The All Progressives Congress has warned against any
attempt to tamper with the results of the elections
that were concluded nationwide on Saturday, saying
Nigerians have voted peacefully and massively and
they know who they have voted for.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said it has the authentic results from every
polling unit where voting took place on Saturday, and
will not accept anything contrary to those signed
results.
It decried the dangerous kite now being flown by the
PDP, through some of their paid media channels,
seeking to appropriate unearned victories across the
nation.
”We have always said we will accept the result of any
free, fair and transparent elections. We stand by that
avowal. However, what we will not accept – and
which we are sure Nigerians themselves will reject –
is any move to rewrite the results and thwart the will
of the people under any guise. We will not accept
that.
”We have heard of the desperate moves to cancel
the results in areas where the APC has beaten the
PDP embarrassingly. Nigerians will definitely not
accept that,” APC said.
The party said it is aware of the ongoing efforts to
force Electoral Officers and Presiding Officers in Imo
State, some of whom are being picked up by the
military as we write, to rewrite the results of the
elections in the state.
”We have the results from every polling unit in Imo
State and we know that we have won in over 80 per
cent in the presidential election. So there must be
no shenanigans,” it warned.
APC also said the same attempts are being made in
Sokoto, Enugu, Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos and other states,
wondering why anyone will be seeking to reverse the
results that are already settled.
