Governor Samuel Ortom, chairman of the PDP Campaign Council for the FCT elections warned the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC not to tamper with the results of Kwali council.
The Governor in a statement asked INEC to declare the results without further delay.
Ortom in the statement issued around noon on Sunday also called for the release of Abuja Municipal Area Council.
INEC had since called it for the PDP candidate.
Ortom said INEC should not allow itself to be influenced by a serving minister in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and a serving governor from the South East to change the wishes of the people of the FCT.
“The party is in custody of results declared at the polling units and ward levels and as such will not accept anything short of victory for the PDP.”
“The results of this election should not be tampered with in any way because we have credible information that a serving minister and one of the APC governors from the South East has been putting undue pressure on INEC with huge sums of money to influence the results of the election in facvour ot the APC.
“Let it be known to everyone that the PDP will not accept anything less that victory for the party as declared at the polling units where the PDP won with wide margins.”
