Polls: PDP Chides Yakubu On Blame Game

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described as untenable excuses given the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu for the lapses in the conduct of recent elections charging that he should step down.

Observing that the elections conducted by the Yakubu led commission were about the worst in the nation’s history, the PDP in a statement said attempts at shifting the blame would not find traction.

The statement issued by the party’s national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondinyan read:

“The INEC Chairman should accept his failures and vacate office without further delay. This is because there is no way Nigerians can continue to repose confidence in the commission under his watch.

“Of course, not under an electoral commission that condones the invasion of polling units, suppression of voters and stuffing of snatched ballot boxes; an INEC that cancels results in places where election held peacefully while announcing fabricated results allocated to its favoured political party as valid votes.

“The PDP totally rejects attempts by INEC to shift the blames for its failures to other political parties. It is on record that our party had consistently pointed to infractions created and allowed by INEC to facilitate rigging in elections.

‘While calling on Nigerians to remain calm, the PDP charges Prof. Yakubu and the INEC leadership under him to do the needful by vacating offices to save our electoral system from complete collapse.”
