Members of the APC in the state had alleged that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) massively rigged the presidential election to favour the PDP candidate, incumbent President, Goodluck Jonathan; thereby called for the cancellation of the election in a petition to the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega.
Jega however dismissed the petition, stating that there were no substantial evidences enough to cancel the elections in the state.
