The People’s Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has accused some media organizations of colluding with the opposition to illegally release results of the elections.

“We are deeply concerned by the level of disinformation and falsehood that is being peddled around by the friends of the opposition in the media and particularly their paid agents and associates on the social media about the results of Saturdays elections,” PDPPCO spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode said.

He said since Sunday afternoon these had been releasing fake results and they had been attempting to mislead the Nigerian people and the international community.

“The public have been inundated with lie after lie about the APC’s (All Progressives Congress’) so-called victories in virtually every single polling booth, ward, local government area and state in the country. This is not only nonsensical but it is also far-fetched, absurd and childish.”

Fani-Kayode said two “opposition media houses” and their associates in the social media went as far as to claim that President Goodluck Jonathan had lost in Fani-Kayode’s polling unit and in his ward in Ile-Ife, when in actual fact, the President not only won in the polling booth and ward but also won in virtually every other ward in the four local government areas of Ile Ife in Osun State.
