The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of Nasarawa State has said no amount of fake news can secure the party’s alleged stolen mandate.

This is even as the party also denounced media distortions in election petition reportage.

In a statement, chairman of the PDP in the state, Hon. Francis Orogu, criticised the manipulation of public opinion through fabricated narratives.

Orogu expressed concern over the distortion of key witness testimonies in the ongoing governorship election petition in Lafia.

In response to these allegations, Orogu firmly stated that the PDP will not engage in responding to misleading claims.

There was nowhere the State PDP Returning Agent not “Collation Agent, Mr. Baba, denied the PDP’s petition before the tribunal”, saying that “the figures allocated to favour the PDP were due to human errors by the PDP lawyers in all the alleged polling units and wards”.

The chairman emphasised that the PDP’s key witness, Barr. Ayiwulu Baba Ayiwulu, presented an unambiguous and clear account at the tribunal.

He denounced the manipulation of Ayiwulu’s words, saying the aim to influence public opinion has failed.
