Katsina PDP Rejects Bye-Election Outcome, Vows To Petition Election Tribunal
The Katsina State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party has vowed to challenge the results of Saturday’s Katsina North Senatorial zone bye-election.
It vowed to take its case to the election tribunal.
The state chairman of the party, Salisu Majigiri, made the declaration yesterday in a telephone interview with our correspondent.
He alleged that the bye-election was fraught with “vote-buying, coercion and other discrepancies,” which he said would be revealed at the election tribunal.
Majigiri likened the bye-election to what he said allegedly happened during the recent Ekiti State governorship election, insisting that the development did not augur well for the development of democracy in Nigeria.
He said, “We reject the results of the bye-election in totality. The election was fraught with vote buying, using of government officials to coerce traditional rulers, and all sorts of discrepancies that we shall disclose at election tribunal.
“What happened at the bye-election was like what happened during the Ekiti State governorship election and all these do not augur well for the development of democracy in Nigeria.
“We are challenging the results at the tribunal, as we cannot allow all these to happen in the 2019 general elections.”
