PDP rejects results, party’s legal team meets today
However, the PDP on Monday alleged that the results being announced by the INEC had been altered. It therefore said the results were unacceptable to the party.

The party said it was forced to take a stand and make the pronouncements at this crucial point because “our democracy is under threat of derailment.”

The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, made the position of the party known at a press conference in Abuja.

He alleged that the results being announced at the commission’s National Collation Centre in Abuja were different from the original results at the disposal of the party’s agents in polling units, wards and local government areas across the country.

He said both the officials of the commission and the agents of President Buhari’s government and that of the APC had allegedly tried to alter the course of history by disenfranchising voters through alleged cancellation and manipulation of figures for results already announced at polling units nationwide.

Secondus alleged that 157,591 votes from 86 polling units were cancelled in Nasarawa State alone.

He also alleged that 10,000 illegal votes were given to the APC in Wurno LGA in Sokoto State.

Despite provocation, intimidation and alleged attempts to “hijack our democracy and change the course of history,” Secondus said he was sure that the PDP was on course at winning the presidential election.

Meanwhile, the legal team of the PDP has summoned an emergency meeting for Tuesday.
