Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC in the 2026 Abuja Municipal Area Council election, Dr Moses Paul Ogigi, has claimed that by 3pm on Saturday, he had already won the elections.
He said he had already won by 3pm, before what he described as magic began to happen.
Dr Mo, who was defeat by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said he do not only reject the outcome of that election result, adding that it was disheartening to see the imposition of curfews, mutilation of results, vote buying and how members of the ADC were harassed.
“This is why these particular elections that we just concluded will be a defining moment in the Democratic journey for Nigeria,” he said on Arise News .
“Not because it reflects the will of the people, but because it exposes that obstacle that clogs that hangs in the way of the will of the people. I came into this particular race, hoping that, believing in democracy, believing in the resilience of the will of the people in Abuja, believing that, especially with the change in in the INEC leadership, so I was hoping for something new.
“By 3pm I already won the elections across board the results and then magic began to happen. And this is, this is a crazy thing. So not only do I reject the outcome of the results, but I also…, it is so disheartening to see the imposition of curfew, to see the mutilations of result, to see how members of the ADC were harassed from different polling booths.
“And I’ve never seen a heightened level of vote buying like we’ve seen in this particular election.”
