PRESIDENTIAL candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr. PETER OBI, weekend explained why servers belonging to Independent National Electoral  Commission, INEC, failed to work during the 2023 Presidential Election.


According to him, the ‘establishment of criminality’ made the INEC servers not to work during the last general elections.
Obi stated this while addressing the issues of the 2023 elections, including the IREV servers, in Canada at the weekend.
He, however, urged people to intensify engagement with all stakeholders to make the system work.

The former Anambra State governor explained that Amazon testified there were no glitches recorded globally on the day of the presidential election.

His words: “Where did we go wrong in the last election? We didn’t go wrong anywhere. We did the right things.

“But as I can always tell people: when you bring a change, you fight all those who live off the old order. They don’t go away; they gang up. And don’t think it’s a straight race to remove an establishment.

“It’s a long-distance journey anywhere in the world. Go and check anywhere, whether you are looking at what happened in India, with Mandela in South Africa, or in America. No change has happened overnight, it takes time.

“I urge all of you, if you want change, we have just begun. We just have to continue from where we are.
“Yes, there might be one or two things we will correct, those things we will correct. I assure you we are correcting them without naming them. It’s not going to be easy.

“The INEC server was the same as the establishment. The server would not work because it was the establishment that made it so it wouldn’t work. It’s ours to continue to say that it would work. But there was no glitch.

“Amazon came and said there was no glitch. Amazon glitch is noticed globally – it’s recorded globally. And at that period, we brought down an Amazon person who said this is the number of glitches we have had since inception.

“There was none that it reported that day. We know it didn’t occur. It was the glitch of the establishment criminality that was in the system. And we must one day make it work.”

FA asks Wenger to explain comments

The Football Association on Thursday asked Arsene Wenger to clarify remarks about penalties given against his side made before and after Arsenal's Premier League game with Chelsea. Wenger complained about two spot-kick decisions given against the Gunners, the first awarded to West Brom on Sunday and the second given to Chelsea on Wednesday. Both matches ended as draws and Wenger now has until 1800 GMT on Tuesday to respond. Wenger has said he intends to appeal a separate FA charge relating to his behaviour after last weekend's 1-1 draw with West Brom, when Arsenal defender Calum Chambers was penalised by Mike Dean for a handball. Arsenal conceded another late penalty against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, as Eden Hazard went down following a challenge from Hector Bellerin. The game finished 2-2. Wenger said before the game against Chelsea: "I must say what is more frustrating for me is that it happened many times this season – at Stoke, at Wat...
