Maku calls for cancellation of Nasarawa election

The ​gubernatorial ​candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance in Nasarawa​ State and a former minister of information and communications under president Jonathan, Labaran Maku, has called for the cancellation of elections in the state.

The APGA candidate Maku made the call on Sunday through Nghargbu K’tso, the media director of his campaign organisation.

Mr. K’tso, at a press conference in Lafia on Friday, alleged that there was massive rigging in the election, therefore, it should be cancelled.

“Massive rigging through ballot box snatching, compromised INEC and Security Agencies, informed our call for cancellation of results in Lafia, Nasarawa, Doma, Karu and Toto,” Mr. K’tso said.

​Mr. Maku came second in the election held Saturday, as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, incumbent governor, Tanko Almakura, was declared winner.
