The governorship candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger State, Liman Kantigi has vowed that the party will not allow the rigging of the March 11 governorship election in the state.
Addressing journalists in Minna, 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 Ahmed Tinubu.
He, however, pledged that the governorship poll in the North-Central stated 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.

“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.”
While expressing optimism about his victory at the forthcoming Saturday governorship poll, the two-time local government Chairman in the state emphasised that the election is an opportunity for the people of the state to re-write the wrong of the past eight years of APC administration in the state.
