The Arewa TikTok Media Influencers has endorsed the Presidential Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar in the February 25 election.
In a press conference in Kano on Sunday, chairman of the group, Sharfaddeen Bature, said the decision of the TikTokers to support Mr Abubakar was owing to the fact that he is the best to fix Nigeria’s problems.
According to him, the group had particularly assessed the situation of Northern Nigeria and found that since 2015, the All Progressives Congress, APC government had failed woefully.
“Poverty, unemployment, inflation exacerbated by unreasonable and unrealistic regimes of economic and financial policies are ravaging communities and threatening our very survival as a nation.
“With this observation, it is clear that the government we voted has failed in every sphere, including in the vital task of providing security of lives and property of the citizens.
“Based on this and other factors, Arewa TT Media Influencers today declares total support for the Atiku Abubakar presidential bid and shall undertake to deploy all available resources to working for his victory,” Mr Bature declared.
He added that the group has over 100 members in which a member has over 5.5 million followers who could influence others to vote for the former vice president.
According to him, the least followership of their members is more than 100,000, adding that even with that number of followers, a member could garner over 3 million views of a content.
“With this statistics, I assure you that we can make great impact in mobilising support for Atiku,” he added.

“A president must be somebody who is upright and that is the starting point, then it goes to your family goes to your family, your friends and people around you.
“As long as you are not credible, as long as your hands are soiled ,you don’t even have the moral right to say anything because all civil servant will take cue from you .
“In a situation where your resources is coming only halfway and outlet is just there open for people in the National Assembly, civil service and public service people to take money that is most unfortunate and somebody has to stop it.

2023/02/13

Election will not hold in 240 polling units – INEC says 12 days to #Nigeriadecides2023
2023/02/13
12 days to the general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has said that election will not hold in 240 polling units across 28 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, stated this during a meeting with political parties on Monday.
Yakubu stated that no voters indicated interest to transfer to those units them during the last Continuous Voter Registration due to insecurity, hence the total polling units for elections is now 176,606.
He noted that the Commission would make a comprehensive list of these polling units.
The INEC Chairman explained, “Let me therefore start with the issue of polling units. You may recall that in 2021, with your support and that of other critical stakeholders, the Commission successfully expanded voter access to polling units 25 years after the last delimitation exercise in 1996. Consequently, the number of polling units increased from 119,973 to the current figure of 176,846.
“At previous meetings, we also briefed you on our efforts to redistribute voters to the polling units in order to avoid the congestion that made voting cumbersome in many of them nationwide. This requires the redistribution of voters to new polling units in proximate locations. Where they are separated by distance, this must be done after consultation with the voters. This has been done by our State offices nationwide.
“However, there are 240 polling units without registered voters spread across 28 states and the FCT. They range from one polling unit to 12 polling units in each state and the FCT, except Taraba and Imo states with 34 and 38 polling units respectively. No new registrants chose the polling units and no voters indicated interest to transfer to them during the last Continuous Voter Registration, mainly for security reasons. This means that no elections will hold in these polling units.
“In our avowed commitment to transparency, the Commission is making available to Nigerians a comprehensive list of these polling units by name, code number and their locations by state, local government and registration Area. With this development, the number of polling units where elections will hold nationwide on February 25, 2023 and March 11, 2023 is now 176,606. Hard copies of the list are included in your folders for this meeting. Above all, Nigerians deserve the right to know the locations of these polling units. Accordingly, the soft copy of the list has been uploaded to our website and social media platforms for public information and guidance. ”
Yakubu added that observations from the just concluded mock exercise showed that registered voters could not identify their polling units, advising voters to confirm the locations of their polling units through a dedicated portal on our website.
He said “Closely related to the distribution of voters is the identification of polling units. From the feedback we received from our officials and accredited observers following the recent nationwide mock accreditation using the BVAS, it is clear that some voters could not easily identify their polling units. This should not happen on election day. Consequently, the Commission is advising voters to confirm the locations of their polling units through a dedicated portal on our website.
“In addition, all voters who have been assigned to new polling units will receive text messages from the Commission indicating their polling units. We have also compiled the register of such voters and our state offices will give it wide publicity, especially for those who may not have provided their telephone numbers during voter registration or those whose numbers may have changed. Voters can locate and confirm their polling units before election day by sending a regular text or WhatsApp message to a dedicated telephone number. Details of the simple procedure will be uploaded to our social media platforms shortly.
“As you are already aware, we have less than two weeks to the 2023 general election. The Commission is finalising the issuance of 1,642,386 identification tags for the Polling and Collation Agents nominated by the 18 political parties made up of 1,574,301 Polling Agents and 68,085 Collation Agents. I urge the Chairmen and leaders of political parties to ensure that only agents accredited by the Commission and wearing the correct identification tags appear at polling units and collation centres during elections. A situation where two or more agents claim to represent a political party, resulting in commotion at polling units or collation centres, is unacceptable. Only identification tags issued by the Commission will be recognised on election day and violators are liable to arrest and prosecution for impersonation.”
