The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, in Kano State, on Saturday, condemned the brutal attack on innocent voters during the rerun by election in  Kunchi/Tsanyawa State Assembly constituency.

The party Chairman, Hashim Dungurawa in a statement, alleged that the attack was aimed at disenfranchising the voters from exercising their civic rights.

Dungurawa said,: “We noticed with dismay, the sporadic attacks on the unsuspecting voters with the aim to disenfranchise them from exercising their civic rights.

“Since last night, we sighted the deployment of thousands of thugs hired by the APC to distract the election process,” Dungurawa alleged.

The NNPP Chairman however, commended security forces for protecting the lives of people in the affected areas.

Reacting, the Secretary, Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Zakari Sarina said no election took place in the state while accusing the NNPP of taking over the entire process from INEC as well as serving as party agents to APC and PDP.

“The NNPP took over the entire process from INEC having taken over the election process by serving as party agents of APC and PDP. They also took over election materials and even wrote the results,” Sarina alleged.
