THE Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, who is also the All Progressives Congress, APC leader in Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, says the party has uncovered some sinister plans by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ), in the state to rig the general polls scheduled to commence in less than a fortnight. This is contained in a statement signed by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, Bashir Rabe Mani, Dan Masanin and issued to Newsmen in Sokoto. The statement said Senator Wamakko who represents Sokoto North Senatorial District, made the disclosure on Saturday, during the flag off of the campaigns in Gwadabawa and Illela towns, headquarters of Gwabadawa and Illela Local Governments, respectively. According to Senator Wamakko “part of the hatchet was to buy off the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), from the unsuspecting electorate, especially women, across the state. Speaking further ” We are aware of this heinous move and we are therefore calling on eligible voters in the state to be wary of these anti-democratic and unscrupulous elements.
