The All Progressives Congress has warned against any
attempt to tamper with the results of the elections that were
concluded nationwide on Saturday, saying Nigerians have
voted peacefully and massively and they know who they have
voted for.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a
statement on Sunday said the figures were “fake and
do not represented the true results which are currently
being collated by INEC, the only body authorized to
release and announce results”.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it
has the authentic results from every polling unit where voting
took place on Saturday, and will not accept anything contrary
to those signed results.
It decried the dangerous kite now being flown by the PDP,
through some of their paid media channels, seeking to
appropriate unearned victories across the nation.
”We have always said we will accept the result of any free,
fair and transparent elections. We stand by that avowal.
However, what we will not accept – and which we are sure
Nigerians themselves will reject – is any move to rewrite the
results and thwart the will of the people under any guise. We
will not accept that.
”We have heard of the desperate moves to cancel the results
in areas where the APC has beaten the PDP embarrassingly.
Nigerians will definitely not accept that,” APC said.
The party said it is aware of the ongoing efforts to force
Electoral Officers and Presiding Officers in Imo State, some of
whom are being picked up by the military as we write, to
rewrite the results of the elections in the state.
”We have the results from every polling unit in Imo State and
we know that we have won in over 80 per cent in the
presidential election. So there must be no shenanigans,” it
warned.
APC also said the same attempts are being made in Sokoto,
Enugu, Ekiti, Ondo, Lagos and other states, wondering why
anyone will be seeking to reverse the results that are already
settled.
