Tribunal: Obi-Datti Campaign Alleges Attempts by INEC to Manipulate FCT Results

The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign has alleged that there is an attempt to alter the original results of the Federal Capital Territory,

According to the campaign group, the move is part of efforts to satisfy some sinister motives.

The alarm was raised by manager of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Mr. Oseloka H. Obaze.

He warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, against tempering with IRev as it concerns the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

According to him, intelligence reaching the campaign office shows that INEC is trying to yield to pressure to tinker with the results of some states, including the FCT, to enable the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to be in good standing.

 “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%, which he did not get as per the initial INEC declaration and for which he is being challenged at the Presidential election tribunal.

“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.

“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,” Obaze said.
