The Adamawa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has threatened to boycott the supplementary governorship election in the state, if INEC insisted on conducting it on Thursday. The party made its decision known on Wednesday in a statement issued by the State Organizing Secretary of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Lawan.
According to NAN, the party said it was not favorably disposed to the date communicated to it by the leadership of Independent National Electoral Commission.
“We are not going to participate in the election if INEC is going to conduct it on Thursday.
“I don’t know why INEC is rushing, as conducting this election on Thursday will disenfranchise many voters, particularly workers and students who need to go to work and schools,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the State Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party in Adamawa, Mr. Tahir Shehu, whose candidate (Ahmadu Fintiri) is leading with a difference of over 30,000 votes, said they were ready for the election.
