Atiku has accused APC Governors of compromise and demands INEC upload election results.
NewsOnline reports that the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain neutral.
Atiku requested the National Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu to instruct Collation Officers for Saturday’s election to upload the results from the polling units to the INEC server immediately.

A statement on Sunday by spokesperson Paul Ibe wondered why the upload was taking long hours after votes were concluded in many parts of the country.
Atiku urged INEC to act timely “to checkmate some governors who are trying to compromise the results at the local government collation level”.
“It will be a disservice to Nigerians and a negation to democracy for anyone to subvert the will of the people as freely expressed in their votes of yesterday,” he said.
The former Vice President appealed to Nigerians to be calm but vigilant to ensure that anti-democratic elements who are masquerading as progressives do not steal their mandate.
Ibe said early results from polling units and exit polls indicate that Atiku is projected to become the first candidate to meet the mandatory 25% requirement of votes cast in at least 24 states.
The statement added that the PDP flagbearer is also set to exceed expectations in at least 10 states, where he is projected to garner over 40% of the votes cast.
