People Democratic Party (PDP) Kano State chapter said is withdrawing from participating in the Local Government election.

The party said the withdrawal was necessary because it does not believe in the sincerity of Kano State Election Commission (KANSIEC).

It alleged the election results have been allocated to certain candidates even before the conduct of the election.

PDP, however, noted that the withdrawal is in a bid to give peace a chance to reign in the state.

Making the assertion on Tuesday, PDP caretaker chairman, Alhaji Danladi Umar Abdulhameed, while addressing a press conference in Kano, said, “let me once again reiterate that the Kano State government under the leadership of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje can not conduct a free and fair election.

“The state government and the governor lacks the political morality to do so, therefore, our party, the PDP will not participate in the sham of an election come January 16th 2021.

“The PDP and indeed the people of Kano cannot forget how Governor Ganduje and the APC in connivance with electoral officials used hoodlums and political thugs as well security agents to intimidate voters and disenfranchise the populace during the 2019 general elections that fraudulently brought the Ganduje administration into office by also manipulating the judiciary.”
