Embattled chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Zakka Maikalangu, has advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from sabotaging the efforts of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with regards to claiming to be the winner of the AMAC election held on February 12.
During an interaction with members of the AMAC Press Corps on Friday, Maikalangu lamented that after two months in office, he was yet to settle down to fulfill his campaign promises as a result of the judgement by the FCT Election Tribunal that removed him from office on August 5.
He said: “INEC should be commended for overseeing transparent, free and fair area council elections in February. With the introduction of BVAS by INEC, Nigeria will have successful elections in 2023.
“However, I am disappointed that some desperate politicians want to take over AMAC by lying that they won the council election in February, and thus going to the extent of misleading the tribunal with a fake election result. INEC certified that the PDP won the AMAC election with 19,302 votes, while APC got 13, 249 votes. The original election result is in the INEC server, so where did they get their own result from? You cannot be misleading the tribunal with a fake result.”
