, Magu, who expressed delight at the visit, commended Stock for finding time out of his busy schedule as the Secretary General of Interpol, to visit the EFCC. Magu stressed that corruption had become an organised crime in Nigeria, and it needed a concerted effort within and outside of the country, to combat it. “EFCC and Nigerians in general are delighted with the visit by the Interpol, and this visit gives the Commission hope in partnering Interpol,” he said. He further gave assurances that the EFCC will remain unrelenting and resolute in its fight against corruption. “The EFCC deals in partnership with other countries in order to address the issue of terrorism financing,” he said. He further highlighted the importance of exchange of information, stressing that it was key to winning the fight against corruption, money laundering and terrorism financing. “Other countries need to support EFCC in achieving our goal of ensuring the repatriation of funds stashed out of the country by corrupt people,” he said. The delegation from the Interpol was taken on a tour of the new EFCC Head Office Complex. FCTA demolishes structures within DAAR premises •Why we demolished AIT structures— FCTA By Henry Umoru ABUJA— THE Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, yesterday, demolished some structures on the premises of Daar Communications, owners of Africa Independent Television, AIT, in the nation’s capital city, Abuja. The structures removed by the FCTA were the security office, the gate and a section of the fence on the premises that was said to have hitherto encroached on other people’s property and blocked their access in Asokoro District, Abuja. According to Director, Department of Development Control, Anglican Communion warns priests, Laity against homosexuality By Chimaobi Nwaiwu N NEWI—CHURCH of Nigeria Anglican Communion Diocese of Mbamili, Anambra State, has read the riot act to priests and members of the laity who may involved in homosexuality, saying anyone caught in the act will be shown the way out of the diocese. This is contained in a Presidential Address/ Bishop’s Charge, delivered to the 3rd Session of the 3rd Synod, Diocese of Mbamili, read by Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Henry Okeke, at the Cathedral Church of St Michael, Umuikwu Anam, Anambra West Local Government Anambra State. The diocese through its bishop, Rt. Rev. Okeke, said it had zero tolerance for any kind homosexuality and practices that are against Anglican Church, warning that any priest or member of the Laity caught in the act will be dismissed within 24 hours without any deliberation. He said: “Homosexuality is a very serious global war that must be won by Anglicans, not just in the church but in the secular world because some people who call themselves children of God are beginning to do, ordinarily and humanly speaking, things that should not be done. “Homosexuality is an aberration, it is anti Muktar Galadima, the parcel of land belonging to AIT was only 18 hectres, adding that the media outfit had just submitted application for building approval, which the department was still processing, meaning any development on the land remained a violation of development control rules. Refuting insinuations that the removal was politically motivated, Galadima said the matter dates back to about 2007 and the “precast fence and gate house, which blocked other citizens’ access, were removed.” Addressing newsmen, yesterday, Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council, AMMC, of the FCTA, cultural and anti scriptural, and there is no way you can link it to God's plan for man. It is turning upside down the plan of God for man, that is why the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion is at the forefront of the fight and an organisation in the Anglican Church, called the Global Anglican Future Conference, GAFCON, is championing the fight to make sure that the Western church does not bring in this monster into our religious system. “And so for us in the Diocese of Mbamili, Anambra State, it is a very serious fight, and that is why we have told our clergy men that any one that attempts it, we will do our best to be pastoral at heart, but the person must leave, it shows he is not supposed to be a pastor. “That is why we are saying it here at the synod and some other dioceses in the Anglican Communion, that we are also not taking the aberration lightly. They are taking the same steps because we condemn it wholly and entirely, homosexuality is an enemy of God and the church. “We have identified one here in this diocese and we have dealt with it on its merit by showing the priest the way out, we sent him packing without waste of time, and other have learnt a lot of lessons from that incident.” Umar Shuaibu, who supervised the removal of the alleged illegal structures, said the owners of the television outfit illegally encroached on plots of land belonging to other Nigerians. According to him, the management of AIT had refused to abide by the mutual agreement reached with them, FCT administration and officials from Department of Development Control, DDC, of the AMMC, adding that after the removal of the illegal structures, the media outfit later expanded it without the approval of FCT administration.
