The Kaduna State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Forum of Governorship Candidates in the State under the auspices of Rescue and Rebuild Gubernatorial Candidates Forum, have rejected the results of the just-concluded governorship election in the State where the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Uba Sani, was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
PDP, while rejecting the results, according to Comrade Danjuma Sarki, who was the party’s agent at the Collation Centre, averred that the election was marred by irregularities and very contentious figures, and refused to append his signature to the result sheets as collated and announced.
In an interview with newsmen shortly after the declaration and announcement of the winner by the State Governorship Collation Officer, Professor Lawal Suleiman Bilbis, Comrade Sarki said, “I totally reject this result, because it’s not a true reflection of the mandate of the people of Kaduna State as expressed at various polling units on 18th of March, 2023.
Similarly, at a joint press conference yesterday night, seven governorship candidates comprising that of Young Progressives Party (YPP), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Action Peoples Party (APP), National Rescue Movement (NRM), Action Alliance (AA), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Action Democratic Party (ADP), alleged that there was massive cancellation of votes in most local government areas of the State.
The chairman of the Governorship Candidates Forum, Amb. Sanin Yaya, who was the governorship candidate of YPP, said they will engage legal means to fight to logical conclusion for the right thing to be done by the INEC
The message, which was signed by Amb. Sanin Yaya, of the Kaduna State Chairman Rescue and Rebuild Gubernatorial Candidate Forum, was copied to the Commissioner of Police, Kaduna State Command, the GOC 1 Mechanized Division, Kaduna, the Director, State Security Service, Kaduna State Command, the Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC),, Kaduna State Command, the State Commissioner, Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC), Kaduna Office.
