As such, PDP rejects the fraud by Kaduna State Independent<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Electoral Commission (KADSIECOM) in altering the results in favour of APC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It is totally intolerable for KADSIECOM, working in cahoots with the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">discredited APC, to engage in the manipulation of the collation process by<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">changing the figures and announcing final results that are different from<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">figures tallied at the polling centers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Such daylight robbery by the APC is absolutely unacceptable, particularly,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">given the precarious security situation in the state.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We have preponderance of instances where final electoral officers were<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">whisked away to unknown destinations by agents of Kaduna state government,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">aided by security agencies, while fake results are being announced in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">favour of the APC.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">For instance, while voters and party agents were still waiting for the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">return of electoral officer, Mr. Elisha Gandu at the Kajuru Local<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Government secretariat where results from polling centers show that the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">PDP won 9 out of the 10 wards, the Nagarta Radio was busy announcing APC<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">as winner.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">This is the situation in most of the final results so far announced by the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">commission and we cannot accept such.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We want the APC and KADSIECOM to note that the PDP has eyes everywhere,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">monitored the entire balloting processes at all levels and know directly<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">how all the parties, including our great party, the PDP performed in all<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the polling centers across Kaduna state.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Consequently, the PDP cautions the Chairman of KADSIECOM, Dr. Saratu Binta<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Dikko-Audu to save the state from avoidable stress by resisting the APC,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">withdrawing all altered final results and announcing only results that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">reflect the actual wishes of the people as expressed in the ballot.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">KADSIECOM Chairman must note that the entire world is watching and history<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">beckons as she makes her decision to stand either on the side of truth,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">justice and honour or on the side of corruption, treachery and infamy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/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) rejects as highly provocative, fraudulent and completely indefensible the alteration of final results and declaration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner in areas&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":44525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
