More information reached out yesterday to news men in Zamfara state, of how some INEC officials at the national headquarters Abuja, alledgely invited some ad-hoc staff that participated in the conduct of the 2023 governorship poll in Zamfara to Abuja, and were urged to sign documents related to the conduct of the Governorship election.
It was not immediately known what manner of documents it was, but in a spurious situation, the said ad hoc staff said they were confused and could not sign because the lanuguage of the document was not understandable and tgey were not prepared to alter the already documented records of the already concluded governor poll record and election.
Our source said the ad hoc staff were not sure if the action wasnt an action by one of the relations of the Zamfara PDP gubernatorial candidate Dauda Lawal who is also a staff of the legal department of the INEC in Abuja.
Those invited to Abuja include the State returning officer for the Zamfara Governorship election, collation officers for Anka, Bakura, Maradun, Bukkuyum, Tsafe, Zurmi, Shinkafi Gummi, Gusau, Bungudu, Maru, Birnin Magaji and Kaura Namoda.
Others invited include ward collation officers for Damaga/Gama Giwa, Kaya/Dosara , Faru/Magami, Gora and Janbako wards.
The source added that Maradun is becoming a source of concern to the PDP and indeed the INEC staff accused because it has constituted the basis of the petition filed by the APC challenging the victory of the PDP at the 2023 governorship polls.
All efforts to reach INEC Chairman to confirm or dispute the matter, proved abortive as at the time of going to press
