Liman Kantigi, the People Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Niger State, has declared that the upcoming governorship elections will be a different ball game.
Kantigi stated that, unlike the presidential election, the PDP in the state would not tolerate any form of rigging.
The PDP chieftain told pressmen in Minna, the state capital, that Nigerians are fully prepared for the local elections, and that the game will not be played as usual this time.
Kantigi, who claimed that the presidential election was rigged in favor of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Bola Tinubu, stated that they will not allow the BVAS Machine to be bypassed as they did last Saturday.
He stated that;
We will not allow any rigging of the governorship election on March 11, we will not allow the by-pass of the BVAS Machine like they did last Saturday.
We will defend our votes to the last point of collation. You cannot force the people to vote for you. What happened during the Presidential election cannot repeat itself. We will checkmate them; we will march them fire for fire.
What they did last Saturday they cannot have it again, we are fully prepared for any attempt to subvert the will of the people of Niger state come Saturday, March 11, 2023, because we will resist them. You cannot force yourself on the people.
Kantigi, a two-time local government chairman in the state, is confident of victory in the March 11 elections and encourages Nigerians to vote on Saturday.
