The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has written to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), accusing it of colluding with the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to rig the February 23 Presidential and National Assembly
elections.
The party stated this in a letter signed by its
National Chairman, Uche Secondus, which was presented to INEC during a protest
staged by the party on Tuesday.
Some leaders of the party marched to the
headquarters of INEC on Tuesday to protest the outcome of the presidential
election.
According to a tweet by INEC, Mr Secondus led
many of his party’s supporters to the commission’s office at Maitama around 3
p.m. on Tuesday.
In the letter by the party, they accused the
APC led federal government and INEC of militarisation of polls in its
strongholds and skewing the process in the favour of the ruling party.
Mr Secondus said the letter became imperative as the nation
approached the governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections on March 9.
