The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Kano State yesterday launched into a war of words with each side accusing the other of rigging in the elections.
The NNPP presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwanso, fired the first salvo when he accused the APC of vote-buying and rigging in the state.
But spokesman for the APC governorship campaign council , Muhammad Garba, said NNPP was sharing fake results to cover up its failure in the election.
Garba, therefore, urged the people of the state to disregard the fake results.
He said: “With the result of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections showing the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in early lead in Kano, the party has called on its members, supporters and the public to be wary of unauthenticated election results been circulated by the opposition New Nigeria People’s Party with a view to inciting violence.
“The NNPP, apparently sensing defeat, shared the fake results to deceive the unsuspecting public that the election might have been rigged.
“We called the people in the state to await the outcome of the election from official channels and not allow themselves to be used to cause trouble.”
