PDP Petitions INEC, Seeks Cancellation In Seven APC Dominated States
The National Leadership of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has written a petition to the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
PDP wants the election results
cancelled in seven States in last Saturday’s Presidential and National
Assembly elections over what it termed, alleged electoral malpractices.
Briefing the media in Abuja, Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus listed out the seven states as Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Gombe, Bauchi,Katsina and Kogi States.
He alleged that in the
seven states, under aged were allowed to vote in contravention of the
Electoral Act, adding that voting took place late in the night in the
affected states.
Secondus
further declared that the conducts of the election in the affected
states were characterized by underage voting, mid-night voting,voting to
rig and insurgency attacks on voters in connivance with the officials
of INEC.
According to him, “we want
to put the entire World on notice the evil plans of the main
opposition,the All Progressive Congress,APC, in their clandestine
meetings of releasing unauthorized election results by the INEC to the members of the public.
The sole aim of this is to
be misleading Nigerians and the international Community though their
propaganda machinery. We believe in the rule of law and the electoral
law as amended. As we speak,our state chapters have submitted their
petitions to the state Resident Electoral Commissioners and their on
their way to Abuja to submit similar ones at the Commission’s Headquarters to its Chairman,Professor Jega because we are being guided by law.”
“In kano state specifically,we are all aware that voters turned out en
mass to vote but regrettably,majority of them turned out to be under
aged voters,we have evidence,voting also took place at night for
rigging,our state chapter had already petitioned the REC about all these
malpractices”.
“In Gombe,
similar thing happened,there were insurgency attacks on voters and
electoral officers and people ran away for their lives but at the end of
the day results were procured in favour of the APC.”
“Similar scenario played
out in other states mentioned earlier,in view of this,we are calling for
the total cancellation of the Presidential election results in the
seven states” he declare
