ABUJA—THE Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, is to challenge results of the presidential elections in the tribunal on the basis of alleged suppression of his votes and inflation of those of the declared winner, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.Declaring his decision to challenge the results and reclaim what he claimed yesterday as his mandate, Buhari equally appealed to aggrieved supporters not to join the ranks of those he described as miscreants engaged in rioting and burning of worship places. He said that the burning down of places of worship was itself worse than rigging even as he called on aggrieved supporters not to burn their voters’ cards.

The resort to the court is based on what the Buhari campaign claimed, yesterday, as the preposterous return in some States where the vote cast was more than the registered number of voters. The Buhari campaign equally claimed that its votes were systematically suppressed by the computer programme of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
