The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of planning to cancel some Area Council presidential election results won by the main opposition PDP in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Specifically, the CUPP claimed that the electoral body would declare the Presidential polls results in the nation’s capital inconclusive and pave the way for a rerun.
A statement on Sunday by Ikenga Ugochinyere, CUPP Spokesperson, insisted that the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar won the FCT with over 75 percent margin.
He accused the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner and security agencies of conspiracy, adding that the announcenent would be made any moment from now.
The statement reads: “President Buhari and his team after the FCT results were tabulated realised that not only did Atiku defeat him in FCT but that he could not score 25 percent of the vote cast requirement hence the plan to cancel results from the remote areas of Bwari, Abaji etc to help declare FCT Inconclusive.
“The world monitored election in Abuja and know that Atiku led Buhari with wide margins despite all the rampage visited on voters in the remote areas of FCT.
“We call on INEC Chairman to back down from the evil plan of his men working with outgoing (President) Buhari to declare election inconclusive in FCT or any other part of the country as this will be an invitation to anarchy. The will of the People of FCT given to Atiku must be respected”.
