Al-Makura won Nasarawa gov poll – PDP scribe

A chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Nasarawa State, Alhaji Sidi Ndaji, Wednesday stated that Governor Tanko Al-Makura won the April 11, 2015, elections overwhelmingly.

He also said challenging Al-Makura’s election at the tribunal would amount to waste of time and resources as it was clear that the All Progressives Congress, APC, won clearly in majority of the local government areas.

Speaking with journalists, Ndaji, who was Zonal Coordinating Secretary of the PDP in Southern senatorial district of the state during the last elections, said Al-Makura won his election free and fair.

He said: “We are baffled that the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and its gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Labaran Maku, have gone to court to challenge the victory of the governor when it was obvious to observers and all citizens of the state that Governor Almakura won his election overwhelmingly.

“The PDP decided to respect the wishes and choice of the people because doing otherwise would amount to questioning the collective resolve of the people which is not only disrespectful but inimical to the growth of democracy in the state and Nigeria.”
