The PDP in Abia state is reportedly presently computing fake results to rig Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections in the state. Reliable sources say the state governor, Theodore Orji, has summoned all party leaders in the state to an emergency meeting at government house Umuahia where they are re-writing results submitted to INEC. INEC heirachy in the state have reportedly been compromised via financial inducements and have made themselves willing tools in the hands of the state governor and the PDP. Early results show APGA candidate, Dr Alex Otti, in clear lead in about 11 local governments but reports say INEC officials are under pressure to doctor the results to avoid embarrasing the ruling-PDP. Sources say agents of opposition parties who turned down monetary offers have been chased away from the local government collation centres and PDP members are now impersonating as party agents to manipulate figures in favour of the PDP ca...

Based on results announced from 55% of polling units across Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is leading Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by more than 80,000 votes. Figures obtained as at 9.30 p.m. (Nigerian time) revealed that Mr. Ambode had received 325,026 votes as opposed to 240, 467 votes for Mr. Agbaje. The APC and PDP are seen as the main rivals in the race for the Lagos State governorship. Both parties campaigned heavily over the last week in the state that was carried by the APC’s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari. Lagos State is Nigeria’s most populous city and has historically been the site of intense opposition politics. The governorship race drew national and international attention a week ago following threatening comments by Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos warning some representatives of Igbo communities that they must support Mr. Ambode or face drowning in the lagoon. Mr. Akiolu’s i...

John Oyegun, the national chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), said on Saturday that the gale of defections by politicians was not good for Nigeria’s political development. Mr. Oyegun, who spoke to newsmen in Benin shortly after casting his vote, advised those defecting to the winning party to rather form a formidable opposition to enrich the nation’s democracy. “Many opposition party members have defected to APC just because they lost out, that is not good for political development. “One would have advised that opposition members should stay where they are, and form a formidable opposition party.” Mr. Oyegun said. He described the governorship and houses of assembly elections as “the most decent, orderly and peaceful” ever conducted in Edo. Meanwhile, the APC national chairman won the election in his polling unit. Oredo East: Ward 2, Unit 1 Polling Unit, the first time since 1991 when he was elected governor. (NAN)
