Prof. Yakubu should heed wise counsel and<br \/>\nimmediately perish the thoughts of using such polling units or dividing<br \/>\nthe nation along ethnic lines in the 2019 general elections, as such<br \/>\nwould be stiffly resisted.<\/p>\n<p>We invite INEC to note that every Nigerian has seen the handwriting on<br \/>\nthe wall regarding the general rejection of President Buhari and the APC<br \/>\nwell ahead of the elections. We all know where the tide is flowing and<br \/>\nNigerians are not ready to, and will never\u00a0 accept any results that do<br \/>\nnot reflect that reality.<\/p>\n<p>Having completely lost confidence in the integrity of INEC under Prof.<br \/>\nYakubu, we unequivocally demand that all processes leading to the 2019<br \/>\nmust be subjected to open review of political parties and stakeholders<br \/>\nat all levels.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, we demand that INEC makes public the location and status<br \/>\nof all polling units as well as the report of its investigation of<br \/>\nunder-age voters in various parts of the country, particularly, Kano and<br \/>\nKatsina state.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we urge Nigerians to remain vigilant and monitor all processes<br \/>\nto ensure that INEC and the APC do not, at any point in the process,<br \/>\nmanipulate the 2019 general election and subvert the will of the people.<br \/>\nThe best thing\u00a0 APC and the Presidency should do now is to accept<br \/>\nfailure, shed their desperation for power and desist from actions that<br \/>\nwill push the nation to the brinks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns the fresh plot by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to secretly create 30,000 illegal polling units in compromised areas in favour of the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
