Presidential Election: No Deal with Peace Committee – PDP vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Addressing a press conference on Friday, national chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus said the committee chaired by General Abdulsalami Abubakar did not expect the PDP to give conditions to forgo its pursuit of redress in the court, arguing that in any case, “there can be no peace without justice.”
“We will go to court. Nobody will stop us from going to court and bring all of the facts both the international observers and some people have not seen. We will unearth them at the courts and I believe that justice will be done at the courts. According to the PDP chair, “When All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders were threatening foreign election monitors with returning to their country on body bags we didn’t know that they had designed the same thing for Nigerians.” He decried the loss of lives on election day.
Lamenting what he termed low voter turnout, Secondus said even the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s “own record of voter turnout in last Saturday’s election fell to about 36 per cent from the 44 per cent it was in 2015. “While the military was suppressing voters in PDP strongholds in the South, a different abracadabra was going on in some Northern states particularly in Kano, Yobe, Borno and Zamfara states where numbers refuse to add up. In Borno, Yobe and Zamfara states, confirmed report shows that there was non-compliance in the use of smart card reader as approved by INEC rules,” he added.
