An aspirant in the governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Adamawa State, Abdulrahman Haske, has raised concerns over the conduct of the exercise, citing alleged irregularities in the process.
The party’s governorship primary, held on Friday, produced former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund, Ahmed Galadima, as the winner.
The result was announced in Yola by the chairman of the governorship primary election committee, Prof. Innocent Bariko.
However, in a statement issued on Saturday by his campaign Publicity Secretary, Abdulgaffar Ahmed, Haske questioned the credibility of the exercise, claiming that results from some local government areas were still being collated when the winner was declared at the Government House on Friday.
“The absence of collation processes in some Local Government Areas, irregularities in voting in certain polling units, and limited access to collation procedures before the final declaration of results raises questions on the primaries,” the statement said.
