Gov't Adamawa state- buys voters cards and burns "Marwa
 |
| General Mohammed Buba Marwa |
Congress for progressive change (CPC), the candidate Governor of Adamawa State, Brigadier-General Mohammed Buba Marwa (RTD), has accused the authorities of Adamawa state government to buy and burn voter registration cards in hundreds in the state.
The state government has however held that the allegation baseless, false and untenable.
Marwa said at a press conference in Yola yesterday that agents of state government are cards for every purchase and N100.00 N200.00 in order to lower his chances of winning the seat governor general elections in April.
He said the move was one of the devices being brought by the government after realizing that the current administration will not be returned by the electorate Adamawa. General Marwa, former military administrator of Borno state, said government employees were on hand in the nooks and crannies of the state on a mission to buy voters' cards because it was obvious that the incumbent government would not be returned by the electorate in Adamawa State.
The former Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa, said the Congress for progressive change (CPC), and his campaign organization was to work harder and raise the consciousness of the electorate towards the protection to the Adamawa maps of their religious voters as it was the only viable instrument they could use to elect credible leaders in April this year.
Marwa said that the CPC so that the election was not rigged by the incumbent government and other political parties jostle to occupy the government house Dougerei, Yola, because voters were thus mobilized to keep religiously vote in the upcoming general elections.
He said because of the desperation of the incumbent government to return home Dougerei government, he alleged that a special rig was formed for this purpose, noting that the CPC and Mohammed Marwa Campaign Organization was not oblivious to these antics.
The CPC candidate Governor also argued that his history of service in the states of Borno and Lagos would serve as his guarantor to win the seat of governor in April.
However, in a rapid response, Governor Murtala Nyako, said he was not desperate to be governor of Adamawa state in the new April 2011 general elections, which guarantees the mobilization of government staff buying voter cards, dismissed the allegation Marwa Campaign Organization as baseless and unfounded.
Nyako, who was responding to journalists, through its Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Aminu Iyawa, accused Marwa of despair that has to decamp from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Congress for Progress Change (CPC), in a desperate move to be governor of Adamawa state, even when it became obvious he was not commanding the confidence of the electorate.
Aminu Iyawa urged voters to disconcert the allegation and they should use their votes wisely by voting Governor Murtala Nyako in April for the dividends of democracy that he delivered to them, and that would do for the people of Adamawa State.
