ABUJA, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Again, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel results of Presidential election in some Northern States.

The affected States are: Borno, Zamfara, Yobe and Nasarawa. The party asked the electoral body fix another date for a fresh poll.

Deputy Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, made the call Tuesday night after the INEC was rounding off the collation of results from the States at a press conference in Abuja.

Turaki hinged the PDP’s request on allegation that the Smart Card Readers were reconfigured in favour of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari.

It would be recalled that the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus Monday at a press conference in Abuja vowed that the party would not accept the result to be declared by the electoral body.
