Investigation Reveals Evidence of Election Manipulation but No Action Taken

Rufai Hanga, a senator-elect in Kano representing the NNPP party, has revealed that the party was aware of the manipulation of the election results. According to him, NNPP should have won Jigawa state in addition to Kano, but the results were tampered with. He further stated that in some polling units, the logos for both the Labour Party and NNPP were missing from the ballot papers in the core North. Hanga said: “The reality is that we won in Kano and we would have won in Jigawa but this election was compromised. They manipulated the results. And let me tell you one of the worst things that happened in the election is that the NNPP logo and the other party which is the Labour Party logo were missing some ballot paper in the core North. The ones that have the logos are shady and blurry, you can’t even know what is there. We don’t know the people who instigated this agenda. We sat and met and decided not to bother ourselves, we don’t want problem for the country.”
