The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday alleged that materials used in last month’s elections in Benue State are being tampered with in the rural areas and asked the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).
In a statement in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said those who rigged the polls were carrying out an illegal accreditation and other activities to justify the results they concocted.
The statement said: "These election riggers are now working from the answer to the question, and it is necessary for the REC in Benue to move quickly to retrieve the electoral materials and ensure their safe-keeping. If this is not done, it will amount to double jeopardy for those who were robbed of their votes."
ACN said it was monitoring the situation, adding that it would not hesitate to seek legal redress if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to act with the urgency the issue deserved.
