PDP accuses Jega of bias

Abuja - There was a mild drama on Monday during the collation of results of Saturday's presidential election.

The representative of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Presidential Collation Centre, Godday Orubebe almost disrupted proceedings.

He delayed the announcement of more results for several minutes.

He accused the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attaihiru Jega of bias in favour of the All Progressives Congress APC

He stated that while Jega set up a committee to investigate the protest letter of APC on Rivers election, he rejected the letter of PDP on Kano, Jigawa, Katsina and Kaduna.

Brandishing a copy of the final result, Orubebe also accused Jega of working for the APC.
He stated that the results tallied with the ones currently being read at the collation centre.

The insisted that Jega will not continue with the collation until he looks at the party’s grievances.
