One of the aspirants in the just-concluded All Progressives Congress governorship primary election in Nasarawa State, Prof. Mohammad Sani Haruna, has lamented alleged irregularities during the primaries, noting that even as an aspirant, he was denied the right to vote.
Haruna, a former Executive Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, lamented the situation during a press briefing on Sunday in Keffi Local Government Area of the state.
He explained that during the APC governorship primaries in Nasarawa State, among the major issues were the deployment of individuals allegedly known to have partisan interests in favour of the government-anointed aspirant, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, as electoral officials across the state.
While describing the primary election as a sham, the governorship aspirant said there were also widespread reports indicating that electoral materials and officials failed to arrive in several wards and polling locations across the state, thereby preventing many party members from participating in the process.
He said, “For instance, electoral officials and materials never arrived at my electoral ward, therefore denying me an opportunity to vote.
