US, Others to Monitor Presidential Election with Spy Satellites
*As NJC holds emergency meeting Tuesday over Onnoghen’s removal
The presidential election is to be monitored throughout the country by spy satellites to be introduced by the United States and other western powers.
This was disclosed by the Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who said this was to ensure that the election is not rigged.
Cautioning President Muhammadu Buhari and All Progressives Congress, APC, against any plan to rig the election, Atiku also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, military, police and other security agencies to ensure that the election is free and fair without allowing the ruling party any chance for manipulation.
Atiku in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shaibu while reacting to the removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, said that Buhari’s cabal is bitter about the statement from the US, the British and the EU and other world powers.
He said, “Buhari’s cabal is unhappy with the statements from the US, the British and the EU because they know that these world powers have agreed to re-route their latest and most technologically sophisticated spy sattelites, including NAOL-47 satellite to provide comprehensive coverage over Nigeria on February 16. The photographs these satellites will deliver cannot only show someone reading a newspaper but also which newspaper they are reading.”
“The truth is that, there is no country in the world where a president with this appalling record could ever be re-elected. Over 100 million Nigerians cannot afford even one decent meal a day, yet their president is seeking re-election. The world powers as well as Nigerians also have intelligence that Buhari will decisively lose the election since the people are angry because they are hungry and have no jobs.
“There is no level of rigging that this vile government could ever do to overturn the millions of Nigerians who will turn up at the polls to vote him out. We ask our dearest young population who got a job under Buhari in the last four years, to vote for Buhari. “But all those who lost their jobs and whose relations lost their jobs and businesses to his maladministration to please come out in large numbers to elect Atiku Abubabar who is a harbinger of job creation.”
Meanwhile, the National Judicial Council has fixed an emergency meeting for Tuesday.
The meeting is to discuss developments, particularly in the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, by President Muhammadu Buhari last week.
