- In a statement by PDP national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party cautioned Malami to restrain himself from being used to commit unconstitutional acts

- The Independent National Electoral Commission will begin collation of results in the state on Tuesday, April 2

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the minister of justice and attorney general of the federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), of involving in plots to scuttle the collation of the results of Rivers state governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The PDP made the allegation in a statement on Sunday, March 31, by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

The party cautioned Malami to restrain himself from being used to commit unconstitutional acts in the collation of results already scheduled to begin in the state on Tuesday, April 2.

The statement read: "The party alerts Nigerians that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has been boastfully claiming that the AGF was working on a script whereupon he will write to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to direct him to stop the collation of results.

"Our party urges the AGF to note that there is no provision of the 1999 Constitution (as Amended) or any part of the Electoral Act 2010 (as Amended) that, in anyway, empowers the AGF to interfere or stop the process of election, until declaration of result is made.

"It is imperative for the AGF to note that Rotimi Amaechi, in his desperation, will want to rope him in and use him to cause a constitutional crisis that has the capacity to derail our democracy.

"The constitution and laws of our nation are clear on the powers and statutory functions of the Attorney General and that he has no powers to interfere in the conduct of elections or direct the stoppage of an electoral process.

"The AGF should therefore distance himself from the ignoble scheme by Rotimi Amaechi to cause trouble in Rivers state by attempting to scuttle the collation of results in the Rivers governorship election, which has been clearly won by the PDP and Governor Nyesom Wike.

"The PDP also charges INEC to save the nation a serious crisis by asserting its independence in concluding the collation process as well as respecting the will of the people, as expressed at the polls on March 9, by declaring Governor Nyesom Wike as rightful winner of the election without further delay."
