” Our party , the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reminiscent of the conduct of the 2019 general elections have carefully studied the process and come to the conclusion that the APC led government has grossly undermined the independence of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission ( (KANSIEC) and therefore lacks the moral.impetus to superintend any elections.” he stated.
