The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Today’s election in Kogi, Natasha Akpoti and her party have alleged that election in her senatorial district has been rigged overnight.
SDP in Kogi claimed that election in the Kogi Central Senatorial district of the state, the stronghold of Governor Yahaya Bello was high-jacked overnight by the APC.
Chairman of the party, Alhaji Mouktar Atimah, made the claim at a press briefing when he gave the reason why APC agents were not present in most of the polling units.
He said: “the absence of APC agents at the polling units has affirmed the information we got that the APC has conducted the election of Kogi Central in the night.
“They are the most desperate party in this election. The absence of their agents in most of the polling units is not by accident. Since they’ve already rigged the election they consider it a waste of time to be here with other party agents”, the source said.
Governor Yahaya Bello who hails from Kogi Central Senatorial District is seeking re-election against the major contenders, Natasha Akpoti of SDP who also hails from Kogi Central and Musa Wada of PDP who hails from Kogi East.
