The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) five-man Congress Panel led by Jibrin Ahmed has been held hostage by stakeholders over its inability to present original result sheets.

The stakeholders and panel members were engaged in a a shouting match on Sunday at the PDP’s Secretariat at Udoka.

The development emerged when the panel members claimed to have left the result sheets in the hotel room.

The panel members had instructed National Assembly aspirants and others to assemble at Secretariat for briefing.

But they only came with photo copies of the results sheets.

The development did not go down well with the stakeholders, who insisted that they must bring the original result sheets.

They accused the panel members of trying to run away to Abuja to write names of their choice.

But Jibrin Ahmed cited security reasons for not coming with the original result sheets, a claim which was disputed by the stakeholders.

The governorship candidate of PDP during the November 6 election, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, appealed to members for calm, offering his personal security and vehicles to take the chairman to his hotel room to bring the original result sheets.

However, Ahmed declined the offer, insisting that he must go alone .
