Only One Party Contested Kano LG Poll – Kwankwaso

Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, lawmaker representing Kano Central, has alleged that “only one party” contested the Kano Local Government election.The February 10 election, which was marred with allegation of underage voting, was overwhelmingly won by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Speaking in an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show on Friday, Kwankwaso said the alleged underage voting was possible because no other party contested in the election.

According to him, if such happens in the 2019 elections, other political parties chase out the underage voters.

“In all elections, there should be more than one party contesting. If you have more than one party, then party A will not Allow part B to do any form of mago mago, especially the issue of people who are below 18,” Kwankwaso said.

“In 2019, if you go there, no child will go close to any ballot box because if you are coming to vote for A, B will say get out of this place.

“But those ones, I think they were invited to go and thumbprint because the real people were not there, the Kwakwansiya and the PDP weren’t there.

“This is the first time I can see only children on the line or queue trying to vote I am seeing the type of thing that is happening.

Speaking on the APC performance so far, the ex-Kano governor said: “So far so good, the administration is doing its best, so also the party.

“But I hope the government and our party should do much more than what we have seen in the last three years so that by 2019, the good people of this country can come out again and vote for our candidates from the councillorship up to the position of president under the party.

“This last one year is very crucial for the party, the government and the country.”
