Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, has urged the INEC Chairman, Mohammed Yakubu to upload Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election results from the polling units to the INEC server without further delay.

The presidential candidate made known through a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, in Abuja on Sunday.

The statement read: “In what is already turning out to be a nail-biting race in the 2023 Nigerian presidential elections, early results from polling units and exit polls indicate that Atiku Abubakar is projected to become the first candidate to meet the mandatory 25% requirement of votes cast in at least 24 states.

“According to the latest projections, Atiku is also set to exceed expectations in at least 10 states, where he is projected to garner over 40% of the votes cast.

Meanwhile, the PDP presidential candidate has expressed gratitude to the Nigerian people for their support so far and pledged to continue to work hard to earn their trust and confidence.

“We are humbled and honoured by the early projections, which indicate that the Nigerian people have seen in Atiku Abubakar the kind of leader that they want to lead them into a brighter future.

According to him, “From the current figures that are available, Atiku is winning in many states in the 6 geo-political zones. We urge our members and party agents to remain steadfast and watchful.”
