The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to disregard “misleading figures being circulated by the All Progressives Congress (APC)” in the social media as results of the presidential and National Assembly elections in some polling booths.
A statement issued on Sunday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said the figures were “fake” and do not represent the true results which are currently being collated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC, the only body authorised to release and announce results.
The statement said: “The APC in its desperation for power has resorted to posting fake results in the social media in a bid to ambush the electoral commission, mislead the unsuspecting public to believe it is winning, all in furtherance of its grand plot to cause confusion and set the stage for violence when the authentic results are finally released.
“We therefore alert Nigerians to be on their guard and close ranks in resisting the APC’s plot to plunge the nation into chaos and anarchy. Our democracy has come to stay and the will of the people must prevail over and above the parochial ambition of a selfish few.
“Finally, we strongly caution the APC against its acts of desperation and use of dishonest methods including physical attacks against our members and supporters as these pose great threat to our democracy, the unity and stability of our dear nation.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Yes I believe in this because in bonny island of rivers state results are ready but INEC has not announced them to the public even after counting in presence of every bony so where are all these figures coming out from?
ReplyDeleteWhat is holding INEC from immediately announcing result of each local government if there is no intention to manipulate the results. INEC must ensure that these results are promtly made public to avoid manipulation.
ReplyDeleteOrji you spoke my mind. If someone who witnessed the count released the result, without any embellishment will it be a disservice?
