ZAMFARA BYE-ELECTION: APC APPRECIATES ELECTORATE.

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed appreciation to the electorate for their resilience during Saturday’s State House of Assembly bye-election in Kaura Namoda South Constituency.

The APC Publicity Secretary in Zamfara State, Yusuf Idris Gusau, stated this in a statement noted that, despite what he described as threats and intimidation, the people of the constituency turned out in large numbers to exercise their franchise.

Yusuf Gusau commended the electorate for remaining focused in what he called a tense and tough electoral process, while also acknowledging the contributions of the party leaders, particularly former Governor Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, for their support and encouragement.

"No doubt, the election was tough, tensed, and conducted under very harsh conditions as the government in power used all its illegal machinery to threaten and harass the electorate, yet the people remained focused and resilient" he alleged 

According to him, the bye-election results so far reflect the continued acceptance of the APC by the people, stressing that the outcome indicates dissatisfaction with the present administration in the state.

Mr. Idris said although the election was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the party remains optimistic that the INEC will uphold the people’s mandate.

"Although the agents of manipulation are currently working frantically to overturn the results, which was declared inconclusive, we are confident that the electoral umpire, INEC will not allow itself to be drawn in such mess again"

The APC further called on its members, supporters, and the general public to remain calm as the electoral process continues, assuring that any attempt to subvert the will of the people will be resisted.

The party also appreciated voters in Kyambarawa, Banga, Sakajiki, Kurya, Dan-Isa, and Kagara wards for their turnout despite alleged intimidation.
