While journalists, some party agents were waiting at the Conference Hall in the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office for the announcement of the results, protesters number about 20 stormed the entrance gate of INEC. Iduoriyekemwen said the PDP was cruising to victory but that the information available to them showed that there were plans to mutilate the final results to favour Okpehbolo.
He also alleged that the leader of the APC in the state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and reinstated the Deputy Governor of the state, Philip Shaibu were thumb printing ballot papers to close the gap with which they were leading. “We will not accept this, we will contest it” he said at about 2:27 am when. He led the protesters to the venue.
