CUPP gave the warning on Tuesday in a statement issued which was signed by its Spokesperson and member-elect, Ikenga Ugochinyere.
The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (CUPP) to suspend the collation of presidential election results in “national interest and to avoid anarchy.”
CUPP gave the warning on Tuesday in a statement issued which was signed by its Spokesperson and member-elect, Ikenga Ugochinyere.
Ugochinyere described the process as unconstitutional, and should as a matter of urgency stopped the ongoing collation of results, citing complicit and compromise of the highest order which he said the process violated the provisions of the Electoral Act.
The statement was titled, "Why the ongoing collation of presidential election results is unconstitutional and a possible invitation to anarchy that must be averted now by immediate halt."
Ugochinyere, the Peoples Democratic Party, House of Representatives member-elect for the Ideato North/South federal constituency in Imo State, therefore warned that the collation should be stopped to prevent an invitation to anarchy and burning down of Nigeria.
He said, "The ongoing collation of presidential election results is unconstitutional and a possible invitation to anarchy that must be averted now by immediate halt. As a constitutional lawyer, foremost advocate for credible election and Spokesman of CUPP, I have come to the conclusion to advise that in the national interest that collation of presidential election results be halted in view of compromise and violation of provision of section 64(4) of the Electoral Act.
"Clearly, the results being collated were not transmitted directly from the polling units but cooked by rogue governors who were the same elements behind the Omuma magic compromise of the voters register and should be stopped before this illegality throws Nigeria into national confusion."
