PDP wants INEC to cancel Kano supplementary election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fixed Saturday, March 23, 2019, for the election which it earlier declared as inconclusive.

According to Daily Post, the acting chairman of PDP in Kano, Alhaji Rabiu Suleiman Bichi, while speaking to newsmen, said thugs have taken over all the polling units in the state.

Bichi also described the ongoing supplementary governorship election in the state as a charade.

He said “What we have in Kano is nothing but sham”.

“The ruling party in the state, APC, has mobilized thugs to take over all the 208 polling units in the state.

“These thugs are imported from Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Plateau and other neighboring states.”
