Conclude On The Side Of Democracy, Atiku Warns As INEC Stalls Five Gov Elections

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in
the 2019 elections, Atiku Abubakar, says anti-democratic forces are
at work.

He, therefore, called on the Independent National Electoral
Commission to act in defence of democracy.

Atiku said this as controversies trail the governorship and
state house of Assembly election in six states.

While INEC stopped the announcement of election results in
Rivers due to the violence that engulfed the state, the Commission
has also controversially paused the announcement of the
governorship election in Kano State, where PDP appears to be
leading.

INEC has also declared as inconclusive, the outcome of the
elections in Bauchi, Benue, Adamawa, Plateau and Sokoto states.

The PDP is leading in all the affected states except in Plateau
State where the sitting governor, Simon Lalong, is leading.

Taking to his verified Twitter handle @atiku, Atiku had
tweeted:

Anti-democratic forces are at work. My
counsel to the Independent National Electoral Commission is as
follows:
Conclude on the side of democracy.
Conclude on the side of the people.
Conclude on the side of the constitution.
Conclude on the side of Nigeria. -AA.
