The spokesman of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, told a news conference in Abuja on Monday that INEC carried out the action in states where the PDP was in a clear lead.
He alleged that INEC has become biased and working only in accordance with the will of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“INEC, under Prof. Yakubu, has become overtly partisan, surrendered its independence to the APC and carries on as a compromised umpire with obnoxious impunity, thereby sending signals of being heavily bribed by the APC to alter results for its candidates,” he said.
“The PDP has full intelligence of how INEC is acting on instructions from the Buhari Presidency and the APC in orchestrating unwholesome situations and declaring already concluded governorship elections in Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi, Plateau as well as other states as inconclusive, immediately it became obvious that the PDP was set to win,” the report by Nigeria’s Channels Television quoted Ologbondiyan as saying.
He urged leaders and members of the party to march to INEC offices in the affected states and use all legitimate means to protect the party’s mandate.
INEC declared the 9th March Governorship and State House of Assembly elections inconclusive in at least six states, while collation exercise in one state was suspended.
The states that were declared inconclusive include Plateau, Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Sokoto, Kano, while the collation process in Rivers state was suspended.
