Kogi Update: PDP Rejects Fictitious Results, Issues Stern Warning to INEC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a press statement released through the party's National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, expressed shock over what it calls "fictitious results" being announced at the Kogi INEC collation center. It said, alterations of results is brazenly clear and is unacceptable by the people and the opposition party.



The statement reads below:

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) issues a stern caution to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the fictitious votes being bandied from Okene and other arears to favour the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party demands the immediate cancellation of such allocated results, particularly in Okene Local Government Area.


The party maintains that nobody can accept the provocative alteration of results from polling units as well as allocation of fictitious votes, particularly the awarding of 112, 000 votes to APC in Okene.

The PDP says the people of Kogi state have glaring evidence of alterations of figures to reduce the vote of the PDP and allocate imported figures to the APC.




The party therefore cautions INEC not to ever declare such mutilated results as they will not be accepted by the people.



Our party hopes that this apparent moves to allocate fictitious results to the APC has no bearing with the allegations in the public space that Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC had compromised highly placed INEC officials with huge sums of money to alter result in favour of the APC.

The PDP therefore cautions the INEC to note that any attempt to declare the figures being bandied for the APC will be a validation of the bribery allegation.


The only way out is for INEC to cancel and drop the fictitious figures being bandied and declare only the results from votes cast and declared at the respective polling units.
