Mr Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to give the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) undue advantage in Bauchi governorship election.
Nabena, who made the call in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said that the opposition party should forget its dream of taking over the governorship of Bauchi state.
He said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a question to answer on the Bauchi governorship polls.
Nabena said if not that there was a grand plot to rig out Gov. Mohammed Abubakar, how come APC won 21 State House of Assembly seats compared to PDP’s five seats in the election conducted on the same day.
He said the report of non-usage of card readers in Bauchi Local Government Area was a major issue that should not be disregarded by the INEC.
The APC chieftain said the opposition PDP knew that if re-run election was organised, it would lose the election to APC.
“Maybe the opposition felt that if that position had not been taken by INEC, they would have won, but that is not the issue, the issue of election is not about winning or losing.
“It is about having a free and fair election, so it is the free and fair conduct of the election that matters to all of us and to the whole world.
“I say so because if the election is not free and fair there will be no issue of inconclusive; it must be concluded,” Nabena stressed.
