PDP said the exercise was a shame and an attack on the nation’s democracy.

The Eastern Updates also recalls that the Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission, KADSIECOM had declared candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC winners of all the 23 chairmanship and 255 councilorship seats in the state.

KADSIECOM Chairman, Hajara Mohammed, announced the result in Kaduna.

However, PDP, made its position known on Friday in a statement signed by Maria Dogo, its Publicity Secretary and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.

The statement said: “PDP is not surprised by this secretive move, as it is clear that these individuals were never elected by the people but imposed by the dictator in Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.

“We reiterate that no local government council election was held in Kaduna State on Oct. 19.

‘Any exercise, including the issuance of certificates of return, swearing-in, or assumption of office by these impostors, is, therefore, futile and will not stand the test of time and the law.

“The PDP assures the good people of Kaduna State that we are already in court challenging the validity of the election law passed and hurriedly smuggled into the electoral process.”

In other news, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ondo State, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is plotting to use operatives of the Amotekun Corps for the November 16 governorship election in the state.

The opposition party while raising the alarm, stated that the development called for concern following the appointment of the Commander of Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, as Chairman of the Security Committee of the APC campaign council in the state.

While describing the situation as a move to deploy Amotekun operatives as thugs during the poll, the PDP, in a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the governorship candidate of the party, Ayo Fadaka, vowed to resist the alleged plot.
