PDP Rejects Kano Results, Insists Abba Yusuf Won The Election

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says its candidate, Abba K.
Yusuf, is the rightful winner of the Kano state governorship
election, stating that any declaration that does not reflect such
cannot stand.

This is according to a statement by its spokesman, Kola
Ologbondiyan.

The opposition party said that its candidate Abba Yusuf, won the
Kano state governorship election since March 9, 2019, having
fulfilled the constitutional requirement of securing the highest
number of votes and the statutory 25% in two-thirds of the
state.

However, the supplementary governorship election in Kano
overturned what would have been for them a victory.

Hence, the party described the supplementary polls as “a
national disgrace” and a mere figure allocating exercise by
compromised INEC officials, who collaborated with power drunk
politicians in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to award results
to the APC candidate”.

The party cautioned INEC against any attempt to alter figures,
noting that that will be a clear recipe for anarchy and a serious
crisis in the state.

PDP said that the people of Kano state have a long history of
firm resistance against corrupt and oppressive forces, adding that
the will of the Kano people must not be stretched in this
election.

The party stressed that no amount of machination can “cow or
force the Kano people to abandon their resolve for a new governor
in Abba Yusuf”.
