The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Council, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against actions that could destabilize Nigeria’s democracy.
Fintiri made this statement in Benin City, the Edo State capital, during the conclusion of his party’s governorship campaign ahead of the election on Saturday.

He called for a credible electoral process in Edo, adding that any attempt to destabilize Nigeria’s democracy would not be tolerated.
Fintiri assured the people of Edo that the party would ensure a transparent electoral process in the September 21 election.
“PDP will not accept anything less and will not be intimidated. Edo is the cradle of civilization and intellectualism, and the right thing must be done,” he said.
The Acting National Chairman of the party, Illiya Damagum, vowed that the party would defend its votes and resist any attempt to rig the election.
He warned INEC against announcing election results during the night.
Former Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, urged the electorate to vote, protect, and defend their votes to prevent tampering.
This comes amidst allegations of arrests and intimidation of PDP members in Edo ahead of the election.
