Kola Ologbondiyan speaking to journalists
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to tolerate any form of manipulation in the Ekiti State governorship election.
In a statement on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party the PDP cautioned INEC to be guided and ensure that it does not allow itself to be pushed by any interest “to subvert the will of the people as that would be a recipe for crisis.”
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to accept or announce any result that does not reflect the true votes cast at polling centres, as such would be a direct call for crisis,” the statement said.
The party noted that the people of the state already knew the results declared at various polling centres and were aware of the whole electioneering process.
PDP, however, accused some electoral officers of conniving with officials of other parties to attack and chase away their agents at the collation centres, particularly in their electoral areas of stronghold.
