MAKU RAISES ALARM OVER FAKE RESULT SHEETS IN NASARAWA

Former minister of Information and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart in Nasarawa State, Mr. Labaran Maku, has raised the alarm over fake result sheets being used in the conduct of the governorship and state assembly elections in the state.

According to Maku, INEC officials may have connived with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the election by deploying untoward means.

He noted that reports from the various polling units indicated that duplicate result sheets deployed for the exercise were not genuine, adding that the complaints were widespread across the state.

He said in Akwanga and Lafia local government areas, the result sheets issued to the returning officers by INEC were duplicates, noting that because of the anomaly there were protests in some polling units in the affected areas.

He expressed fear that the development could create crisis that may led to major breach of peace if the electorate discovered that they were been deliberately disenfranchised.

He called on INEC and the security agencies to look into the complaints with a view to remedying the situation.
