The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has called on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu to vacate office.
PDP explained that Yakubu should
vacate office because the country’s electoral system under his leadership was
marred with the invasion of polling units, suppression of voters and stuffing
of snatched ballot boxes.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP accused INEC of canceling results and
allegedly allocating fabricated results to political parties.
The statement reads: “The INEC
Chairman should accept his failures and vacate office without further delay.
This is because there is no way Nigerians can continue to repose confidence in
the commission under his watch.
“Of course, not under an
electoral commission that condones the invasion of polling units, suppression
of voters and stuffing of snatched ballot boxes; an INEC that cancels results
in places where election held peacefully while announcing fabricated results
allocated to its favored political party as valid votes.
“The PDP totally rejects attempts
by INEC to shift the blames for its failures to other political parties. It is
on record that our party had consistently pointed to infractions created and
allowed by INEC to facilitate rigging in elections.
‘While calling on Nigerians to
remain calm, the PDP charges Prof. Yakubu and the INEC leadership under him to
do the needful by vacating offices to save our electoral system from complete
collapse.”
