The Niger State governorship candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP) Liman Kantigi says the party will not condone the rigging of the March 11 governorship election in the state.
Speaking to newsmen at the weekend, Kantigi said it was clear that last Saturday’s Presidential election was rigged in favour of the candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
Kantigi therefore vowed that the governorship poll in the North-Central state will be a different ball game as Nigerians are fully prepared for the local elections.
“We will not allow any rigging of the governorship election on March 11, we will not allow the by-pass of the BVAS Machine like they did last Saturday,” he stated.
“We will defend our votes to the last point of collation. You cannot force the people to vote for you. What happened during the Presidential election cannot repeat itself. We will checkmate them; we will march them fire for fire.
“What they did last Saturday they cannot have it again, we are fully prepared for any attempt to subvert the will of the people of Niger state come Saturday, March 11, 2023, because we will resist them. You cannot force yourself on the people.”
