The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned those attempting to reenact the Kano rigging template in the Governorship Supplementary election in Adamawa state, that they will do so at their own peril.
The PDP alleged that it has full details of how the All Progressives Congress (APC) has hired thugs and miscreants from other states with instructions to cause confusion, invade polling units, disrupt the electoral process, snatch ballot boxes, engage in ballot stuffing and assist the APC to allocate votes for its candidate, with the assistance of compromised INEC and security agents.
The national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said PDP has also been made aware of “how the APC has cloned Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), which they plan to use to manipulate the process for their candidate.”
Ologbondiyan in a statement told “APC and its thugs to bear in mind that there is no way they can be allowed to repeat the evil they committed in Kano in Adamawa State.
‘Our field agents, who have been at alert, have full knowledge of the planned movements of the APC thugs and our members and supporters are ready to resist them and use all means, necessary and legitimate, to defend our votes, even in this supplementary election.”

The PDP said that by law, it’s candidate, Ahmed Fintiri, has since March 9, 2019, won the Adamawa state governorship election, having scored the highest number of valid votes and secured the statutory 25% in two-third of the state.
“This validates the known fact that Adamawa state is home to the PDP and this supplementary election, though unnecessary, will reinforce our victory.
“The party therefore directs our teeming members and supporters to come out en-mass to vote and defend their votes from the polling unit to collation and the final announcement of results.The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned those attempting to reenact the Kano rigging template in the Governorship Supplementary election in Adamawa state, that they will do so at their own peril.

“The PDP also charges INEC officials to note and respect the will of the people of Adamawa state and resist all inducements by the APC to manipulate the process, as such is capable of pitching the people against the commission,” the statement added
