The Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State says it will challenge the outcome of the October 19 Local Government election across the state in Court.
Recall the Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission declared candidates of All Progressives Congress winners of all the 23 chairmanship and 255 councilorship seats in the state.
But the PDP, in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Maria Dogo condemned what it described as clandestine swearing-in of the 23 local government council Chairmen in the state by Gov. Uba Sani, saying the exercise was a shame and an attack on the nation’s democracy.
The statement added that the supposed law provided the faulty basis for the corrupt, insane, and poorly executed political brigandage by “Gov Uba Sani, the APC, and their shameless KADSIECOM Chairperson, Haj. Hajara Mohammed.
“KADSIECOM shamelessly declared APC the winner of the 23 chairmanship and 255 councillorship seats in an election that never took place.
“We promise to pursue this case up to the Supreme Court to ensure justice and protect democracy in Kaduna State.”
It advised those it described as “conscripted council chairmen whose stay in office would be short-lived”, that they would be held accountable for any mismanagement of local government funds.
