The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised the alarm over plans by the Governors of Katsina, Kaduna, Kano and Zamfara States to allegedly mount pressure on officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to alter the results of the February Presidential election.
In a report signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, the PDP accused Governors Aminu Masari, Nasir El-Rufai Abdullahi Ganduje and Governor Bello Matawelle of stalling the collation of election results in their States where the Presidential Candidate of the APC is alleged to have released over N11 billion Naira Per State to rig the election in his favour.

The PDP says it is also aware of what it claims an unexplained delay in the transmission of election results from the said States to INEC Server in Abuja and the commencement of formal announcement of results by the INEC Chairman.
The party expresses concern over the possible trigger of breakdown of Law and Order, in these States if nothing is immediately done to address the development across the Polling Units of the affected states in northern Nigeria.
The PDP also urged the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to caution the Commission’s officers in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Zamfara States not to tamper with the results of the election as cast at the Polling Units and also direct the immediate transmission of the results to INEC Server.
The Party however called on its faithful to stay calm, alert and use every means necessary within the ambit of the law to ensure that their will is not subverted by the All Progressives Congress APC.
