The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is planning to use its armed thugs to violently attack the collation center for the ongoing governorship election in Edo State to manipulate results.
A statement on Saturday night by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba claimed that the APC is mounting pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) to suspend the collation process.
According to PDP, the move was to “make way for the manipulation of the INEC Portal and replace the real results from the Units with fabricated figures in favour of the APC.
“Our Party has also been made aware that the APC is mounting pressure on the Military to withdraw from their positions so as to enable the APC to convey its armed thugs to disrupt and manipulate the collation process.”
“The PDP in very strong terms cautions INEC and the APC to note that the people of Edo State already have authentic results from the Polling Units across the State and that any attempt by anybody or group whatsoever to alter the results will inflame the already charged situation with very severe consequences on perpetrators,” the party said.
