The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Collation Agent in Kaduna State, Danjuma Bello Sarki, has explained why he refused to sign the result declaring Uba Sani of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as Governor-elect.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Sani polled a total of 730,002 votes to defeat his closest rival, Isa Ashiru of the PDP, who polled 719,196 votes.
The Labour Party (LP) candidate, Jonathan Asake came a distant third after polling 58,283 votes while the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidate, Suleiman Hunkuyi scored 21,405 votes.
Sarki refused to sign the result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday night.
He argued that the number of canceled votes across the state during the gubernatorial election, were more than the winning margin which gave victory to the APC Candidate.
The State Collation Officer, Professor Lawal Suleiman Bilbis, explained that, majority of the cancelled votes were as a result of over-voting, which renders the votes from such polling units invalid.
