The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, to instruct the commission’s officials to upload Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election results from the polling units to the INEC server without further delay.
Atiku said the appeal had become imperative in order to thwart the alleged plan of some governors who wants to compromise the collation of the results at the local government level.
The former vice-president made this known through a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, on Sunday in Abuja.
According to him, it will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday,”
The PDP presidential candidate further appealed to Nigerians to remain calm but vigilant in ensuring that anti-democratic elements who are hiding under progressives do not rob them of their mandate.
