The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of
the Saturday governorship election in Kaduna State, Punch
reports.
PDP agent, Jerry Ishaya stated this at the State Collation
Centre saying the result did not reflect the true votes cast at the
polls.
Ishaya said the party has rejected the outcome of the polls
entirely. This is coming after collation of all the votes from the
state where APC’s Nasir El-Rufai has won 15 of the 23 LGAs.
He explained that the party’s agents in Kaduna South, Kaduna
North, Soba, Kabau, Lere and Zaria local government areas of the
state told the party’s leadership that card readers were not used
during the election.
Ishaya accused security agents and officials of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) of conniving to steal people’s
mandate.
“We have formally written the INEC that card readers were not
used in those local government areas mentioned. Our agents told us
how security agents overpowered them in some areas. The results
were manipulated in collaboration with the INEC, security agents,”
Ishaya said.
