The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has been vindicated by the alleged admission of the presiding officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Yobe and Borno states that they manually transmitted the results of the February 23 Presidential election to the server of the Commission.
Speaking with newsmen on Monday, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Diran Odeyemi said the alleged confessions showed that the polls were rigged in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While noting that more confessions were imminent in the days to come, Odeyemi maintained that the wheel of justice will eventually swing in favour of its presidential candidate in the election, Atiku Abubakar.
His words: “Nigerians should wait for more exposure on how INEC won the election for Buhari. Unfortunately for them, Atiku and indeed the PDP were more than prepared for the election.
“While we were campaigning, moving from one state to the other, APC and INEC were planning how to rig the election knowing full well that Nigerians had rejected them.
“Evidence that APC was going to lose was reflected in the empty crowds at their campaign venues.
“In anticipation that they were going to rig, the PDP did the needful of policing the election thoroughly and the result of our diligent monitoring are what we will produce as evidence at the Tribunal.
“Our hope is in the judiciary and we believe that Atiku Abubakar’s mandate will be restored very soon.”
Atiku and the PDP are currently challenging the declaration of President Buhari as winner of the polls by INEC, insisting that the results obtained from the server of the electoral body showed the opposite.
