The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare its candidate as winner of the Governorship election in Kano State.
PDP made this known in a statement made available to Igbere TV on Saturday.
The statement reads,
“#SupplementaryElections: We call on the @inecnigeria to immediately declare our candidate, @EngrAbbaKYusuf as the winner of the Kano Governorship election, having scored the highest number of lawful votes and secured the statutory 25% in two-third of the state.”
“Our call is predicated on the fact that, no valid voting held on the March 23 Kano Supplementary elections and therefore no figures can be fabricated from the exercise to displace @EngrAbbaKYusuf’s leading margin of over 26, 000 votes.”
“@inecnigeria is already aware that its supplementary election in Kano was completely disrupted by thugs contracted by the @OfficialAPCNg who invaded polling units and chased away voters.”
“The commission therefore cannot accept fabricated figures being bandied by the @OfficialAPCNg as results from the scuttled rerun”.
“The people of Kano state have since made up their minds to have @EngrAbbaKYusuf as their governor and any attempt by anybody to subvert their will as already expressed in the March 9 substantive poll will surely attract the legitimate anger of the masses.”
“We therefore call on @inecnigeria to immediately do the needful by respecting the will of the people as freely expressed on March 9 and announce @EngrAbbaKYusuf, as the winner of the election, having fulfilled the demands of Section 179 (2) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).”
