We Are Rejecting INEC’s Result In Katsina State – PDP

PDP has rejected the results of the governorship and state assembly elections in Katsina state

PDP chairman in the state and deputy governorship candidate, Salisu Majigiri said the results are not the will of the people.

He said, “On behalf of the governorship candidate, Senator Yakubu Lado, myself as the deputy governor, the state house of assembly candidates and the PDP hereby rejected the result because the voters turn out yesterday was very poor. There was low voter turnout yesterday (Saturday) in Katsina compare to the Presidential election. But from the figure we are receiving now, the INEC is trying to announce the figures that are not the real figures and not the will of the people.

“We have so far received 30 out of 34 local government areas. So we have compare with the result that we are having with us as brought to us by our agents. There are so many discrepancies between the results been announced at the INEC headquarters and that with us. So we have rejected the results in totality and we are not going to accept the result that INEC is going to collate.

“So we are rejecting the result even before the announcement by INEC. We don’t have the authority to announce our own results but we have the figures and we will make it public after INEC announcement.

“For instance in Zango local government area, our party agents were chased away by security agents because they cannot win such areas without force. In Kaita, the result was collated in INEC office.

“We are going to take constitutional measures. There is a provision in the constitution, the electoral law which when you are not satisfied with the process, you have your ways to challenge the outcome,”
