Election results: Why Atiku must go to court – PDP
The National Vice Chairman of the party , Dr Eddy Olafeso, gave the position at a news conference in Lagos.
He claimed that the Feb. 23 was one of the worst elections in the country’s history, being characterised by irregularities and malpractice. “We are all witnesses to the abuses that characterized the general elections of Saturday 23rd February and the double standards which ensured that electoral guidelines adopted for the election guaranteed different approaches to its conduct both in the Northern and Southern parts of our nation.
“In this respect, we query whatever rationale that will make it accept mutilated results from States like Nasarawa, Kano, Yobe and Bornu amongst many others. ‘The recourse to violence was dictated by the reality that they were set to lose the elections to the PDP and quickly resorted to hooliganism and thuggery in those states to abort the will of the people.
“The party leadership in the South West thus firmly declare that His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar and the National Working Committee of the Party must immediately commence diligent prosecution of actions to expose the fraudulent elections with a serious view to reclaim the stolen mandate. The PDP official called on security agencies to live up to expectation to protect not only votes, but also lives during the March 9 elections.“We therefore call on our people across the region to vote massively for the PDP in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States.
