UPDATED: PDP to petition UN over alleged militarisation of February 23 elections
The Peoples Democratic Party has vowed to petition the United Nations and other global democratic institutions over the role the military played during the last presidential and legislative polls which it said led to killings in some parts of the country.
He also said the caucus resolved to support Mr Abubakar and the PDP in their resolve to contest the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC as the winner of the election at the tribunal. The party’s presidential candidate had rejected the result of the poll as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission.Mr Buhari, according to the electoral body, scored 15,191,847 votes. Mr Abubakar garnered 11,262,978 votes to finish as runner-up.
The party noted that an appeal had been filed against the judgement and it will continue to study and follow the situation as they arise. “We insist that our party and our candidate have resolved to seek legal redress on the stolen mandate.”On why the meeting was not attended by some notable members including state governors, Mr Ologbondiyan said most of the governors were busy with campaigns ahead of Saturday’s elections.
According to him, it is surprising that the National Peace Committee had allegedly kept silent over the alleged intimidation and harassment of Mr Abubakar, his acquaintances and some PDP stalwarts.“On February 23, 2019, how will history judge you ? How will the next generation judge you? In fact, there may not be election in 2023, it may just be announcement because if you have the military on your side, you do not need the people, you do not need to campaign.
