The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday cried out of an alleged plot by the All Progressive Congress to alter the figures of the elections for the governorship seat conducted in Adamawa state on March 18.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, at a press conference on Monday said the party has good grounds to cry out that the victory of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri is slated to be upturned through alleged manipulation of figures.

He urged the APC not to, under any circumstance or guise whatsoever, tamper with the results already announced and declared at the Polling Units where election has been concluded and Returns made by the Returning Officers without any reported case of disruption or cancellation.
