PDP Call INEC Attention To Plan Of Results Replacements In Edo North

PDP has called the attention of INEC to allege plans by APC to change results.

News Rain, Reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has drawn the attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to plans of some party agents of the APC towards changing some election results in Edo North.

The PDP said there is a plan by the APC to change the results of the election in some areas that they are leading, urged their members to remain vigilant and follow their results to collating centers.

PDP has also alerted the Department of State Services (DSS) of plots by agents of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to replace election results where the PDP is leading, particularly in Edo North.

PDP however, cautioned the security agencies not to be used against the Party to replace results that have already been declared at the respective polling units.

Kola Ologbodiyan the party National Publicity Officer, through a statement that was issued to the effect, which was made available to the pressmen in the state, stated that “already, we are aware that results are being manufactured in Kogi state to be used as replacements for already declared results, particularly in Edo North.

“We draw the attention of INEC to such results being bandied by the APC, including the fake result claimed to have emanated from Etsako West, where a vote of 914 was allocated to the APC, as against the genuine declaration at the polling units.

Ologbondiyan in the statement further said, “We charge the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to ensure that his officials are not compromised to replace results, as the people of Edo state have spoken loud and clear with their votes in their respective units, and they are already aware of the authentic results.”

The PDP Spokesperson noted that “A cursory check on the results being circulated in the public space by the APC failed a litmus test of the identification numbers of INEC declaration of results.

“Our party expresses concerns that this sinister adventure of the APC is being encouraged by the slow pace of uploading already declared results in INEC’s virtual portal.

“We are alarmed by the report that this development has led to avoidable post-election violence, which has resulted in the reported killing of innocent Edo citizens, who came out to perform their civic responsibilities as the police allegedly withdrew their men in certain collation centers.
