Secondus said “We want to advise INEC to be careful because it is too quick to respond and explain, and that is a huge trick.

 “We have seen your trick in Osun state but we are not convinced because the mandate of INEC is to conduct a free and fair election.

 “We will continue to hammer that this one important election in the history of our country cannot be rigged.

“We shouted aloud that foreigners were entering into our country, but they had no answer to it because we have the evidence. 

“And in today’s papers, they said the opposition are bringing in foreigners.

” I want to challenge Lai Mohammed to bring his evidence or bury his head in shame as usual, because you can’t raise issues without evidence. 

“We have evidence of two governors from Niger attending a rally in Kano. If you have evidence against the opposition, come out with your evidence.”
