(INEC) of bias.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
responded to the recent outburst of Elder
Godsday Orubebe, its agent at the collation centre
for election results.
Orubebe caused a scene at the Abuja centre after
he accused Attahiru Jega, the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) of bias.
In response to the incident, PDP publicity
secretary, Olisa Metuh stated that the party had
directed its agents to conduct themselves ‘within
democratic norms.’
"In a democratic process, we must follow
democratic channels. Yesterday we questioned
the opposition party about certain things they had
done to challenge states. We expect our members
to follow the same process as well,”Metuh said
while speaking to Channels TV.
“This party has a tradition of decency and will
follow democratic channels to lay complaints.
Ours is to protest and make our voices heard
through recognized channels and wait for
democratic process to be followed. We directed
our members that everyone should conduct
himself within democratic norms and principles.
That is all we have to say about that,” he added.
Orubebe based his complaint against Jega on the
fact that the INEC Chairman had addressed the
APC’s petition concerning the elections in Rivers
State but didn’t address the PDP’s regarding
seven other states.
