A chieftain of the Labour Party, Pat Utomi has revealed the 12 States where the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC should review presidential election results.
Recall that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has vowed to challenge the presidential election results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The electoral umpire had earlier announced the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the recently conducted presidential poll.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress defeated other strong contenders including Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party to clinch the apex political seat in the country.
Reacting to the development, Professor Pat Utomi, while addressing Journalists in Lagos State called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately commence the review of the election results in 12 states.
According to the well-respected Professor, the states are Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Imo, Akwa-Ibom, Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Adamawa, Taraba, Bayelsa and Bauchi.
He added; “We ask that INEC immediately begins the process of review. It should collate and bring all the materials from all these states to Abuja where people will feel less threatened, and that every party name a number of well regarded people to be on the panel of review that will be open, transparent before the whole world and all the media.”
