The All-Progressives Congress in Kebbi State says the Independent National Electoral Commission was wrong to declare the governorship election in the state inconclusive and should have named its governorship candidate, Dr. Nasir Idris, winner.
Recall that that INEC Returning Officer, Prof. Yusuf Sa’idu, last week declared the results as inconclusive due to massive vote cancellation and over-voting in 20 out of the 21 local government areas in the state.
According to him, while the APC candidate scored 388,358, Mohammed Bande of the Peoples Democratic Party polled 342,980 – the margin between both been less than the cancelled votes, hence, the need for a re-run.
Reacting to the decision, Deputy Director-General of the APC Governorship Campaign Council in the state, Alhaji Abubakar Gari, kicked against the decision
He said there was no need to declare the elections inconclusive, adding that the APC candidate won fair and square.
