The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned those attempting to reenact the Kano rigging template in the Governorship Supplementary election in Adamawa state, that they will do so at their own peril.
The
PDP alleged that it has full details of how the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has hired thugs and miscreants from other states with
instructions to cause confusion, invade polling units, disrupt the
electoral process, snatch ballot boxes, engage in ballot stuffing and
assist the APC to allocate votes for its candidate, with the assistance
of compromised INEC and security agents.
The national publicity
secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said PDP has also been made aware of “how
the APC has cloned Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), which they plan to use
to manipulate the process for their candidate.”
Ologbondiyan in a
statement told “APC and its thugs to bear in mind that there is no way
they can be allowed to repeat the evil they committed in Kano in
Adamawa State.
‘Our field agents, who have been at alert, have
full knowledge of the planned movements of the APC thugs and our members
and supporters are ready to resist them and use all means, necessary
and legitimate, to defend our votes, even in this supplementary
election.”

The PDP said
that by law, it’s candidate, Ahmed Fintiri, has since March 9, 2019, won
the Adamawa state governorship election, having scored the highest
number of valid votes and secured the statutory 25% in two-third of the
state.
“This validates the known fact that Adamawa state is home
to the PDP and this supplementary election, though unnecessary, will
reinforce our victory.
“The party therefore directs our teeming
members and supporters to come out en-mass to vote and defend their
votes from the polling unit to collation and the final announcement of
results.

inducements by the APC to manipulate the process, as such is capable of
pitching the people against the commission,” the statement added
