Reacting to the PDP’s position on the 2019 presidential election, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, urged all political parties to allow the commission to conclude the process of announcing the results and declaring the winner as required by law.

He said, “Collation of the 2019 Presidential Election has yet to be concluded and is ongoing as I write this. In fact, only the results of Ekiti, Osun, Kwara, Nasarawa, Kogi, Gombe, Ondo, Abia states and the Federal Capital Territory have been presented at the National Collation Centre for the election.

“To be sure, only nine out of  the 36 states have so far presented their results. Therefore, the overall winner has not yet been declared.

“We appeal to all political parties to allow the commission to conclude the process of announcing the results and declaring the winner of the election as required by law. Thereafter, any political party that does not agree with the outcome reserves the right to seek redress at the appropriate quarters.”
