Aftermath of Election

U.S.welcomes Nigeria polls, urges fraud claims probed
11:11 p.m. Mar 01, 1999 Eastern
WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - The United States welcomed Nigeria's
weekend presidential election but said on Monday that any claims of
vote irregularities should be investigated.

Nigeria's electoral commission declared General Olusegun Obasanjo
Nigeria's president-elect on Monday but the vote was immediately
challenged by his rival, Olu Falae, who cited reports of fraud and
called the election a farce.

Obasanjo took 18.7 million votes to Falae's more than 11 million votes
in Saturday's election, which aims to end 15 years of military rule in
Africa's most populous country.

``Nigeria's transition to civilian rule is one of the most significant
events to happen in Africa this year,'' said U.S.

National Security Council spokesman David Leavy.

``We certainly look forward to working with Nigeria as they undertake
this important step,'' he added. ``It's clear that a Nigeria that is
democratic and protects human and civilian rights can be an anchor for
the new Africa.''

White House spokesman Barry Toiv called the elections ``an important
step in the process of restoring civilian democratic government in
Nigeria, a process that will help return Nigeria to its place as a
leader in Africa.''

In a statement released late on Monday, he noted the allegations of
fraud and urged the Independent National Elections Commission to
investigate them, adding his hope that all political parties and their
supporters would work within the legal framework to pursue their
concerns.

Foreign observers, including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter,
questioned the election's results, saying there was a wide disparity
between the number of voters observed at the polling stations and the
results reported from several states.

Falae, a former finance minister, said he would challenge the
election's results based on reports of rigging from election observers
and the media.

Asked about the charges of fraud, Leavy replied: ``Any allegations of
vote irregularities should be looked into by the appropriate
authorities.''

Foreign acceptance of the election is vital for Nigeria, which hopes
to finally cast off its pariah status abroad and which needs external
funding to cushion the blow of a collapse in world oil prices.

The election's total vote count was several million higher than many
observers expected given the apparent low turnout.

Toiv said Nigeria's new government would face many challenges such as
creating accountable government; building support within the military
for civilian rule; protecting human rights and building the country's
economy.

Nigeria's Obasanjo Reaches Out To Rival
05:02 a.m. Mar 02, 1999 Eastern
By John Chiahemen

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian president-elect Olusegun Obasanjo Tuesday
urged his defeated rival, former finance minister Olu Falae, to accept
the outcome of a disputed weekend election and join him to revive the
West African nation.

``I expect him to be a sportsman. I will open my arms to welcome
him,'' Obasanjo told CNN television in an interview.

``There is a lot he can contribute because he had done that before
with me and I believe that he can still do that,'' said Obasanjo, who
is returning to the job he voluntarily gave up as a military ruler
when he restored democracy 20 years ago.

Falae was trounced in the poll meant to end 15 years of crippling
military rule but declared the election a farce and alleged massive
rigging by Obasanjo's Peoples Democratic Party.

He says he plans to challenge the results in court but has also called
for the establishment of a government of national unity drawn from all
of Nigeria's three political parties.

Falae, an ethnic Yoruba like Obasanjo, was promoted to the post of
permanent secretary, a top civil service position, during Obasanjo's
tenure as head of state from 1976-79.

After the euphoria of his landslide election win, Obasanjo's top
priority now is selecting a top-grade team to help realize his pledge
to halt Nigeria's economic slide, his aides said.

He is due to elaborate on his plans later Tuesday during his first
news conference since his victory at the polls.

Senior aides said Obasanjo planned to consult his party and political
associates who helped him, but take personal charge in selecting
people for what he considers are the core positions. ''There are
certain jobs (for) which he has certain people in mind (and over)
which he would rather not negotiate,'' said an aide who asked not to
be named. ``There are already some lists.''

Many Nigerians have voiced fears that rich and powerful Nigerians who
contributed heavily to Obasanjo's campaign and are prominent in his
inner circle could dictate the makeup of a cabinet without regard to
merit.

But aides said Obasanjo had demonstrated that his will could prevail
in such situations by his choice of Abubakar Atiku, a close ally of
his deputy when he was military ruler, as running mate over and above
party considerations.

Obasanjo told CNN: ``I was not put in power by a small group of
Nigerians. I was put in power by ordinary Nigerians, millions of those
ordinary Nigerians voted for me.

``So I will be the president of all Nigerians, big and small, young
and old, rich and poor and more of the poor rather than the rich
because the poor need to be helped (more) than the rich.''

He reiterated his determination to fight the endemic corruption that
has scared away foreign business from this nation of immense natural
resources.

