As the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, proceeds with the announcement of the Presidential results from its situation hall in Abuja, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dropped a bombshell. The party has rejected the presidential and National Assembly election results being announced by INEC.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, in a press briefing on Monday evening said the results being announced by INEC are inflated in favour of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to Secondus; “Our collation centres have the original from all the polling units in the country. That is from where are going to reclaim our results,” he said.
“The results are incorrect and unacceptable to our party. Officials of the APC working with INEC have decided to alter results to affect our people. This must now be resisted by every well-meaning Nigerian.
‘INEC must live up to its responsibility. They are under pressure. We have the facts and when the time comes, we begin to release them.”
He cited “irregularities, Intimidation and violence. against its members” and said the results have been doctored and unacceptable to the party. However, he specifically mentioned Nasarawa as the state where the party, for now, has opposed the declared result, alleging that the state government compromised INEC officials to tamper with the results.
