Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna
State has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, did not manipulate
the e-voting machines during the just concluded local government election in
the state.
El-Rufai said the Peoples
Democratic Party’s victory in his polling unit in the local government
elections showed that APC did not manipulate the e-voting machines.
The governor, who spoke on
Channels Television programme Sunrise Daily on Monday, said the election
results show that people are finally making electoral choices based on the
performance of their elected officials.
El-Rufai said: “Those that
reported that the machines were programmed were ashamed when it was reported
that APC lost in my polling unit. People were laughing that I lost my polling
unit, but it is democracy that won.
“I’m not on the ballot, so it is
not a referendum on me, it is a referendum on the councilor and the performance
of the chairman of the local council.
“The loss of my polling unit
shows that we did not programme these machines; we did not influence our
independent electoral commission, and the whole thing has worked very well.”
