– The PDP Katsina Chapter has rejected election result in the state over irregularities

– The state APC chapter however disclosed it is not aware of any irregularity 

Following the closure of the Katsina collation center, the party agent of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alh. Salisu Majigiri has rejected the election result of the state over irregularities.

According to the PDP party agent, the party rejected the election results over regularities which border on over voting, use of uncustomized electoral materials in some local government areas in the state which marred the electoral process.

Alh. Salisu  Majigiri in his statement claimed that the party raised so many objections during the collation of results but they were overruled.

He however disclosed the next line of action the party would follow which is to take “the issue to Abuja where the result is going to be collected. We have send a report to our National headquarters of the party that this is the way election is conducted in Katsina. We are not satisfied, we are rejecting the result entirely.”
