The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council has urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to summon Bola Tinubu to order after a newspaper company allegedly owned by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate claimed that Tinubu would lead in three geopolitical zones on Saturday's election.

In a statement issued on Sunday by Dele Momodu, Director of Strategic Communications of the council, it described the publication as reckless.

The council pointed out that Tinubu is the only mainstream presidential candidate in the election whose base was decimated by the opposition, saying that its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is the only one with national spread.

The statement noted how Tinubu tried to bully Buhari to abandon his cashless policy, noting that the APC flag-bearer however succeeded in intimidating the President to display his ballot paper confirming that he voted for him.

The statement reads: “Our attention has just been drawn to the recklessly dangerous publication unilaterally awarding an impossible victory to the APC Presidential candidate Chief Bola Tinubu. The said newspaper is owned by Tinubu.

“Only yesterday, we all saw how thugs of the APC Chieftains and his allies took over the streets of Lagos burning ballot boxes and documents and generally misbehaving in other to disenfranchise the determined electorates.

“Despite all of these ugly attempts at stealing victory, the APC suffered its worst cataclysmic loss in most of the polling centres in Lagos. The same happened in Kano.

“Incapable of ever being sobered by the crushing humiliation in its traditional territories, we woke up this morning to read about the pathetic and illegal lies cooked up by the Tinubu media goons.

“Tinubu remains the only mainstream candidate whose home base of South West was decimated by opposition parties in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti.

“Most of the Northern Governors he also expected to help him garner votes in the Northern regions failed spectacularly to deliver the badly needed votes. He failed in the South East and South-South.
