\n
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the orderliness, transparency<\/div>\n
\n
\n

and credibility of its Presidential primary serve as direct lesson to
\nthe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All
\nProgressives Congress (APC) on how elections should be conducted in
\npresent day Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The party said in a statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan said that the
\nprocess has shown that the electoral umpire, in\u00a0 its manifest compromises,
\nhas been responsible for the electoral crises at various levels of
\nelections. It also shows that our citizens, irrespective of their
\nindividual and group interests, are capable of holding peaceful and
\ncredible elections that meet global standards.<\/p>\n

“The success of our presidential primary followed our strict adherence to
\ndemocratic rules and principles of transparency and fairness, which has
\neluded the nation since President Muhammadu Buhari-led licentious
\nadministration assumed office. Simply put, in the PDP Presidential
\nprimary, every vote counted.<\/p>\n

“Nigerians are therefore no longer in doubt that our compromised
\nelectoral umpire, under the Buhari administration, is ostensibly
\nculpable for injecting rancorous situations that create openings for
\nviolence, manipulations, inconclusive polls and outright rigging of
\nelections.<\/p>\n

“We invite the whole world to note that the PDP conducted its
\nPresidential primary\u00a0 and a clear winner, Atiku Abubakar, emerged,
\nwithout any form of disagreements or reliance on heavy security, showing
\nthat Nigerians are peaceful, orderly and desirous of credible processes
\nat all levels of political engagement.<\/p>\n

“The PDP therefore charges INEC to stop blaming voters, accept
\nresponsibility for its failure to conduct credible elections and learn
\nfrom our presidential primary, as we approach the 2019 general
\nelections.<\/p>\n

“Finally, the PDP restates its determination to dismantle APC’s rigging
\nmachinery and return\u00a0 credible processes in all spheres of our national
\nlife.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
