Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos has urged Independent National Electoral
Commission INEC not to delay the announcement of Governorship and state
House of Assembly election results.
Bagos disclosed this in Jos on Thursday, Bagos while briefing journalists.
He
employed INEC to avoid unnecessary drama of tactically delaying to
announce all the senatorial districts results of Guber but to declare
the winner immediately.

crisis state to allow them use security for proper rigging.
Bagos
raised alarm that few days to the Governorship and house of Assembly
Elections results sheets for the Governorship position is already in
circulating in the state.
He called on the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, the Security Agencies to as a matter of
urgency investigate the matter and ensure that only true and authentic
materials supplied for the Saturday Elections are issue to eligible
voters.
The Lawmaker warns that Plateau citizens would not accept any outcome of the elections that is not the voice of the people.
According
to him, it is very obvious that the Government in power is desperately
nursing evils intention to forcefully upturn the outcomes of the
elections in APC favour .
“We
are worried that the APC is trying to portray that there are impending
threats of crises any anarchy in the state during the Elections. We
received credible information that the state government has asked for a
deployment of more security to plateau State.
“We want the
federal government to disregard such request because plateau is
peaceful, and when you hear the heartbeat of a plateau Man you know that
they want to vote for PDP. That’s why the governor is trying to portray
that the state is under threat.
“We asked. When people were been
killed in a large numbers on daily basis why was adequate security not
deployed to to the state to protect lives and property?
“It is
all over on Social media that, Lalong has sneaked in result sheets of
Governorship elections, and we don’t want to take such issues lightly.
“We
want to warn the state government not to try what it did during the
local government election, where results were being collated in various
local government and they went ahead to announced winners”.
He
said the INEC result sheets already flying on social Media as he
observed, cast him no doubts to disbelieve they are not authentic
property of INEC, and warns that the people will not accept thing Shot
of people’s voice.
He said what happened during the presidential
and national assembly elections where their results were held for days
before they were later released create alot of suspicion on the
Crediblility of the INEC to conducting free and fair elections.
He
called on citizens to be wary of the antics of desperate politicians to
rig elections, hence should ensure they come out to vote for candidates
of their choice and make sure votes are counted, guided and protected.
