PDP: APC planning to smuggle altered results into Ekiti collation centre

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to announce any result that does not reflect the true votes cast at polling centers.

In a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, the party alleged that it is aware of the plots by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to “smuggle in altered results at the collation level, which are at variance with already known results from the polling units”.

The opposition party vowed to resist such move, describing it as a recipe for crisis.

“The people of Ekiti State already know the results that have been declared at the polling centers and as such know where the tide is flowing at every level of the Ekiti electioneering process,” the statement read.

“The PDP has, however, noted how some compromised INEC officials are allowing the hirelings of the APC to attack and chase away our party’s agents at the collation centers, particularly in our electoral areas of stronghold.

“PDP, in very strong terms, therefore cautions INEC to be guided and ensure that it is not pushed by the APC or any interest, for that matter, to subvert the will of the people as that would be a recipe for crisis.”
