PDP Criticizes INEC Preparations For Lagos LG Elections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today expressed reservations over the "shabby prepations" of the Independent National Electoral Commission for the forthcoming Local Government Elections in Lagos State.
"We are particularly concerned about the inherent lack of transparency in the process, especially the decision by LASIEC not to count the votes at the polling centres," the party said in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Prof. Rufai Ahmed Alkali. "This decision negates the principles of fairness and gives legitimate cause to doubt the integrity of the entire process."
The PDP, which is hoping to make a dent into the dominance of elections in the state by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), said it feared that the results of the elections may have been pre-determined, and urged members in the state to use legitimate means to ensure that every vote counts and the will of the people duly expressed.
"The whole world is awaiting the outcome of this exercise, especially against the background of the ACN’s self righteous pontifications, pretentious and pugnacious propaganda on Party discipline and internal democracy," the statement said.

I ve always said ACN is far worse than PDP they only employ the corrupt media to deceive people. Lying Mohammed would have shouting now if this is to happen in a PDP controlled state.

There is really no difference between PDP and ACN. They are all there to feather their nests and hand out peanuts to the public.

Lagos State Local Govt Election

This is an opportunity that Lagos State should notb miss to show Nigeria how a free fear and credible election can be held in Nigeria. The counting process should be exactly as prescribed for the last General Election in Nigeria. The outcome can then be analysed to establish or question the last elections. The Local Govt Elections everywhere should be used as practice ground for elections in general.

Why will the ballots not be counted at the polling stations? This is another attempt to rig elections by Tinubu's party, we shall fight this to the end
