“We did not collect bribes to rig Elections In Zamfara State” – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied allegations that it is abetting a plot to rig the governorship and state house of assembly elections in Zamfara State.
In a statement by Garba Galadima, the HOD of Voter Education and Publicity in Zamfara, the commission said, “The recent allegation was on the provision of all the result sheets of the governorship and state house of assembly elections coming up on 9th March 2019, to a particular political party. The commission hereby debunk the claim as unfounded, mischievous and baseless.”
INEC said it would invite agents of political parties fielding candidates, all governorship candidates, security agencies, and the media to witness the distribution of the sensitive materials to the electoral officers from various local government areas on Wednesday. It further denied the allegation that the hotel bills of the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Zamfara, Dr Asmau Maikudi, was being settled by the state government.
