The party in a Statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan says it is aware that the investigation unearthed a multitude of underage voters, particularly in Kano and Katsina, but that INEC has been instructed by the APC Presidency cabal to conceal the atrocity, which they say is a plan to rig the 2019 presidential election for President Muhammadu Buhari.

The party says after its investigation it found out that beyond underage voters, the INEC panel discovered other atrocities, which the APC and the Presidency agents have been suppressing.

The PDP says it is also aware of the manipulations in INEC’s computer data center, which has been handed over to a compromised official alleged to be related to President Buhari.

The statement explained that it is shocking to know that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is allowing the APC and the Presidency cabal to use him in their desperation to rig the 2019 election for President Buhari despite his overt rejection by the citizens as a result of the failures of his Administration.

The further explained that last week, Nigerians were stunned by revelations that INEC under Prof. Yakubu is plotting to create 30,000 illegal polling centers in soft and compromised areas through which they plan to allocate free

votes for President Buhari, which is in addition to plots to compromise other voting processes including the card readers to favour the APC.

The PDP however wants Nigerians and the international community to note the various attempts by INEC to conceal the underage voters, particularly, in Kano and President Buhari's home statna.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had in a statement by the media aide to the Chairman of the Commission, Rotimi Oyekanmi, denied reports that it has created 30,000 new polling units, saying that INEC in response to nationwide request for the creation of additional 3,785 polling units, detected its residents electoral commissioners to investigate the challenges and the results of their findings are still being awaited from the States. The statement added that It is these reports and the information they contain that will be collated and carefully examined by the Commission in order to determine what changes may be necessary in the current polling units profile of the country. 

INEC Therefore wants the insinuation that the Commission intends to create 30,000 new polling units to compromise the 2019 General Elections to be regarded as false, misleading, unfounded and should be disregarded.
