CPC Alleges Registration Of Ineligible Persons
The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of CPC in Katsina State, Alhaji Aliyu Gidado, has alleged the registration of ineligible and foreign persons in some parts of the state.
Gidado told newsmen after a closed-door meeting of the 34 local government chairmen of the party in Katsina on Monday that some Nigeriens were registered in Mai’adua Local Government Area.
He also alleged that some politicians were selling voters cards and bribing INEC officials to facilitate the registration of ineligible persons.
Gidado complained of inadequate registration materials in many registration units and urged INEC to address the anomalies.
The state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Wara, however, dismissed the allegations.
He said additional DDC machines had been received and distributed to areas where they were lacking.
“We are going round and monitoring to prevent ineligible persons from participating in the exercise.
“We also warn those registered against selling their cards and to expose suspected buyers,†he added.
NAN recalls that three Nigeriens were arrested in the state last week for allegedly registering in the ongoing voter registration.
