Nigeria decides: APC plots to alter election results – PDP alleges

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has raised an alarm over an alleged pressure said to be mounted on key officials of the electoral umpire by some northern governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to change the results of the Saturday, February 25, 2023 presidential elections in favour of its candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

DAILY POST learnt that the suspected governors are Aminu Bello Masari (Katsina) Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna) Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano) and Bello Matawalle (Zamfara).

The APC governors are allegedly blackmailing INEC officials to manipulate the results and transfer massive votes validly cast for the PDP and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar to its Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The main opposition’s spokesman, Nebo Olugunagba disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.

Part of his statement reads, “Our Party has been informed that this nefarious scheme by the APC governors is responsible for the stalling of collation of election results in Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara and other APC States where the Presidential Candidate of the APC is alleged to have released over N11 billion per State to rig the election in his favour.

“This, our party has been made aware, is responsible for the unexplained delay in the transmission of election results from the said States to INEC Server in Abuja and the commencement of formal announcement of results by the INEC Chairman.

“There are reports that the situation is heightening apprehensions and is capable of triggering a breakdown of Law and Order in these States if not immediately addressed and election results as cast at the Polling Units are transparently collated and transmitted to INEC Headquarters in Abuja.

“The PDP in the strongest terms demands that the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu cautions the Commission’s officers in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Zamfara States not to tamper with the results of the election as cast at the Polling Units.

“The INEC Chairman should also direct the immediate transmission of the results to INEC Server”.
