The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has alerted Nigerians that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was replacing all the servers in its Headquarters and offices across the states of the federation and Abuja, in a desperate bid to obliterate the actual Presidential election results transmitted from the polling centres across the nation.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, and made available to the Next EditionNext Edition.
The party said it was completely reprehensible and further exposed the culpability of INEC in the manipulation and rigging of the 2019 Presidential election.
The PDP said it had been well briefed on how the INEC leadership and officials of the Buhari Presidency became jittery and resorted to the desperate measure, after they realized that the servers had information of Atiku Abubakar’s victory at the election.
“Our party also has details of how the INEC leadership and the Presidency agents procured and detailed computer experts to the commission’s offices to switch the servers, mutilate vital information in the system and attempt to erase all trails of transmitted results to the main server.

“Our party has also been informed about how the INEC leadership, several weeks after the election, used some compromised officials of the commission to manipulate voter registers in some states by ticking names of individuals who did not participate in the Presidential election, as having voted. This is with the view to using such to cover the fictitious results it wrote for the APC.
The PDP said what INEC and the Buhari Presidency did not understand was that computer software and applications leave traces, signatures as well as footmark. It said forensic investigation of the system would reveal the real votes transmitted from the polling centres, which showed Atiku Abubakar as the winner of the election.
The PDP therefore called for forensic examination of all relevant documents and equipment used for the Presidential election.
The party said: “We will continue to be at alert as we stand with Nigerians to reclaim our stolen mandate at the tribunal and no amount of manipulations by INEC will detract us from this national resolve.”
