The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conclude the collation process for Rivers and Bauchi States, saying that the losers can approach the Election Tribunal to seek redress.
PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who made the call yesterday when the party’s NWC paid a solidarity visit to Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike at Government House, Port Harcourt, said it is illegal for anyone to stop an election midway.
Secondus said: “I call on the INEC Chairman not to drag the country into crisis because of inconclusive elections. This manoeuvre is not good for the nation’s democracy.
