The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has dismissed the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP)\u2019s allegation on the importation of political thugs from neighbouring states.<\/p>\n
The Acting State Chairman of the PDP, Rabiu Sulaiman-Bichi, had at a news conference, alleged that the ruling APC in the state had imported thugs from some neighbouring states.<\/p>\n
The APC state chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, dismissed the allegation while addressing a news conference in Kano on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He said the allegation against the ruling APC was not only untrue and unfounded but a calculated attempt to dent the image of the party and the state government.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can we bring or invite people from other states to come to Kano, while we have people here, considering the population of Kano,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disregard the call for the cancellation of the re-run governorship election and ensure that the election is concluded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are calling on INEC to ensure the successful completion of the exercise.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is unfortunate that the PDP chairman called for the cancellation of the election, while the election is still ongoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a clear indication that they are afraid of losing the election, otherwise, why should he call for the cancellation of the election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had done its homework by mobilising its supporters to come out and vote.<\/p>\n
The APC chairman, however, called on residents of the state to remain calm and await the announcement of final results.<\/p>\n
