Alex Otti Accuses PDP Of Manipulating Results, Says Labour Party Won By Landslide

Dr. Alex Otti, the governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) in Abia state has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of manipulating the state’s governorship election results in their own favour.

VerseNews Nigeria reports that Otti made this know when addressing journalists at his country hometown in Isiala Ngwa Local Government Area of the state.

According to Otti, the results uploaded and collected from the different polling units across the state shows that he won, but the opposition party is making every efforts to change some results that are yet to be uploaded.

He therefore called on the security agents and the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yanubu to intervene on the situation to avoid upload of fake results to the portal.

He said;“Virtually all the results that have been uploaded and released, Labour Party won by a landslide.”

“Unfortunately, the PDP government has refused to allow some of the results to stand, and they are doing this with the active connivance of some compromised INEC staff and security agencies.”

“The local governments involved are Obingwa where the outgoing governor comes from, Osisioma, Aba North and Aba South where we won overwhelmingly. Obingwa is a very interesting case because, in the majority of the wards in active connivance with INEC, the BVAS was not used.”

“So they are making efforts to push fake results to the collation centre in Obingwa local government.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on the Federal Government and particularly the INEC Chairman to ensure that the right thing is done in Abia State. INEC had indicated clearly that the BVAS will be used for voting in this election and BVAS was used.”

 “I expect that any result that is not coming out from BVAS accreditation will not be accepted. So, I like the INEC Chairman to prevail on the REC and all other officials of INEC to give peace a chance and do the right thing.”
