Prince Uche Secondus. the National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed that the creation of central collation center by the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is to meet the needs of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in the manipulation of the polls.

Secondus warned INEC to desist from acts tantamount to rigging the election even before the votes are caste.

The National Chairman, who raised the alarm while addressing a crowd of party supporters at Haliru Abdu Staduim, in Birini Kebbi, Kebbi state on Sunday, during the presidential rally, said that Prof. Yakubu has succumbed to pressure from the APC to have a central collation center away from the usual practice in the past to creat room for rigging.

Secondus said that names of people who will handle the collation are being handed down to INEC whose leadership appear to be lacking in the strong will to resist APC pressure.

He said that the names being compiled secretly are APC sympathizes as INEC leadership secumbed to pressure from APC, who now know that tNigerians have rejected them.

The National Chairman reiterated his earlier position that Nigerians will not accept a rigged election and will do everything humanly possible to resist the thwarting of the will of the people.

Secondus said APC is being rejected by Nigerians because they were given the mandate to change the country for good but their three years reign has ended up breeding hunger, poverty and unemployment in an unprecedented manner in the land.

The National Chairman told the jubilant party supporters that by their massive turn out to welcome the candidate and the party, they have put a death nail on the APC in the state and at federal level.

β€œThe candidate we are presenting to you has all it takes to run a solid administration, he has been tested and tried both in private and public sector and he will provide food on your table as well as create jobs for youths of Nigeria,” he said.

The Presidential candidates of the party, Atiku Abubakar, who also spoke, assured the people that PDP will ameliorate their suffering, create jobs, and end their hunger and insecurity.

The President of the Senate and the Director General of the PDP presidential campaign, Bukola Saraki on his part, urged the people to vote PDP in all the elections and kick out poverty.

The Governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal who is the coordinator of the PDP Presidential campaign, also urged the people to vote for PDP candidates all the way.
