PDP writes INEC, accuses it of rigging polls for APC
The Peoples Democratic Party has written to the Independent National Electoral Commission , accusing it of colluding with the All Progressives Congress to rig the February 23 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
In the letter by the party, they accused the APC led federal government and INEC of militarisation of polls in its strongholds and skewing the process in the favour of the ruling party. “This is quite contrary to the provisions of paragraph 10 & of the regulations and guidelines governing the 2019 General Elections and all the assurances you, Prof. Yakub Mahmood, frequently gave up to the last hours before the elections.
“The use of these same security agents by the government to harass and intimidate Resident Electoral Commissioners and certain INEC national commissioners for the sake of forcing them to declare votes for the APC’s candidates throughout the country has been officially or otherwise brought to your knowledge by the affected officers who even threatened to resign from their positions, yet you have decided to keep mute over it in a way portraying outright conspiracy and collusion of yourself and...
“In places like Lagos, Rivers, Nasarawa, Abia, Benue, Plateau, Ondo, Osun states et al, results of duly conducted elections were illegally cancelled especially in the PDP dominated areas to reduce the margin of victory in those states in favour of the APC candidates.
