PDP to challenge presidential election results as agent refuses to sign result sheet



Last night, after all results were collated. All parties were called to the podium to sign the final collation result . The PDP agent refused to sign it. He just spoke to Jega, shook his hands and walked away..Speaking to reporters Bello Fadile who refused to sign said..
“Whether I sign it (the result sheet) or I don’t sign it, does not make any difference. It doesn’t invalidate the result‎. When we go to court, then we can challenge the result,”
  When asked to confirm if the PDP will challenge the result at the presidential election petitions tribunal, Fadile added,
“Sure! The party petitioned. Don’t forget. So the party will follow through the petition. There are rules for this. The law is there.
“The result was declared on the 1st of April, I think. We will follow the due process. Like the president (Jonathan) said, ‘If you have any grievances, follow due process and the due process in this instance is to go to the tribunal.”
