Edo Guber: Disregard fake election results, APC tells electorate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has charged Edo electorate to disregard election results in circulation as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was still collating results.

Mr Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary gave the advice, in a statement, on Saturday in Abuja.

“The attention of the APC has been drawn to some reports circulating in sections of social media by certain political parties, peddling bogus figures of vote tallies in the ongoing Edo Gubernatorial Election.

“We urge the Edo electorate and the general public to disregard these bogus and highly speculative reports.

“Our great party wishes to clarify that collation at the Ward level is still ongoing and has yet to be concluded.

“Certainly, Local Government level collation has yet to begin in most of the Local Government Areas in the state let alone concluded,” the APC spokesman said.

He explained that consistent with the Electoral Act, INEC was the sole authorised body
empowered to collate results at Ward, Local Government and State levels, and to officially declare the election results

Morka said the APC was comfortably in an early lead, but would not attempt to preempt INEC’s conclusion of the election process and official declaration of final results.
