Nasarawa PDP Raises Alarm Over Attempt By INEC Admin Secretary To Destroy Records
Rabiu Omaku
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Nasarawa State Office yesterday refused to obey the court order directing them to allow the legal team of the PDP to inspect the documents/reports of the 18 March 2023 governorship election in the state.
Even more disturbing is the alleged threat by the administrative secretary of INEC In the state Alh Musa Usman Wase to destroy the documents/reports to hide the evidence of the massive rigging that took place at Gayam and Chiroma wards in Lafia and in Tunga in Awe LGAs.
The Administrative Secretary Alh Musa Usman Wase reportedly directed that no document on the election should be released to our lawyers despite the court order and our official request for the documents.
Besides, there are strong rumors of threat by the Admin Secretary to tamper with the documents because of the obvious discrepancies between the iRev results and the figures announced by the INEC returning officer declaring Abdullahi Sule as the winner.
The PDP wishes to alert the public that Usman Wase is working to frustrate the PDP Legal team and to tamper with election documents to hide the rigging that took place in Lafia and Awe LGAs.
PDP calls on the INEC National Chairman to direct the Lafia office to respect the Order of the courts and to immediately release the certified true copies and allow our legal team to inspects the election materials.
We condemn the blatant partisanship of Usman Wase and the alleged threat to tamper with records of the Governorship election in Nasarawa state.

Alh Adamu Bako Ninga
Secretary PDP
Nasarawa State.
