“Yesterday, after we took the first batch of results in this hall and as we declared a recess, as I was walking down to the office, my PA came to me and said that here are some papers that the PDP representatives gave to him.
“I told my PA to take back the documents to them, that we don’t collect petitions on the platform where we are collating results.
“As I speak to you, the secretary of the commission is in the office to collect petitions.
“I have started collations and I cannot be receiving petitions in this hall.
“As I speak to you I have not received any petition from my secretary which the PDP has submitted.
“On the issue of results with the APC, I have not seen any result. On that issue, I think it is frankly unfair to me. I have not seen the results and how can I speak on something I have not seen.
“Please, let us be careful about what we say or do. Let us not disrupt a process that has ended peacefully.
“Mr Orubebe, you are former Minister of the Federal Republic. You are a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you say or what allegations you make and certainly you should be careful about your public conduct.”
– Prof Attahiru Jega
