The Labour Party Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign has warned of plot by Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to alter the original results of the Federal Capital Territory in February 25, presidential election to please some persons.
Labour Party Presidential Campaign, on Saturday said intelligence reaching the Campaign office shows that INEC was trying to yield to pressure to tinker with the results of some states.
These states, it noted include the FCT to enable the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to be in good standing.
Manager of Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Mr. Oseloka Obaze, warned INEC against tempering with IRev as it concerns the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Plot tantamount to raising a dead horse
Obaze, a retired United Nations diplomat, reminded INEC that what they were trying to do was tantamount to raising a dead horse.
He added that whether the reports were fake or real, INEC should know that the level of public confidence in them has long been eroded
Obaze In a statement by the Obi-Datti Media Office signed by its Head, Diran Onifade, said:
“According to our source, INEC is tempering with the machines used in the election to adjust FCT results to give the APC candidate, the much-needed 25 percent.
“This 25 percent the APC candidate did not get as per the initial INEC declaration and for which he is being challenged at the Presidential election tribunal.
We’re not taking allegation for granted
“It’s not clear how the Electoral Commission can brazenly carry out such bizarre action but given the abracadabra they did to announce the APC candidate winner by 4 a.m., there is nothing to be taken for granted.
“Mr.Obaze warns that INEC and the ruling APC may be taking the adherence to the rule of law and due process disposition of Nigerians in general and the Obidient Movement in particular for granted.
“But it would be courting catastrophe for them to want to pour salt into an open wound inflicted on Nigeria’s electorate.”
