KWARA State Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governorship candidate, Mohammed Dele Belgore (SAN), has accused Kwara<\/p>\n

Peoples Democratic Party (PDPP of doctoring electoral materials used for the April 26 gubernatorial polls\u00a0 with the alleged complicity of some Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) staff in the state.<\/p>\n

Belgore\u2019s spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye, said in a statement yesterday that the<\/p>\n

materials are already subjects of tribunal order which last week granted the ACN<\/p>\n

leave to inspect and make copies of all the materials used for the ballot.<\/p>\n

The statement also accused the state INEC of frustrating the enforcement of the\u00a0 tribunal\u2019s order by giving excuses that cast the electoral umpire in the mould of a PDP advocate, rather than being an unbiased umpire as required by the law.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cWe are informed that some of the materials that were used\u00a0 for the elections, which materials were the subjects of court order issued last\u00a0 week, are now being doctored by the PDP in Kwara State, with complicity of the\u00a0 state INEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe election tribunal had ordered INEC to permit our governorship candidate and\u00a0 the other petitioners to inspect and take copies of those election materials.<\/p>\n

Rather than facilitate the enforcement of the court order, INEC has constituted\u00a0 itself into an advocate for the PDP and has put every obstacle in the way and\u00a0 has frustrated its enforcement. INEC has failed to act as an unbiased party in\u00a0 this regard. Tampering with public records, which electoral materials are, is a\u00a0 criminal offence under the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand, firstly, that these materials be brought from the rural areas to the\u00a0 state INEC headquarters to allow for proper monitoring and immediate enforcement\u00a0 of the court order. Secondly, we demand that this matter be investigated by the\u00a0 appropriate authorities and culprits named and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
