The representative of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Presidential Collation Centre, Godday Orubebe has accused the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attaihiru Jega of bias over his failure to investigate the party protest letter on the election in Kano, Katsina, Jigawa.
Orubebe, former Minister of Niger Delta, noted that while Jega set up a committe to investigate the protest letter of APC on Rivers election, he rejected the letter of PDP on Kano, Jigawa, Katsina and Kadunna.
“Jega threw our letter at us, saying that he will not investigate. Jega cannot be selective, he cannot be tribalist”.
He also shown a collated result across the 36 states and the FCT, which he noted was compiled by Jega and the APC.
He added that the result were the same as the one announced by the electoral umpire, questioning how APC got the result when they have not be announced.
Meanwhile, Prof. Jega has dismissed the accusation of bias leveled against him by the Peoples Democratic Party, stressing that the party did not follow the right channel of communication in submitting its petition.
He argued that the petition was given to his Personal Assistant instead of the Secretary to the Commission.
He also claimed ignorance of the election result alleged paraded by the APC.
After a brief delay orchestrated by Orubebe’s action, the collation of result resumed.
