In another fresh information reaching Becksblog.com.ng, that the Plateau State All Progressives Congress, (APC), has rejected the result of the State gubernatorial election held on 18 March 2023, as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The Party also called on supporters in the state to remain calm, resilient, steadfast, peaceful and law abiding.

Addressing newsmen in Jos on Monday, March 27, the State Chairman of the APC in Plateau state Hon Rufus Bature alleged that the entire electoral process as midwifed by the Independent Electoral Commission ( INEC) was characterized by bizarre tendencies on the part of the opposition PDP to rig the elections and thus subvert the will of the people.
He added that the “There is no gainsaying the fact that the funny and laughable outcome leading to the so called emergence of Bar Caleb Mutfwang of the PDP as the winner of the Governorship polls smack of a charade of democracy perpetrated via high degree political robbery of the millennium.”
The APC Chairman in the state dismissed the result declared by INEC as a pyrrhic victory for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which will be overturned by the sheer weight of evidence against it.
He said it has evidence that the process was characterised by irregularities.
Bature further added that “By and large, it is important to stress here that several emergency facts in the last few days are already confirming our reservations about the entire exercise, our reality checks including unfolding developments have strongly indicated how Electoral best practices was thrown over board by the members of the Opposition PDP in active collaboration and collision with the electoral umpire”.
According to the state APC Chairman, for instance, the saga surrounding the recovery of the 14 missing BVAS machines meant for some polling units in Jos North, LGA, the premedicated and reckless over voting registered in Langtang North, Mangu and Jos South LGAs as well as Tudun wada and Kabong in Jos North LGA, and the unabashed Manipulation of the electoral process by the INEC officials and ad hoc staff to favour the Opposition PDP in the state, all these have now come to full public glare, it is very clear that in areas where the APC won, the results have shown how the electoral in such areas conducted and subscribed themselves to due diligence and electoral guidelines regarding accreditation and voting under the electoral act.
Bature further alleged that that “Since the declaration of Bar Caleb Mutfwang as the winner of the Governorship election by INEC, the Opposition PDP has resorted to violence by destroying the APC’s campaign materials (Billboards, flags and posters) this is particularly evident in Mangu LGA where the Generation Next Campaign office was unabashedly destroyed and pilfered”.
The APC state chairman further alleged that commuters especially those passing through Mangu were attacked and harassed.
“This is in addition to subjecting our members to series of unconscionable attacks in other parts of the state, all in a brazen display of hysteria”, he added.
Bature added “That it is on record that in the aftermath of the general elections, we have noticed a series of blackmails and propaganda by the Opposition through a barrage of Ill motivated religious and ethnic profiling of our dear party and it’s candidates, against this background, we remain committed to our resolve on issue based statements and actions, as we are unruffled by the jittery outbursts of our opponents.”
