But addressing journalists on Monday in Katsina, the chairman of the PDP Campaign Council in the state, Senator Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, said, “A lot of irregularities have taken place in the sham that took place on Saturday, but since there are constituted authorities, we will follow all legal means to reclaim our mandate.”

Similarly, the DG of the campaign council, Dr Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa, said, “It was a clear act of wickedness, electoral malpractice and condemnable attempt to destroy our democracy.

“Even before the elections, we have told the world how the ruling party was planning to use all forms of coercion, including using security forces, to rig the elections.
