    @Ola…. That is so true . However it is ample evidence to indicate something is going on and good start for investigations . If any member of the party discussing here can be identified without denial then the contents are credible and tenable

    Voice can be recorded and sound exactly. U cant justify an audio voice nowadays, technology is beyond what u could imaging.

    The release of this tape is very timely. INEC needs to wake up to ensure we really have a transparent election. We do not need soldiers for electoral duties. Let’s mobilise the soldiers to the North east to go and battle Boko Haram, instead of using soldiers to harass our people.

    Really? If it were in a sane clime, all the people in that gathering would be picked up one by one, or betterstill, they even resign and report themselves to the security agencies. But unfortunately, this is Nigeria, the most backward country in the world!
