"The campaign team, Professor Joshua Alabi, expressed his heartfelt badertion that the process leading up to tomorrow's CND's competition for a flag bearer to lead the Democratic National Congress towards The 2020 presidential election had been seriously compromised before the competition.

The seals of the two candidates, that of the EC and that of the NDC, affixed to the bags containing the ballot papers, had been broken before their arrival at the various destinations of the regions. In the central region, for example, representatives of the NDC regional elections ignored the protests of the agents of the aspirants who witnessed these anomalies and then proceeded to repackage the ballots in brown envelopes with a view to sending them to various constituencies. These and many other offenses have been identified and there is evidence to that effect. "

In response to the allegations, Joshua Akamba, national organizer, expressed surprise at the claims.

"I am shocked by what I hear they say has a problem with the security of ballots. He was sent together by the police. So it's strange, "he said in Eyewitness News.

Rumors of food and transport

He argued that the rumors are peddled to give this candidate a grip on others.

"The campaign team of Prof. Joshua Alabi, aspiring to carry the flag of the National Democratic Congress, has learned with dismay that information circulated among the NDC delegates to be decided on Saturday, February 23, 2019 on the fact that the Feeding and transportation of delegates at tomorrow's election of a flag bearer is sponsored by a particular candidate. "

"This false information communicated to delegates is intended to unfairly give this candidate an edge over other competitors," said a statement from the team.
