The Coalition of Unified Political Parties urged on the Independent National Electoral Commission on Tuesday to halt presidential election results collation in the national interest to avoid anarchy.
While labelling the process as unlawful, opposition parties claimed the ongoing collation of results should be halted due to the compromising of the process and violation of Election Act provisions.
Ikenga Ugochinyere, a CUPP spokesperson and member-elect, made the recommendation in a statement headlined, “Why continued collation of presidential election results is unlawful and a dangerous invitation to anarchy that must be stopped now by an immediate stoppage.”
He claimed that the results were not broadcast directly from polling stations but were “fabricated by some rouge governors.”

Ugochinyere, the Peoples Democratic Party, House of Representatives member-elect for Ideato North/South Federal Constituency in Imo State, therefore warned that collation should be stopped to prevent invitation to anarchy and burning down of Nigeria.
He said, “The ongoing collation of presidential election results are unconstitutional and a possible invitation to anarchy that must be averted now by immediate halt. As a constitutional lawyer, foremost advocate for credible election and Spokesman of CUPP, I have come to the conclusion to advise that in the national interest that collation of presidential election results be halted in view of compromise and violation of provision of section 64(4) of the Electoral Act.

“Clearly, the results being collated were not transmitted directly from the polling units but cooked by rogue governors who were the same elements behind the Omuma magic compromise of the voters register and should be stopped before this illegality throws Nigeria into national confusion.”
