The All progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State has raised the alarm over alleged moves by some group of persons to truncate the victory of its governorship candidate, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Felix Morka in a terse statement issued on Sunday, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to protect the integrity of the legitimate votes of the Kogi electorate.
It noted: “Announced and uploaded results, so far, show our Candidate maintaining a landslide lead in Kogi West and Central, with a competitive showing in Kogi East.
“We are keenly aware of intense pressure, including violent threats on INEC staff, by agents and supporters of trailing opposition parties aimed at unduly influencing or disrupting ongoing collation of results in the state.
“We urge INEC to stand fast in discharge of its constitutional duty to deliver free, fair and credible elections in the state, and ensure that the freely exercised will of the Kogi electorate prevails.”
