Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru delivered his polling unit for APC in the supplementary elections.
The Office of the Minister in a statement signed by Mati Ali, Personal Assistant Media and publicity, clarified and corrected recent online reports that claimed that the Minister lost his polling unit during the Garki/Babura Federal Constituency by-election.
The statement reads in part, “for the record, the Minister’s polling unit is Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School — Polling Unit 002 (PU 002). He personally cast his vote at PU 002. The official result, as released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and announced by the Returning Officer, is as follows:• All Progressives Congress (APC): 188 votes • Peoples Democratic Party (PDP): 164 votes“.
According to Mati, these authentic results confirm a clear victory for APC at Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School, Polling Unit 002.
The statement goes on to say ” We categorically reject the inaccurate reports circulating online that misidentified the polling unit as PU 001 and wrongly asserted the Minister lost his polling unit. Such reports are false and misleading. We urge the public, party members, and the media to rely only on INEC’s official declarations and to disregard the spurious claims”.
