Ibrahim Hamza, the collation officer for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the February 25 presidential election in Nasarawa, has told the Presidential Election Tribunal that the result sheet for the poll in the State was altered after he had signed the document.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Hamza, a witness of Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the PDP, told the tribunal on Monday that he had also appended his signature to the results sheet under duress because “if I did not sign, I would not be given the result”.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted Hamza as saying: “I did not state this in my witness statement of oath because I know a day like this would come.
”The results were altered after I appended my name and signed.
”Due process was not followed…I had to sign to obtain a copy of the results because there was this intimidation that if I did not sign, I would not be given the result.”
Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) won Nasarawa state during the presidential election after he polled 191,361 votes over PDP with 147,093 votes, and APC’s 172,922.
