President Muhammadu Buhari’s immediate past Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, has revealed in a video how the primary election of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in Kano State was allegedly rigged.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Ahmad lost his bid to secure the ticket of the APC for Gaya/Ajingi/Albasu constituency of Kano state in the House of Representatives.
The presidential aide lost to the incumbent lawmaker, Mahmud Gaya, who scored 109 votes against Ahmad’s 16 votes.
In a video shared on Twitter, two men were seen writing names of preferred aspirants on papers and handing them over to delegates to vote for during the APC primaries.
The delegates were captured as they collected the papers and inserted them in what is believed to be a ballot box.
In a tweet that accompanied the video, Ahmad noted that it would take a miracle for him to have scored one vote under such an arrangement.
He, however, vowed to pursue legal ways of reclaiming his mandate.
Ahmad wrote: “Just a glimpse of what happened during the so-called primaries in my constituency. Scoring a single vote must have even been a miracle.
“There are much more to what was seen here. Exploring all the possible and legal ways to reclaim our mandate.”
