The
Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, called on
the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to cancel results of the
presidential elections for Lagos State due to manipulation of the votes by All
Progressive Congress, APC.
Addressing a press conference at
its party secretariat, the state chairman of the party, Mr Tunji Shelle accused
INEC officials of collaborating with the APC to manipulate outcome of the
elections, saying it affected the chances of the party.
“we
hereby reject outright all the established manipulated results and the
concocted victory given in favour of APC in Lagos State. We demand immediate
justice and the prompt cancellation of all concocted APC kangaroo victory and
the immediate restoration of all genuine and untarnished results from the
various polling units as nothing else will do.”
“We are protesting in the strongest terms the deliberate and
unconscionable complicity of INEC officials with the APC in Lagos State to
thwart and reverse the popular will of the people of Lagos State in the
presidential and parliamentary elections.”
According to him, the
distribution of PVCs was in favour of the stronghold of the APC in Lagos.
Non-indigenes in Lagos were openly disenfranchised and denied the right to
collect their PVCs, hence majority were unable to vote.”
