The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised another alarm that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has in collaboration with some staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), written fake results as the Edo State Gubernatorial Election is in progress.
A statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, named some of the officials involved.
“We have become aware that senior members of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), in collusion with certain staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have started writing fake & fictitious results as part of their plan to manipulate the Edo State Gubernatorial Election which is taken place today.
“We are aware that these APC members are working in collusion with Mrs. Amina Zakari, an INEC national official; Mrs. Imoudu Sule, Edo State INEC PRO, the Delta State REC, and the National Deputy Director of Operations.
“We are also aware that these officials have distributed millions of Naira to the Local Government Electoral Officers to get them to write false & fictitious results in favour of APC even before votes are cast,” it said.
“It added that it is necessary to warn the Nigerian public that their Party will resist any attempts by the Ruling Party to subvert the will of the people by any engagement in the substitution of electoral materials.
“We urge all well-meaning Nigerians to counsel INEC and the Ruling Party to refrain from acting in a manner that may lead to the breakdown of law and other.”
