He alleged that results sheets were already filled before the voting process commenced whule vote buying, over voting and ballot box snatching were recorded all in favour of the ruling party in some of those areas
The Labour party said any attempt to admit the “cooked-up results from such areas is total sabotage of the will of the people”
“INEC must stand tall to counter the dubious moves of the ruling party and deliver on it’s promises to the people which is free, fair and credible election.
“We must do the right thing and stop the intimidation of opposition with the recent made up cliche ‘Go to Court’ The will of the people must be allowed to prevail” the statement added .
