PDP reacts to Court's stoppage of collation of governorship election results in Bauchi - Daily Post Nigeria

A statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan described the exparte order stopping final collation of the Bauchi governorship election results as unconstitutional, adding that it amounted to the “arm-twisting” of the judiciary and the court by the All Progressives Congress

“The power to collate, suspend collation and or to reverse such decision based on obvious circumstances as the case in Bauchi is clearly within the domain of INEC. Until Collation is completed and results declared no one can question the constitutional powers of the electoral body: INEC, in that regard.

“Our party should not be constrained into a situation in which we will have no option than to allow our members to seek similar exparte orders to halt statutory processes including the swearing-in of APC candidates at various levels, particularly President Muhammadu Buhari.
