The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof.
Attahiru Jega, has dismissed claims of victory by the Peoples Democratic
Party in 23 states as claimed by the Director of Media of the PDP
presidential campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode.
Fani-Kayode had on his official Twitter page on Sunday, claimed that, "As we speak now, we are winning in 23 states and we have 64 per cent while the APC is winning in 14 states and has 36 per cent.”
But Jega, while reacting to the claim, said nobody should take Fani-Kayode serious.
In a series of tweets on the official Twitter page of INEC, Jega also countered the claim. He urged Nigerians to “be wary of declaration from people who are clearly partisan.”
Jega said in the tweets, “I don’t know where the PDP spokesman got his source but we have not collated results in 23 states.”
The INEC boss stated that the collation of results would begin by 12pm on Monday.
From all available facts from thousands of polling units, Muhammadi is winning the election. Fact!
