Honorable Muhammed Mustapha Councillorship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress representing Sarkin Dawaki electoral ward of Doma Local Government Council of Nasarawa State has threatened to seek justice in a court of law if his name is missing at the substantive winner of the Councillorship primary held last week.
Mahmud says he would do everything possible to ensure that he remains the genuine flag bearer of the Sarkin Dawaki electoral ward.
He further explained that he has since been given a certificate of return, but sees the handwriting on the walls that the Deputy Governor is hell-bent to twist the outcome of the transparent primary election.
Outcome Of Councillorship primary election of Sarkin Dawaki electoral ward.
1.Muhammed Mustapha-528
2.Salihu Ashafa-196
3.Tijjani Ojudu-112

The Public Relations Officer of NASIEC in a telephone interview debunked the allegation that the Commission swapped names of Councillorship candidates at the recently concluded primary election.

The State Deputy Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Akabe when contacted could not be reached for comment and did not respond to a text message sent to him as at press time.
