The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare its candidate for the Ajeromi/Ifelodun Federal Constituency in Lagos State, Hon. Rita Orji as winner of the February 23 election.
The PDP in a statement on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said that INEC was plotting crisis in the state by allegedly disobeying a Federal High Court which ordered the commission to declare results of the poll.
The PDP argued that the election was “clearly won” by its candidate, Hon. Rita Orji, saying there is no need for a supplementary poll.
The party said by insisting on conducting a supplementary poll for an already concluded election, even in defiance of the ruling of the court, INEC has confirmed fears that it has been compromised and working for the APC.
“The PDP has been made aware of vicious designs by an APC cabal in Lagos to foist their stooge on the Ajeromi/Ifelodun Federal Constituency seat and use him to divert resources and opportunities meant for the welfare of the masses in the Constituency, to finance their wasteful lifestyle.”
