The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is manipulating the election results against its governorship candidate, Senator Aishatu Dahiru (Binani), in Adamawa State.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement on Monday, said the party is calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to stop the PDP from disrupting the final collation and announcement of governorship election results in the state.
Morka has accused the state’s governor and PDP governorship candidate, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of heavily armed thugs causing a ruckus at the collation center in order to put pressure on INEC and “prevail against the will of the people”.
The statement read in part, “Election results show a clear and decisive victory for Senator Aishatu Dahiru (Binani), the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate.
“Faced with the imminent and certain prospect of loss in the election, thugs and political actors led by incumbent Governor, and Candidate of the PDP, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, have unleashed heavily armed thugs to disrupt further collation of result and subvert the will of Adamawa people as expressed at the polls.
“The Governor is reported to have torn result sheets at the collation centre in a show of unprecedented impunity and executive brigandage. The result of the election in the Fufore Local Government Area of the state must not be tampered with as Binani holds a clear, unassailable lead, only awaiting final collation and declaration by INEC.”
The electoral umpire postponed the collation of the state’s governorship election results from Local Government Areas until noon.
