Chairman of Katsina State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Salisu Yusuf Maijigiri, has told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, the Nigeria’s Capital that the Presidential candidate of his party, Atiku Abubakar won the February 23 election by 905,000 against 872,000 votes polled by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari.
Testifying before the Tribunal today, July 9, Salisu Yusuf said that the 1, 555, 633 votes credited to Buhari was not the true reflection of what transpired on the election day, maintaining that the figure was just allocated.
He alleged that agents of PDP in the 34 local government areas of the state were chased away while the ad-hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were substituted with untrained ones used to produce fake results in the state.
Salisu Yusuf Maijigiri insisted that PDP won in Katsina State with 905,000 votes while APC came second with 872,000 votes from the result collated by his party.
