The Director General (DG) of Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LP-PCC), Akin Osuntokun, on Sunday morning warned that the Independent National Electoral Commission that it is setting Nigeria on fire and subverting the will of the people by its refusal to allow the uploading of results of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
In a statement on Sunday morning, Osuntokun said INEC activities, if not reversed and made right, has “dire consequences” and “of a magnitude that is unimaginable” that may “sound the death knell of the Nigerian nation.”
According to Osuntokun, “haven sworn by the infallibility of the recently introduced electronic transmission of election results aka BVAS, INEC, is about to subvert the credibility of it’s own celebrated handiwork.
“By design, BVAS holds the potential of being largely rigging -proof.
“This potential was actualised at the most critical stage of producing election results at the polling units yesterday. What was thereafter required of INEC was the clerical job of uploading the results to its internet server for onward delivery at the headquarters in Abuja.
“All of a sudden, paralysis set in with the contrived inability to upload the results that are already in the custody of polling agents, voters, and the Nigerian public.
“If it persists in this chicanery, INEC is about to set Nigeria on fire. The dire consequences are of a magnitude that is unimaginable and probably sound the death knell of the Nigerian nation. The genie is already out of the bottle, and it is obtuse of INEC or anybody to believe this process can be reversed.
“We enjoin all Nigerians of goodwill to prevail on the electoral body to fulfil its sacred duty of declaring the will of the Nigerian electorate as was expressly delivered.”
