The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressive Congress (APC) of working with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel and manipulate the figures of results where it (PDP) had commanding votes It specifically alleged that INEC IT server was hacked by the agents of the APC to manipulate results. PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, at a press conference yesterday, said some of the results announced at the ongoing collation of presidential election by INEC were incorrect and, therefore, not acceptable by it. The party also called for the cancellation of results in many states in the North because elections in these states were allegedly conducted in breach of the INEC guidelines.

“The PDP is forced to take a stand and make the following pronouncements at this crucial point because our democracy is under threat of derailment,” Secondus said.

According to him, the results of Sarkin Dawaki and Doka wards in Doma Local Government areas of Nassarawa State were manipulated while 10,000 illegal votes in Agyaragin- Tofa ward were allegedly added to already announced results in Wurno Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

Secondus said: “With the INEC IT server hacked by agents of the APC to manipulate results, we can with certainty state that results from the following polling units have, for example, been tampered with, note: “i. Sarkin Dawaki ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa State; ii. Doka ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa State; iii. Agyaragin – Tofa ward; iiii. 10,000 illegal votes added to already announced results in Wurno LGA in Sokoto State. “Additionally, violent and destructive attacks have been meted out to officials while counting at Lafia Street and Police Barracks polling units.

“As if these provocations are not enough, our agents and officials are constantly arrested and, in many cases, locked-up for complaining that card readers were not in use in many Northern states, implying that all results from the Northern part of the country where card readers were not used should be voided in accordance with INEC guidelines.”

He noted that results that trickled in on Sunday clearly put the PDP in the lead, but regretted that the ruling party and President Muhammadu Buhari dispatched high-ranking officials to allegedly forcefully influence the outcomes in different geopolitical zones of the country.

According to him, “The Minister of the Interior, Lt- Gen. Abdurahman Danbazau was dispatched to the North-West of the country. “The Secretary of the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, was dispatched to the North- East of the country; while the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) were dispatched to the South-East and South-South regions.” The PDP said it has the original results from every polling unit, in every ward, in every local government area in the country.

His words: “First, I want to categorically state that our collation centres have all original results from every polling unit, in every ward, in every Local Government Area (LGA) in Nigeria, of which the international community is well aware, implying all results currently being announced by the INEC is incorrect, thus unacceptable to our party and people.

“Second, officials of both President Buhari’s government and the APC, working with INEC officers, have tried to alter the course of history and disenfranchise our people through the cancellation and manipulation of figures for results already announced at polling units, nationwide, in LGAs where our party, the PDP, had commanding votes; this must now be resisted by every well-meaning Nigerians.

“Third, the ruling party’s strategy has, indeed, been murderous, undignified, and disrespectful of the wishes of the electorate, our people and the international community who have been in solidarity with our nation as we attempt to strengthen our democracy and its institutions.

“Fourth, in full view of the watching world, and despite efforts by our great party and its agents to adhere to every laid down provision for the 2019 general elections, the APC, in collusion with INEC, have taken aggressive steps, mostly through inducements, manipulation and incarcerations, using the elements of state power, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army in particular, alongside other organizations, including the Department of State Security (DSS) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to silence the voices of our long suffering people.

This is disheartening, considering the terms of the Peace Accord, which called for impartiality and non-partisanship by members of our security organization with constitutional roles to play during this civic exercise.”

Medicine after death. You lost the election the moment you picked Atiku. He made things worst when he picked Obi as running mate.
