The Peoples Democratic Party on Wednesday refused
to sign the final result sheet for the March 28
presidential election, which it lost to Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) of the All Progressives
Congress.
This was despite that the PDP presidential candidate,
President Goodluck Jonathan, had conceded defeat
earlier before the Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission and Chief Returning
Officer of the election, Prof. Attahiru Jega, returned
Buhari as the President-elect at about 3.44am on
Wednesday.
One of the PDP agents, Godsday Orubebe, who had
earlier caused a row when the collation exercise
continued on Tuesday, had left the National Collation
Centre in Abuja before the announcement of the final
result by Jega.
The second agent, Bello Fadile, was present when
party agents were being called upon to sign the result
sheet.
At about 3.36am when Fadile approached the podium,
where Jega was seated, instead of signing the result
sheet as other agents invited before him had done, he
only spoke few words in hushed tones to the INEC
boss, shook hands with him (Jega) and returned to his
seat.
Fadile however waited till the end of the event at
about 3.53am to receive a copy of the result.
