Rivers Re-run: INEC Plotting To Manipulate Results, PDP Cries Out

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the seizure of result by the Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) was a plot to manipulate and declare the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) winner of Saturday’s legislative re-run in Rivers State. The PDP, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Monday stated that it will not accept any result that doesn’t tally with the figures from the polling units. The statement reads: “Nigerians and the international community can now see the desperation of the APC, which has now arm-twisted INEC in the unholy bid to alter the results of the elections and subvert the will of the people.

INEC should therefore understand that Nigerians are aware that in withholding the final results, they are ostensibly preparing grounds for chaos in the state. “While we invite all to note the avoidable growing tension occasioned by the desperation of the APC to steal the mandate of the people, we caution INEC to extricate itself from the evil web and immediately release all the final results of the ballot as cast by the people and nothing more”.
