Supplementary Elections Are Holding In Our Strongholds – Abba Yusuf

The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State, Abba Yusuf has expressed confidence in his victory at the supplementary elections slated for March 23rd.

In a statement by his Spokesman, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, Yusuf said the ruling APC tampered with the process of results collation to steer up an unwanted situation.

“Kano people have seen glaringly, how the enemies of democracy who are high ranking officials of the state Government, including serving Deputy Governor, Nasiru Gawuna, Commissioner Murtala Garo and Nassaraw Local Government Chairman Lamin Sani Kawaji vandalized an election collation centre with a sole aim of truncating the declaration process to deny PDP’s victory,” the statement read.

“It is our prayer that all election offenders would be charged to courts at the earliest best time to serve as a deterrence for all anti democracy. We call on all supporters to remain calm, we are known to be peace lovers and so we shall remain, as we are very sure of victory during the rerun.

“Our supporters should not forget that PDP is already leading in the last count of the election and interestingly, the bye election would take place in the strongest areas of our party.”

Meanwhile, the APC candidate, Abdullahi Ganduje has also said the APC has re-strategised and is prepared for the supplementary elections. In a statement released by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, h said the PDP will be left bemused by what will hit it.

Ganduje said the loopholes that made rigging possible have been blocked and said preparations are in top gear to ensure elections are free, fair and credible.

‘’APC as a party has also re-strategized and very confident of victory because the local government areas where the rerun will take place remain the APC stronghold and the electorate in these areas have made up their mind to vote massively for the Governor they trust,” he said.

‘’The modest achievements recorded so far by the Ganduje Administration have touched the lives of the people in all sectors of development and and also remain determined to continue if returned.”
