Buhari’s Media Aide Leaks Video Of How APC Rigging

Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, has leaked a video of how the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State rigged the election to a particular candidate during the primaries election.

Recall that Mr Bashir Ahmad resigned from the Buhari government a few weeks ago to contest for the position of the Federal lower constituency.

The former presidential aide took to a giant social media platform (Twitter) to express his grievances for losing out in the House of Representatives primary election held for the Gaya/Ajingi/Albasu constituency in Kano State.

Newsflash Nigeria had reported earlier that Ahmad participated in the primary election but was comprehensively defeated at the polls.

The 30-year-old indigene of Kano State contested for the Albasu/Gaya/Ajingi Federal Constituency seat which is currently being occupied by a member of the ruling party, Abdullahi Mahmud Gaya but lost according to the results released on Friday.

Still contesting the election outcome, the former presidential aide on Sunday leaked online a video showing delegates casting votes without due process, in what seems like rigging.

Ahmad in his reaction to the events as seen in the video clip, said scoring a single vote for him must have been a miracle.

He further asserts that there is much to what is shown in the video clip he had uploaded.

Ahmad wrote: “Just a glimpse of what happened during the so-called primaries in my constituency. Scoring a single vote must have even been a miracle. There is much more to what was seen here. Exploring all the possible and legal ways to reclaim our mandate.”
