    Kaduna Poll: We’ll Reclaim Lost Mandate At Tribunal — PDP

    The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State has appealed to its supporters across Kaduna State to be calm and assured that it would soon reclaim the governorship mandate at the Election Petition Tribunal.

    Abraham Alberah Catoh, the Publicity Secretary, PDP Kaduna State in a statement, stated that “it is often said that no matter how long the night tarries, morning would come.”

    According to him, “Uba Sani, therefore, may continue to run or attempt to evade the judicial service of the governorship election petition by the PDP but can not hide.”

    “We thank the Kaduna State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal for granting our request for a substituted service to Uba Sani. When you conspire to thwart the outcome of an election against the choice of the people, you shouldn’t be afraid to defend the stolen mandate in court”.

    “We assure the people of the state of our resolve to recover the mandate freely given to our candidate and party in the March 18 governorship election.”

    “Let us continue to show support to the party, remain calm, and also pray that God will grant their Lordships the wisdom to continue to do the right thing always,” he stated.

    Kaduna Poll: Why PDP defeated APC in my polling unit – El-Rufai

    Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, did not manipulate the e-voting machines during the just concluded local government election in the state.

    El-Rufai said the Peoples Democratic Party’s victory in his polling unit in the local government elections showed that APC did not manipulate the e-voting machines.

    The governor, who spoke on Channels Television programme Sunrise Daily on Monday, said the election results show that people are finally making electoral choices based on the performance of their elected officials.

    El-Rufai said: “Those that reported that the machines were programmed were ashamed when it was reported that APC lost in my polling unit. People were laughing that I lost my polling unit, but it is democracy that won.

    “I’m not on the ballot, so it is not a referendum on me, it is a referendum on the councilor and the performance of the chairman of the local council.

    “The loss of my polling unit shows that we did not programme these machines; we did not influence our independent electoral commission, and the whole thing has worked very well.”
