“I have huge reservations about the way INEC conducted this election. INEC bias against APC is so clear,” he said.
“INEC was biased even in the way it dealt with our primaries, INEC was biased in the way in which it selectively used the card readers or the non-use of card readers in some states where it suits them.”
According to him, there were several instances on paper where INEC contradicted itself as to the way the elections were conducted.
He dwelled on the non-use of card readers in some areas, claiming that in some states were the APC clearly won, the electoral umpire used the non-use of card readers to rig the party out.
