Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, claimed on Sunday that some state governors were seeking to rig election results in their states.
In a statement given to Newsmen on Sunday, Atiku stated the governors are attempting to taint the results at the local government collation level.
To restrain the Governors, the PDP candidate, in a statement written to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, asked the INEC boss to instruct the Collation Officers for yesterday’s election to quickly upload the results to the INEC server.

The statement signed by Atiku’s media aide, Paul Ibe reads: “It will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday.”
He urged Nigerians to remain calm but watchful in order to prevent anti-democratic groups posing as progressives from stealing their mandate.
The PDP presidential candidate also thanked Nigerians for their support thus far and for turning out to vote on Saturday.
He expressed confidence in winning the presidential elections on February 25 when the results are finally declared by INEC.
“We are humbled and honoured by the early projections, which indicate that the Nigerian people have seen in Atiku Abubakar the kind of leader that they want to lead them into a brighter future,” he said.
