A press statement, which Tahir signed and made available to SaharaReporters, reads in part: "We were reliably informed and we verily believed that APC Government of Adamawa State was boasting that Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State promised to assist them with thugs to invade Adamawa State with a view to manipulating the process of the rerun to ensure victory at their side at all costs.


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has uncovered the plans of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to violently disrupt the Adamawa State supplementary governorship election scheduled to hold on Thursday, March 28, 2019.

At an emergency briefing on Tuesday night in Yola, Barr. Tahir Alhaji Shehu, PDP Chairman in the state, alleged that governors Nasir el-Rufai and Abdullahi Ganduje of Kaduna and Kano states respectively, were coordinating to import thugs to Adamawa state during the supplementary polls.

A press statement, which Tahir signed and made available to SaharaReporters, reads in part: "We were reliably informed and we verily believed that APC Government of Adamawa State was boasting that Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State promised to assist them with thugs to invade Adamawa State with a view to manipulating the process of the rerun to ensure victory at their side at all costs.

"In view of the afore-stated, therefore, we find it necessary to draw the attention of all security agencies to take note and put eyes on this issue."

He also charged the electorate in the 44 polling units affected by the supplementary polls to be calm, and to turn out in their large numbers to confirm the PDP candidate, Ahmed Umar Fintiri, as the next Governor.

But Mohammed Abdullahi, Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, dismissed the allegations, saying: "Since we came on board, we have never used thugs, not even during campaigns.

"I think by this frivolous accusation, PDP has simply exposed its plans of employing the services of Nyesom Wike and Samuel Ortom who are known for violence to achieve victory at all cost. On our part, we are calling on our supporters, especially the youth, to conduct themselves peacefully because elections are temporal."

Also adding his voice, Barr. Shagna Pwamaddi, APC Legal Adviser, said: "You can accuse Governor Bindow of anything but political thuggery. We'll have time to assess the allegation properly this night and respond tomorrow, especially considering the names mentioned in the allegation."

With how things stand, very difficult for APC to win.

Total number of registered voters in canceled units is 40,988.
Total collection PVC is 31,000.PDP leads with a margin of 32,476.
Let's see the magic APC wants to do to pull this off

Pdp stop this your stupid, lily livered complaints that do not change anything eventually. Are you guys incapacitated or what? Does APC has monopoly of mobilizing thugs? Can't you guys arrange your own thugs and stop behaving as if you guys pdp is a mushroom party?

The very security you are calling their attention are the ones that aided the macabre dance in Kano. You want them to play out Kano scenerio in Adammawa. Can you guys close your dirty mouth and act like the father of all political parties by raising your own thugs, and let Nigeria burn to pieces since that what the stupid man at Aso Rock wants?

Please let me here! You will be there and won't do anything until the power that's almost in your hands slip away!

If you don't do politics 101, go and learn it from Rivers state governor.

Let me hear!

Seeing the magic the rigging template has achieved in Osun, Kano and (hopefully) Rivers, i'm guessing the embattled Adamawa governor would have sent out an SOS to Ganduje, El-Rufai, Tinubu, Oshiomole and Amaechi!

These veterans are masters in the art of rigging and then turning round to blame PDP for any illegality that occurs on the day!