Obasanjo is expected to appoint a transition committee later this week
to chart his immediate program before he takes over from military
ruler General Abdulsalami Abubakar on May 29.

Falae says he will challenge the election in court.

His allegations of rigging were strengthened by former U.S. President
Jimmy Carter's statement that cheating had been so serious he and his
Carter Center poll monitors would not be able to judge the outcome of
the election.

While acknowledging some irregularities, Obasanjo said he felt his
opponents would accept the result and ``join hands with all of us
because at this point in time that is what we need.''

Foreign acceptance of the election is vital for Nigeria, as it hopes
finally to cast off its image as a pariah state and get outside
funding to cushion the blow of an oil price collapse.

Obasanjo Faces Challenge To Nigeria Win
12:43 a.m. Mar 02, 1999 Eastern
By John Chiahemen

ABUJA, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigerian President-elect Olusegun Obasanjo
Monday faced a fresh challenge from his defeated rival Olu Falae, who
refused to accept the result of weekend elections marred by reports of
rigging.

Falae's allegations were strengthened by former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter's statement that cheating had been so serious he would not be
able to judge the outcome of the election.

``Constitutionally and legally and politically we will fight it every
inch of the way,'' Falae told Reuters Television.

Falae received 11.1 million votes compared to 18.7 million for
Obasanjo in the Saturday ballot to end a 15-year stretch of military
rule in Africa's most populous nation.

Obasanjo, 61, is due to take office on May 29, when Gen. Abdulsalami
Abubakar has pledged to step down, less than a year after the sudden
death of dictator Sani Abacha opened the door to Nigeria's latest
attempt at democracy.

``The stage has been set for the enthronement of a genuine democratic
order in Nigeria,'' said electoral commission chairman Ephraim Akpata,
who proclaimed Obasanjo the winner despite Falae's bid to stop the
result being announced.

Acknowledging some irregularities, Obasanjo -- a gritty old soldier
with a down-to-earth reputation -- said he believed his opponents
would accept the result and ``join hands with all of us because at
this point in time that is what we need.''

Foreign acceptance of the election is vital for Nigeria, hoping
finally to cast off its image as a pariah and needing outside funding
to cushion the blow of a collapse in oil prices.

``There was a wide disparity between the number of voters observed at
the polling stations and the final result that has been reported from
several states,'' said Carter, who jointly led a high-powered American
delegation.

``Regrettably, therefore it is not possible for us to make an accurate
judgement about the outcome of the presidential election,'' he said in
a message delivered after he left Abuja.

Nobody accused Abubakar's government of complicity in rigging in
observers' reports of malpractices which came from Falae's stronghold
in the southwest as well as Obasanjo's powerbases in the north,
southeast and Niger River delta.

``We understand the local and international monitors, including the
British and other EU monitors, have judged that the results reflect
the views of the Nigerian people,'' British Foreign Secretary Robin
Cook said in a statement.

The United States welcomed the election but said reports of cheating
should be investigated. South Africa applauded Nigeria's return to
democracy.

Politically volatile Nigeria's past attempts to establish democracy
have been characterized by massive poll-rigging, linked to the desire
of more than 200 ethnic groups to secure a place near the center.

Soldiers have used the confusion as an excuse to keep power for all
but 10 years since independence from Britain in 1960.

An attempt to restore democracy in 1993 only plunged Nigeria into
deeper crisis when the army annulled elections that tycoon Moshood
Abiola was about to win, leaving Abacha to seize power in the ensuing
chaos.

Abiola died in detention one month after Abacha.

Like Abiola, both Falae, 60, and Obasanjo are ethnic Yorubas from
southwestern Nigeria.

The election marks a shift of power to the largely Christian and
Animist south from the Hausa-speaking Muslim north which has dominated
political life in the country of 108 million people for decades.

Specific policies did not play an important part in campaigning, with
both Obasanjo and Falae promising to revitalize Nigeria after corrupt
and incompetent military rule which has left most Nigerians in poverty.

Nigeria's Falae is no Moshood Abiola
08:09 a.m. Mar 02, 1999 Eastern
By Dulue Mbachu

LAGOS, March 2 (Reuters) - Nigeria's ethnic Yorubas may feel cheated
after their presidential choice was beaten in disputed elections, but
Olu Falae's case is very different from that of Moshood Abiola which
triggered riots in 1993.

Former finance minister Falae has vowed to challenge results of
Saturday vote which showed him comprehensively beaten by former
military ruler Olusegun Obasanjo, also Yoruba, amid reports of massive
rigging in parts of the West African nation.

But Falae has not the support inside or outside Nigeria, the personal
charisma, the financial backing nor strength of claim to the
presidency that paralysed the southwest and threatened to tear Nigeria
apart after the 1993 vote was annulled.

