The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party have been urged by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to exclude it from their conflict with the Independent National Election Commission (INEC).

The electoral commission has been accused by the two parties of being unfair since its agents left the collation center as the presidential results were being announced.

The leaders of the two parties, including Atiku Abubakar, the PDP's presidential candidate, demanded that Mahmoud Yakubu, the head of INEC, step down and that the results collation be suspended.

But the ADC, in a statement signed by its Board of Trustees Chairperson, Patricia Akwashiki, said the party has never been part of the fight.

It also asked the two parties to delist its name from those partaking in the fight against INEC.

“They demanded that the INEC Chairman step down from his position and that fresh elections should be conducted,” she said.

According to Mrs Akwashiki, the former ADC party chairman doesn’t have the right to decide the future of the party since he is no longer its leader.

“This is not the position of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ralph Nwosu who is the immediate past Chairman of the ADC does not speak for the ADC and cannot speak for the ADC.

“We cannot be a party to any action that will undermine the integrity of INEC or lead to a breakdown of law and order. When the final results are announced by INEC, we will have an informed reaction. The ADC will not be a party to any attempt to truncate the ongoing electoral process. All parties to this process must remain law abiding and remember that the Electoral Act clearly spells out guidelines for redress,” she added.
