Zamfara APGA Guber Candidate Rejects April 11 Election Result

THE Zamfara state gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Alhaji Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi today rejected the results of the April 11, Zamfara State Sovernorship and House of Assembly elections announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) last Monday, describing it as an electoral conspiracy between APC-led government, INEC and security operatives in the state.

Addressing a press conference at his residence in Gusau, Zamfara State capital, the APGA Candidate said what happen on that day in does not qualify to be called an election but rather electoral coup executed by the governor Abdul’Azeez Yari Abubakar and APC in collaboration with the INEC and security agencies in the state.

He said after due consultations with APGA stakeholders in the state, the party resolved to challenge the election before the State governorship/House of Assembly election tribunal to seek for the cancellation of the elections, due to the massive rigging that dominated the election.

“APGA and the Wambai Campaign Committee 2015 (WAMCACO) reject the results of Zamfara State Governorship and State House of Assembly elections declared by INEC.

The outcome of the election results is unacceptable, this is because there were widespread fraud, conspiracy and collusion between INEC, the Police, the Military and Abdul’Azeez Yari regime, which led to criminal and large scale rigging,” he said.

Shinkafi also alleged that in some areas in large part of the state the Card Readers were not used which allowed for the manipulation of the elections.
