The PCC however expressed reservation for the failure of INEC to upload results to IReV portal despite assurance by its chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, adding that resorting to manual collation and announcement of results not only gave room for suspicion but an indication of a ‘grand gang up’ to suppress the will of the people.

His words, “I want to assure you that the PCC Akwa Ibom State has collated enough evidence to prove that, His Excellency, Peter Obi,won the presidential election in this state. We shall liase with our legal team to ensure that the stolen mandate is recovered.”

In their separate remarks, the leaders of the Coalition Comrades Nathaniel Ifot, and Bernard Titus, tackled INEC for failing to honour its promise of delivering credible, free and fair elections.

Comrade Titus on his part, regretted that votes at his unit in Ini Local Government were allegedly upturned against the LP but urged the people to be steadfast and ensure that all LP candidates in March 11, governorship and House of Assembly polls are voted for.
