The Chairman of Atiku-Obi Presidential Campaign Organization in Anambra State, Oseloka Obaze, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release the polling units’ results and other materials used for the 2019 presidential election to the public.
Obaze who was a candidate of the PDP in Anambra 2017 governorship election and the immediate-past Secretary to the State Government, made the call in a statement made available to journalists in Awka, Anambra state on Monday.
Obaze said it was intriguing that INEC had withhold the polling units results and other election materials, long after the presidential election results were announced.
“By its conduct, INEC creates room for speculation and imaginations to roam freely. Indeed, Nigerians now wonder what INEC is hiding from them.
“Whatever the encumbrances, INEC must defend its statutory position as an unbiased umpire by releasing election materials for public scrutiny and complying with court orders where applicable” he said.
He said the polling unit results were not INEC’s property, but Nigerian voters and those that tragically lost their lives while trying to defend their votes.
“INEC should stop dithering. It should acquit itself and prove to the world that it is neutral by releasing the Nigerian presidential election polling unit results” he said.
