This menace will not stop until electronic voting is implemented in Nigeria. Terrible things this election period.

Cars carrying ballot papers impounded in Kano State

Two cars conveying ballot papers have been impounded at Magwan Primary School, Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

According to an eyewitness identified as Shazal, the cars were impounded and taken to the Kano State police headquarters in Bompai.

Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES in a phone interview, Mr Shazal said, “Two cars drove to the back of the polling unit with ballot papers in their booths and two corp members entered the car. When people noticed their movements, they asked who they were, and the people claimed to be INEC officials.

“But the people did not believe them, and other people’s attention was called. After seeing the ballot papers, the police arrested the cars and towed them to the Kano state police headquarters in Bompai,” he said.

Today, Nigerians vote in their sixth general governorship and state assemblies elections since the country’s return to democracy in 1999.

Voters in 29 states would elect governors while new state assemblies will be elected in the 36 states.

There are no governorship elections in Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, Bayelsa, Kogi, Anambra and Osun because the tenures of their governors are yet to expire.

However, the governorship polls in Kano could determine the political careers of a former governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the incumbent governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Although there are 54 governorship candidates in Kano, the contest is really between Mr Ganduje of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and Mr Kwankwaso’s anointed candidate, Abba Yusuf, contesting under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The PDP lost the presidential and all senatorial seats in Kano during the February 23 elections. So, the opposition party must give all it has to today’s election.

This is how Buhari won in Kano. Riggers

Kano sai Abba

Gandalor work apc

Maybe this is how they won last two weeks election

APC/Gandollar too lyk ojoro....y is it kano all d time

...Issa Normal Sturvs!
Gandolar Making Gud Use Of His Dollar!...Na So Them Take Rig Am For Buhari!

Kano be damned if Gandollars wins this election. As it stands, the PDP candidate is leading in most local government areas contacted and people are already celebrating in some areas.
The police at some point had to come and disperse the crowd celebrating on the streets.

TRADEFAIRng:

Even with electronic voting the story will remain the same. The politicians will find ways around it. The truth is that we are not mature enough for these processes. For me option A4 adopted in 1993 remains the best. Face to face as I call it or see me I see you. It is fool proof and tamper proof. It will eliminate irregularities. The politicians know it but they will never accept because they always want to cheat.

WTF! This country is far from democracy, the form of government we have at best is a form of government that is called "Buharitocracy"

Good thing

Awon eeyan Gandollar

Wow! If that's you in the picture, for you I'll say everything. Expect live updates on same post.

I was hoping to see ballot papers, all I saw was few boxes

The North is also rigging!

Heard PDP is leading in Kano & Kaduna

DedeNkem:
The North is also rigging!

The North has always rigged.

They say they are more than us and yet need child voters

The option A4 served us in 1993 (for those of us born before then #smiles ) , but the truth is that the world has moved on. Adopting it again is tantamount to two steps backward and in the wrong direction. Not to mention the attendant risk and enmity it would occasion in the society. Verily i say to You, this is electronic age. Every facet of our society is going digital. All it would take is the technological know-how which i am sure we have in abundance in our country.
