(1) Cases being filed by Atiku and PDP in various courts in Abuja, Lagos and PH to stop INEC from declaring the results of the elections this morning.
(2) A judge of the federal high court in Adamawa, related to M Z Anka (Gen Aliyu Gusau’s pawn) is the one coordinating with Nyesom Wike and Mike Ozekhome in reaching out to judges.
(3) It appears that there is now a rift in the ‘generals’ camp’ with Obasanjo and Abdussalaami Abubakar counseling that Atiku accepts defeat and move on. In their view, the election was largely peaceful and credible – and PDP lost clearly.
(3) The US Embassy is said to be waiting for more arranged condemnations of the elections by CSOs and election observers, and the filing of the various court cases before kicking off what Osita Chidoka excitedly refers to as ‘the diplomatic coup’ either Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
(4) Election observers – both domestic and international/ should be encouraged to announce their preliminary verdict on the peaceful and credible nature of the elections today. Focus should be on ECOWAS, AU and Commonwealth as others are likely to be influenced by the position of the US Embassy.
(5) INEC should no longer delay the announcement of the results as it would appear timed to give PDP room to create judicial confusion.
