The Kano Government has alleged that the opposition New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP has perfected plans to rig the March 19 governorship and state houses of assembly election in the state using fake election observers.

Kano Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, said this while alerting security operatives and the public to the alleged rigging plan by NNPP on Thursday.

The Commissioner alleged that in execution of the plan, the NNPP has perfected plans to use bogus election observers to infiltrate polling centres to influence unsuspecting voters and collation centres with a view to having access to the place to commit election malfeasance.

He claimed that out of desperation, the NNPP has cloned identity of accredited observers by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for more 150 of its members in the metropolitan area to execute the reprehensible act.

Garba therefore called on the public to report any of such imposters to the police and also urged security agencies to decisively deal with the situation.
