Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has hinted of alleged plot to rig the results of Saturday’s election against him.
Atiku, also claims to be coasting home to victory, alleging that the summary of early results is in his favour.
The former Vice-President equally threw slur of plotting to overturn his self-professing victory at opposition governors, charging the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, to instruct the collation officers to upload the results from the polling units to the INEC server immediately.
He stated this in a statement his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe released.
It read in part, “It will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday.
“And in what is already turning out to be a nail-biting race in the 2023 Nigerian presidential elections, early results from polling units and exit polls indicate that Atiku Abubakar is projected to become the first candidate to meet the mandatory 25% requirement of votes cast in at least 24 states.
“According to the latest projections, Atiku is also set to exceed expectations in at least 10 states, where he is projected to garner over 40% of the votes cast.”
