Ganduje plans to rig Kano guber and Fagge supplementary elections, NNPP cries out
By Ahmad Deedat Zakari
The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, have raised concerns over the alleged plot by Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, to rig the incoming gubernatorial election and supplementary election in the state.
The Chairman of Kano NNPP, Umar Haruna Doguwa, made the disclosure in a press statement on Sunday.
Mr Doguwa appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, the International Community and the Security agencies to foil Ganduje’s plan.
He alleged that Ganduje’s interest goes beyond election rigging, but the total breakdown of law and order in the state is also among his evil machinations.
Part of the statement reads:
“The Kano State NNPP has noticed that some attempts are being made by unscrupulous elements in conjunction with some INEC officials to manipulate the collated results as we also noticed improper conduct by some INEC ad hoc staff. We, therefore, call on Presidency, security agencies, election observers, and the international community to beam their searchlight on INEC, especially on the concluded position to conduct supplementary election in the 15 affected polling units at Fagge. Any shift, either in a number of the polling units or continued cancellation of other polling units, will meet our stiff resistance.
“We are also aware that plans are being nursed and sponsored by the State government to cause a total break down of law and order in the state during the upcoming gubernatorial and state assembly elections. While we call on security agencies to take adequate measures on this, otherwise, we as a party and citizens of Kano State have the capacity to defend ourselves and our votes.”
