Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has called on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, to instruct the collation officers for Saturday’s election to upload the results from the polling units to the commission’s server immediately.
Atiku, in a statement by his media aide, Paul Ibe, yesterday, said this is imperative to checkmate some governors that are allegedly trying to compromise the results at the local government collation level.
The PDP candidate urged Nigerians to be calm but vigilant to ensure anti-democratic elements who are masquerading as progressives do not steal their mandate.
“It will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday,” he said.
Atiku, while expressing gratitude to Nigerians for their support so far, pledged to continue to work hard to earn their trust and confidence.
“We are humbled and honoured by the early projections, which indicate that the Nigerian people have seen in Atiku Abubakar the kind of leader that they want to lead them into a brighter future.
“From the current figures that are available, Atiku is winning in many states in the six geo-political zones. We urge our members and party agents to remain steadfast and watchful,” he said.
