The All Progressives Congress, APC, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to provide list of accredited observers ahead of Saturday’s rerun election in Kano State.
The ruling party filed the request on Wednesday in a statement signed by Kano State chairman, Abdullahi Abbas Sanusi
APC also requested for card readers of local government areas in the state in order to guard against electoral malpractices.
The statement read in part: “Sequel to the compelling evidences available to this party on the alleged multiple and over voting in the March 9th governorship election in some Local Government Areas of Kano State.
“It becomes imperative for us to request the card reader data of LGAs to enable us to compare with the declared result to ascertain the level of electoral malpractices.
“Information available to the APC suggests that a particular party is employing tactics of using people masquerading as observers to rig election in proposed rerun election.
“It is on this note that we request the names and pictures of accredited observers posted to Kano.”
