PDP plans to change S’East, S’South results overnight – Marwa

***asks INEC, security agencies to be vigilant 

The Central Working Committee (CWC) of the All Progressives Congress (PC) Women and Youth Presidential Campaign Team, has raised the alarm over alleged plans by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to instigate violence in the South East and South South.

The organisation said it was a ploy to use it as cover to alter the figures of election results from the two geo-political zones overnight.

Fielding questions from journalists in Abuja, chairman of the group and former governor of Lagos State, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa (retd), called on security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission, to be vigilant and prevent such irregularities.

He said, “We will like to draw attention to the fact that there are plans afoot for massive manipulation of results by the opposition in the South East and South South through the unleashing of violence from tonight onwards with a view to altering election results by using total registered voters instead of accredited voters to change the final result figures.

“We therefore urge security agencies and INEC to monitor this information very closely and act swiftly to forestall this nefarious intention. As we await the final outcome that will surely confirm the reelection of President Muhammadu  Buhari, let us all keep our eyes on the ball, follow the collation process closely and remain steadfast until the whole exercise is concluded in our favour.

“We thank millions of APC members and supporters who trooped out to vote on February 23, 2019, despite the initial postponement. We thank our agents who stood their grounds to ensure our results were not tampered with and our mandate protectors who kept eagle eyes on the process.”

While expressing optimism that the final results will favour and the APC, Marwa expressed the appreciation of the campaign team to the President, Hajiya Aisha Buhari and other leaders of the ruling party for their support and encouragement throughout the duration of the campaign.

Marwa said, “While we await the verdict of history, may I on behalf of the CWC of our campaign team, thank our members, coordinators and full structures, canvassers, door-to-door mobilisers and millions of patriots for their uncommon commitment and efforts towards the success of the President Muhammadu Buhari re-election project. 

“I want to put it on record that your selfless labour has made all the difference in the outcome of the election, which no doubt will be in our favour by the grace of God.”

Marwa extended gratitude to Buhari and other leaders of the APC Presidential Campaign Council for the support and encouragement given to our team throughout the exciting and challenging campaign. 

“No doubt, our task was to complement the presidential campaign council and we did just that”, he stated.
