Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain neutral.<\/p>\n

Atiku requested the National Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu to instruct Collation Officers for Saturday\u2019s election to upload the results from the polling units to INEC server immediately.<\/p>\n

A statement on Sunday by spokesperson Paul Ibe wondered why the upload was taking long hours after votes were concluded in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Atiku urged INEC to act timely \u201cto checkmate some governors who are trying to compromise the results at the local government collation level\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The former Vice President appealed to Nigerians to be calm but vigilant to ensure that anti-democratic elements who are masquerading as progressives do not steal their mandate.<\/p>\n

Ibe said early results from polling units and exit polls indicate that Atiku is projected to become the first candidate to meet the mandatory 25% requirement of votes cast in at least 24 states.<\/p>\n

The statement added that the PDP flagbearer is also set to exceed expectations in at least 10 states, where he is projected to garner over 40% of the votes cast.<\/p>\n
