How we ensured PDP did not ‘allocate imaginary results’ in Rivers – APC
Though the party lost in the state, it said the Peoples Democratic Party was unable to “allocate imaginary votes”.
“All that is required of anyone desirous of the truth is to compare the 2015 electoral figures where total votes cast was 1,584,768 with APC getting 69,238 while PDP got 1,487,075; to that of 2019 where total votes cast was 666,585 with APC getting 150,710 and PDP getting 473,971 and the story would clearly unfold,” said Mr Cole, an oil tycoon, who is battling in court to be on the ballot in next Saturday’s governorship election as the candidate of the APC.
The election was marred by widespread violence that caused outright cancellation of voting in Bonny and Akuku Toru LGAs and absence of collation exercise in four others, Okrika, Ahoada West, Ikwerre and Emohua LGAs. Speaking further on Wednesday, Mr Cole accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of siding with the PDP. He cited the deletion of the controversial Emohua results and the refusal of the commission to accept APC nominations for the elections following a court order.
