PDP cries foul over moves to reshuffle electoral commissioners

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the moves by the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to redeploy Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC), barely a week to the February 16 Presidential election.

The PDP Noted that it is already aware that INEC is acting on the directives of the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which have been mounting pressure on the commission to deploy some compromised and pliable RECs to certain critical states where they have been instructed to manipulate the electoral process in favour of the APC and President Buhari.

The PDP said it rejects what it called the “ignoble scheme and charges INEC not to enmesh the election into avoidable crisis, as the planned redeployment will be vehemently rejected.

The PDP charges the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to resist the pressure by the Buhari Presidency but ensures that he stands on the side of the people in their quest for a transparent, free, fair and credible elections. Anything short of this would definitely pitch the people against the commission.
