The main opposition party in Nigeria rejects the result of the presidential election announced today by the Independent National Election Commission
SIGNS that the opposiion party may not accept the results being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission manifested this evening when the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rejected the results of the presidential elections being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in Abuja.
The INEC has so far announced the result from six states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, with ruling party All Progressives Congress, APC, winning six states while PDP won in the FCT
Uche Secondus, PDP national chairman, at a press conference in Abuja, today said the results being announced at the national collation center are incorrect.
According to him, the party discovered “irregularities” in results announced from Nasarawa state and the federal capital territory, FCT.
“The current administration colluded with INEC and security agencies to manipulate results from polling units across the country. Our collation centres have the original results from all the polling units in the country. That is from where are going to reclaim our results.
“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,” Secondus said.
He said the PDP would update Nigerians “as time goes on” regarding their decisions in other states yet to be announced.
