National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release results of the Presidential and National Assembly elections for Imo State.
Senator Anyanwu, who made the call in a statement signed by his media aide, Ikenba Onuoha warned against any attempt to re-write the mandate of the people.
Anyanwu maintained that the votes garnered against the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a reflection of people’s readiness for a new Nigeria.
He appealed to security agencies to ensure that results of the exercise are not tampered with.
Anyanwu said;“Imo people happily trooped our en masse to vote according to their choices and consciences.
“It therefore becomes worrisome that over 24 hours after votes were cast, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are yet to announce results.
“Our people cannot continue to watch helplessly the orchestrated plot by enemies of the state and Nigeria at large to subvert the will of the masses.
“We are aware that majority of Imo indigenes participated in the exercise and the outcome was so impressive.
“Regrettably, the delay of the officials of INEC to release result of the election as it reflects the minds of the citizens 24 hours after election is suspicious and as well, dangerous to our democracy”
The PDP National Secretary therefore enjoined the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its officials in Imo state to announce the results without further delay to encourage the masses that their votes were not wasted.
While urging Imo people to remain calm and law abiding, Anyanwu assured them that no stone will be left unturned in making sure that the right thing is done.
