The activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the conduct of the 2019 general election were to the disadvantage of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
This is the position of the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
Specifically, he stated that INEC was bias in the way it handled some issues concerning the party at different levels.
Oshiomhole made the allegation when speaking on an interview programme on Channels Television on Friday.
His words: “I have huge reservations about the way INEC conducted this election. INEC’s bias against APC is so clear.
“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.”
APC, it would be recalled, was at loggerheads with INEC at different levels of the electoral process.
Notable was INEC’s declaration that APC’s candidates in Rivers and Zamfara could not participate in the election because they refused to organise their primaries within the stipulated time.
The issues led to serious legal battles that saw the party losing.
