An alarm has been raised by Kano State Government over credible information it allegedly received on planned use of suspected election observers by members of the opposition New Nigeria Peoples Party in the state to perpetrate a network of election rigging during and after the conduct of tomorrow’s governorship and state house of assembly elections.
The allegations were made in a state issued by the Kano State commissioner for information and internal affairs, Muhammad Garba yesterday.
He alleged that the NNPP has perfected plans to use bogus election observers to infiltrate polling centres to influence unsuspecting voters and collation centres with a view to having access to the place to commit election malfeasance.
He said out of desperation, the NNPP has cloned the identity of accredited observers by the Independent National Electoral Commission for more than 150 of its members in the metropolitan area to execute the reprehensible act.
Garba, therefore, called on the public to report any of such imposters to the police and also called security agencies to decisively dealt with the situation
