Announcing Ibrahim Shekerau As Winner Of Senate Election ‘Wrong’, ‘Defective’.. We’ll Stop Him From Stealing Our Mandate – Kano NNPP

 Kano state NNPP has submitted that the party will not allow Senator Ibrahim Shekerau  to retain his parliament seat this year despite getting  announced as winner  of the  Kano Central Senate election which was held on Saturday.

 The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Senator Ibrahim Shekarau as winner of the senate election.

It will be recalled that  Shekerau,  a one-time governor of Kano state,  had left the NNPP  for  the  PDP after getting nominated as candidate for the senate election.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned the state NNPP Secretary, Hamisu Sadi Ali  in a statement issued  in Kano on Tuesday disclosed  that  the legal team of the party had  already begun  process to reclaim their mandate.

 He expressed surprise that in spite of  the court orders directing the commission to replace Shekarau’s name ,who had  officially withdrawn his candidacy, and decamped from the party, INEC went ahead to declare  Shekerau  as winner of the senate election instead of  Rufai Hanga.

 ‘It is evidentially clear that Ibrahim Shekarau has officially decamped from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to PDP and he has also withdrawn his candidacy through correspondence to INEC and the party in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022 (as amended),

We had  conducted primary election within 14 days as stipulated by the Electoral Act after informing INEC of our decision to do so which produced Sen. Hanga as candidate for  Kano Central Senate election.

We are however appealing to our teeming supporters, across the state to remain calm, as our legal team has commenced processes to reclaim our mandate’ the  statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
