Abuja - Former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has called on the
Peoples Democratic (PDP) leadership to cancel the governorship primary
election in Nasarawa State due to alleged irregularities.
Maku’s call is contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the Director of Publicity, Maku Campaign Organisation, Zakari Edege.
Maku,
a governorship aspirant in the state, wondered why there were separate
delegates lists for the conduct of State and National Assembly primaries
and the governorship primary”, said the statement.
Maku in the
statement also alleged that the conduct of the primary election did not
conform with the established guidelines as the number of ballot papers
exceeded the number of delegates in Nasarawa state.
He complained that threat and coercion were used to prevent delegates from freely expressing their choice.
He noted that voting commenced late and went into the night thereby exposing delegates to danger.
“It
is on this premise that I urge you most respectfully to use your good
and exalted office to intervene by canceling the governorship primary
election held in Nasarawa State”, it said.
“I also urge you to
conduct another primary election so as to ensure that a free and fair
election is conducted in the state”, the statement said.
