2019 election: APC reacts to EU reports on general polls

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, has reacted to European Union reports on the 2019 general elections.

Spokesperson for the Campaign Organization, Festus Keyamo addressed newsmen after EU briefing on Saturday.

The European Union Mission (EU EOM) had in their reports stressed the need to urgently improve the electoral process in Nigeria.

The EU EOM Chief Observer, Maria Arena, ststed on Saturday in Abuja at a news conference on the release of the final report of the 2019 General Elections.

However, Keyamo faulted the EU EOM for not coming to a conclusion in its report.

He said, “The result reflects the overall wishes of Nigerians, that was the report by so many observers, if you are an observer you should come to a definitive conclusion, don’t be dodgy about it, don’t run away from that fact because we have 120,000 polling units across the country and in all their report I don’t think they discussed at most 500 polling units.

“If you observed certain anomalies, it could not have been more than 500 or 1000 polling units and if you do observe anomalies in those polling units, how does that substantially affect results coming from 120,000 polling unit?

“So it is not enough for you discuss the anomalies, they must discuss the overall results coming from the entire country and whether it did reflect the wishes of the people.

“This is what we want to know because they have problems in the US elections, there are problems in the EU and even UK elections.

“For Christ sake, we need a detailed analysis to come to a definitive conclusion about the overall result of the election,” he said.
