The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has cleared the air on the rigging allegation of one of its presidential candidates, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen.
Speaking during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said they do not have any evidence to support or deny the allegation.
DAILY POST reports that Hayatu-Deen had announced that he would not attend the party’s presidential election results announcement, citing concerns over alleged widespread irregularities in the exercise.
Reacting, the party’s spokesman said, “We don’t have any evidence to be able to support his position or to deny his position because we’ve not collated the results.
“We’ve not noticed any pattern in the result, and we’ve not seen enough to be able to establish a pattern.
“Eleven states’ results have been received so far. We are still awaiting other results. Any moment from now we are going to start the collation.”
