PDP rejects Katsina gov'ship and House assembly results






The Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the result of the March 18 governorship and house of assembly elections held in Katsina State 

The party said it will follow all the necessary legal procedure to ensure that the injustices meted to the party's candidate during the governorship and house of assembly elections are addressed.

The Director General of the Campaign Council, Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa disclosed this at a press conference held at the party's campaign office on Monday.

 “We have totally rejected the result of the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in Katsina State, and we will challenge the result in court in order to retrieve our mandate,” Inuwa said.

According to Inuwa, the elections were marred by voters intimidation in conjunction with some security agents and INEC personnel.

Inuwa also alleged that the state government directed all workers, traditional and religious leaders to ensure APC  win or face the consequences. 

According to the former APC Chieftain, with the way and manner the elections were conducted in the state, democracy has been dragged back by 40 years.

He however noted that irrespective of the blackmail and intimidations, it would not deter them from pursuing justice and seeing that a healthy Democratic process is instituted in the state.
