The Kano State chapter of the Coalition of United Political
Parties, CUPP, is set to challenge Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje in court over his victory in the gubernatorial election.
The state’s Chairman of the CUPP, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi
Raji stated this while addressing journalists on the outcome of the rerun
election that saw Ganduje of the All Progressives Congress (APC) victorious.
Raji said the coalition, comprising 42 political parties,
had concluded arrangements to take legal action regarding the election.
He said: “Thuggery and vote-buying were reported in almost
all the polling units where the re-run was conducted. There were also reports
of loss of lives and other election malpractices under the watch of INEC and
security officials.
“It is evident that INEC and security agencies were
compromised. It is clear that the level of violence recorded during the March
9, gubernatorial election that led to the cancellation of some polling units is
far less than what was recorded during the 23rd March rerun poll, yet the
electoral body turned a blind eye on the happenings by accepting and announcing
the results.
“To our dismay, the worst disheartening issue is that card
reader was not used during the election,” he alleged.
