Atiku speaks on the inability of INEC to transmit results electronically
The PDP Presidential candidate said, “Indeed, what the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did in announcing the manipulated result was a clear breach of not only the 2022 Electoral Act but also its own guidelines which the electoral commission had repeatedly claimed would uphold the standards we had seen in the Osun and Ekiti elections.”
He added that “The INEC Chairman further ignored calls for a review of the process in line with the amended law.” The former vice president also assured Nigerians that the electoral fraud perpetrated by INEC will be reversed in due course.
Atiku further told citizens to peacefully observe the Electoral Act and INEC guidelines as they cast their votes on Saturday. He also called on Nigerians to vote for the “candidates of the PDP, the only truly national party, for a greater and prosperous Nigeria.”
