The Plateau State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has rejected the result of the governorship election in the state.
Yilwatda who accused the PDP of rigging the election in some areas, said he has rejected the results while addressing his supporters on Monday in Jos.
He was defeated by the PDP’s Barrister Caleb Mutfwang, who scored the highest number of votes cast in the election.
Yilwatda said, “We are sincere in our voting. We didn’t rig anywhere. In two LGAs, they gave us a difference of over 100,000 votes. We knew it was rigged. We reported low voter turnout and yet the votes increased by over 30 per cent.
“How can low voter turnout become high voter turnout? We will collect our mandate. I am comfortable. I am strong. We are sincere in our hearts.”
He, however, called on his supporters to remain strong and never insult anyone.
“Be strong for me. Stand by me. We have not lost. Don’t fight or insult someone in social media. When they insult you, turn back to them,” he said.
