The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State has rejected the presidential results for the state announced in Kano by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The party’s Agent at the collation centre, Alhaji Rabiu Sulaiman-Bichi, who is also the state PDP Chairman, alleged on Tuesday that the figures were inflated.

According to Prof. Magaji Garba, the collation officer of the INEC for the presidential election in Kano, Buhari won 1,464,768 votes while Atiku got 391,593 votes.

Sulaiman-Birchi said, “We cannot accept such an inflated figures and that is our stand, so we will go back and analyse the issue to know the next line of action to take.

“As you can see, the presiding officers complained of lack of use of card readers during the voting exercise of the presidential and national assembly elections in the state coupled with over-voting.

“We shall look at the circumstances and provisions of the law and see what the law says so as to pursue our rights,” he said.
