No Agent Submitted His Polling Unit Result To Peter Obi, We Owned Them #10,000.00 Each — Arabambi
A faction of the Labour Party led by Lamidi Apapa has again reacted after the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja gave Judgement on Wednesday.
Recall that according to the Independent National Electoral Commission, former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu defeated other strong contenders including Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP to clinch the apex political seat in the country.
The presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and that of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar challenged the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the Presidential Election Tribunal in Abuja and their petitions have been struck out by the court yesterday.
The Punch Newspaper reported that the faction’s spokesman, Abayomi Arabambi, said this in an interview that; “the majority of the agents went away with the result sheets of the polling units when the party failed to pay them their stipend of N10,000 as promised.”
He stated further; “Ab initio, no (polling) agent was paid and I remember telling Nigerians it is something that may affect us after the election. None of my agents was paid. Out of the over 190,000 polling units, we only presented to INEC that we have agents in over 130,000.”
He added; “The remaining was not uploaded. Even in the 130,000 we had, no agent submitted his polling unit result to Peter Obi. We owed them N10,000 each”
