To begin with, if there was any Aspirant that the system was schemed against is my Hon.Abdulrazak Sa’ad Namdas whom was deliberately issued a falsified,doctored and concocted delegate list that was different from the list of the state chapter of the party submitted to INEC and another different list that whosoever is concern submitted to the national Secretariat of the party and INEC but all signed by one Dr.Ahmed Aminu and Ololade Shonibare as Chairman and secretary of the delegate congress committee.
Let it be known that I as an agent and a witness at the point of accreditation all these forgeries were discovered and noted by the electoral officers based on our objections.
At the end of the accreditation exercise and before the commencement of voting, the accredited voters were erroneously accounted at 1009 instead of 10014 due to an unavoidable human mistake but when the allegations of over voting was raised by my able Senior brother Mr. Zachary Madayi after the counting of votes, the Chairman of the electoral committee Mallam Gambo Lawan put on an explanation which was accepted by all agents that there was an initial omission to account for delegates of Beti ward from Fofure LGA whom have been accredited like others on the accredited list because of the nature of their names on the delegate list. flowing from this and in effect the actual accredited list was 10014 and not 1009, the total votes cast was 10011.Then the voting/political arithmetic is 10014-10011=3, which means the number of votes cast is less than the number of accredited voters or votes (i.e under voting).
Assuming without conceeding that there was over voting by even 100 votes and same were deducted or cancelled from the votes of Sen.Aishatu Binani, the winner will still remain the winner and the votes will not be substantial enough to warrant a total cancellation of the results or votes.
Finally and emphatically we in Team Namdas are sportmen like our principal @Hon Namdas. Our call remains, let’s team up to support our candidate and the party for an electoral victory come 2023 general elections.
