Kogi state chapter of Social Democratic Party SDP has called for the cancellation of results of the November 11th governorship election in the state.
SDP made this call at the gubernatorial election collation centre where the party’s collation agent David Edibu submitted a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission, calling for cancellation of results in Okene, Okehi, Ogori Magongo, Adavi, Ajaokuta Local Government Areas as well as some parts of Lokoja alleging Corrupt practices, Votes buying and over voting.
He added that agents of Social Democratic Party were not allowed to get close to the polling units in the local government areas.
The state returning officer, Prof. Johnson Urame received the petitions on behalf of the commission and assured the Social Democratic party that the petition will be reviewed.
The People’s Democratic Party has said that they are keying into the petition of the Social Democratic Party.
The collation agent of the People’s Democratic Party, Abubakar Mahmood added that the number of malpractices in the said Local Government areas were alarming.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress while reacting to the call for cancellation said that the People’s Democratic Party can not blame anyone for not bringing agents to the polling units.
