APC alleges plans to rig elections in Sokoto

The Sokoto State chapter of the All Progressives Congress said
it had uncovered plans by the state chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party to rig the forthcoming general elections.

A former governor of the state, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, who
represents Sokoto North Senatorial District, made the allegation at
the party’s campaign rallies in Gwadabawa and Illela towns,
headquarters of Gwabadawa and Illela Local Government Areas.

Wamakko said, “Part of the hatchet plan was to buy Permanent
Voter Cards from unsuspecting electorate, especially women, across
the state.

“There are also moves to use some fake eligible voters to mop up
all uncollected PVCs from the various offices of the Independent
National Electoral Commission across the 23 local government areas
of the state.

“We are aware of this heinous move and we are therefore calling
on eligible voters in the state to be wary of these anti-democratic
and unscrupulous elements.”
