Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Committee, PCC, has asked that the continuing declaration of the results of the presidential election held on Saturday be stopped.

The campaign demands an end to the irregularities in the states of Imo, Edo, Rivers, and the North and urges the Independent National Election Commission, or INEC, to restore its reputation right away.

According to a statement released on Monday by Diran Onifade, the head of the Obi-Datti Media Office, Nigerians had been anxious for a new order and had faith in the Federal Government's and INEC's assurances that the election would be legitimate.

"Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council is of the firm conviction, that the processes and practices as carried on by INEC, and as permitted by some security agencies, do not in the most reasonable minimum, meet the required standards of credibility and were not fundamentally, free and fair.

"We further present, that a compromised election cannot produce genuine results nor can they be lawful, or in accordance with the constitution and the electoral Act 2022.

"The Amended Electoral Act says that Election Results are to be uploaded to the central server from the Polling Units. What is going on is practically Manual Collation that makes no sense at all," the campaign added.