Obasanjo is due to take office on May 29 to bring an end to a 15-year
stretch of military rule. Falae has until then to stop him. His main
option is to petition the election tribunal.

``Whatever Falae's objections, the results are fairly credible, and it
is unlikely he will win popular support in any move that might stop
the military's return to the barracks,'' political commentator Abiodun
Aremu, himself a Yoruba, told Reuters.

Reports of rigging came from Falae's southwestern heartland as well as
the rest of the country of 108 million people.

In contrast to 1993, there were a few isolated incidents reported in
Lagos on Sunday night after it became clear that Falae had lost the
presidential election, but it was unclear whether they were protests
or just local thugs on the rampage.

After the army annulled the 1993 vote which tycoon Abiola had clearly
won, southwest Nigeria was rocked by riots.

Even more serious protests and strikes erupted after Abiola's arrest
in 1994 for declaring himself president in defiance of dictator Sani
Abacha.

At least 50 people died during riots in southwestern Nigeria following
Abiola's death in detention last July, a month after Abacha's own
demise made way for the new attempt at democracy.

``I expect the feeling of discontent to fade away in a little while.
Falae is not Abiola who had clearly won and was denied. So what is the
point of protesting?,'' asked analyst Tunde Olanipekun, also a Yoruba.

``Obasanjo is also our son whatever we may think of him,'' said
Olanipekun.

Obasanjo and Abiola are both from the same Egba clan of the diverse
Yoruba groups which make up Nigeria's second biggest tribe, but
Nigeria's new president-elect has enjoyed little support from among
his own kinsmen.

Instead he is accused of being a stooge of the Moslem north which has
dominated political life since independence from Britain in 1960.

Obasanjo is attacked by many Yorubas for handing over in 1979 to
Nigeria's last elected President Shehu Shagari, a northerner, while
southwestern independence-era hero Obafemi Awolowo was challenging his
own poll defeat in the courts.

Some in the southwest refused to call Shagari president until he was
overthrown in a 1983 coup.

Both Falae and Obasanjo were jailed by Abacha for their opposition to
his government. While Falae had backed Abiola's claim to the
presidency, Obasanjo once said Abiola was ``not a messiah.''

Obasanjo scored less in the six Yoruba heartland states than in any of
Nigeria's other 30 states -- scraping 30 percent only in his home
state of Ogun. Across Nigeria as a whole he took nearly 63 percent.

``Does it mean that Nigerians love Obasanjo so much? That's what the
results suggest, and though I find it hard to believe there seems to
be little one can do,'' said Tunde Phillips, a Falae supporter.

1991 Cen : 1991 Census Figures

TotC Iss : Total Number of Voter Cards Issued by INEC
Figure (from AAEA/IFES Report)

Vot. Reg. : No of Voters Registered (as reported by INEC on December 30,
1998; see AAEA/IFES report). These figures are used in further
calculations.

LG Voters : Votes Cast in December 5, 1998 Local Government Elections (as
reported by INEC on December 30, 1998; see AAEA/IFES Report)

Gube Voters : Votes Cast in January 9 Elections (source: INEC) Zeros in
column denote unknown figures.

* : New state, created 1995, hence does not have a separate 1991 census
different from the state immediately above it (from which it was carved)

FCT: Federal Capital Territory (Abuja)

Dist Nat: Cards Distributed Nationally by INEC (See AAEA/IFES Report)

Pwin: Party whose candidate won the state's gubernatorial election

AAEA/IFES: Association of African Election Authorities/International
Foundation for Election Systems (Report titled: "Local Government

TABLE IV
---------
LG CHAIRS/GUBERNATORIAL DETAILS
--------------------------------

There is some new information since the last update.

The following table has:
-----------------------

(1) LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL CHAIRMEN WINS SO FAR - the most accurate data
to date is now known (from INEC-derived AAES/IFES report)

(2) GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES AND WINNERS (X/Y means that party won X
gubernatorial seats in the Y states in the political zone.) Governors who
won their states (i.e. Governor-elects are starred *.)

(3) The assembly seats won by each party, and the number of votes won by
each candidate are shown. Not all are in yet, and some numbers from
various sources still conflict, but only slightly.

(4) "MaxLSts" means the total number of LGAs (hence maximum seats of
Council Chairs) in each state. "MaxWSts" means the total number of wards
(hence maximum number of Councillors seats.) The other "Max's" are easily
understood.

(5) The numbers given here are official INEC final figures, and hence
should be considered most accurate. They should be compared with those
given in SPMGN XVII (from INEC-derived AAES/IFES report). They differ
slightly, not by much.
