Kano Integrity Bloc Condemns Intimidation of Voters by NNPP Chieftains and Armed Thugs

Published

KANO, NIGERIA – February 3, 2024 – Kano Integrity Bloc, an organization committed to upholding democratic values and ensuring transparency in the electoral process, strongly condemns the deplorable acts carried out by chieftains of the NNPP (New Nigeria Peoples Party) and their armed thugs during today’s re-run elections in Kano.

These acts of voter intimidation have tarnished the democratic process and undermined the will of the people.

During the re-run elections holding today, Saturday, February 3, 2024, reports emerged of widespread intimidation of voters by individuals believed to be affiliated with the NNPP in Kano.

These armed thugs, acting with apparent impunity, openly intimidated voters, creating an environment of fear and coercion. Shockingly, despite the presence of several security agencies, no visible action was taken to protect voters or bring the culprits to justice.

Such acts of violence and intimidation not only contravene the principles of free and fair elections but also erode the trust and confidence of the electorate. It is the duty of every political party, regardless of affiliation, to respect the rights of citizens to vote without fear or coercion. The actions carried out by the NNPP chieftains and their armed thugs are a direct attack on our democracy and cannot be tolerated.

It is imperative that political parties uphold the ethical standards expected of them and take immediate action to address any wrongdoing within their ranks. We further call on all relevant security agencies to thoroughly investigate these incidents and hold the culprits accountable for their actions.

As an organization committed to the ideals of integrity, transparency, and the protection of the people’s will, Kano Integrity Bloc remains steadfast in its dedication to upholding and promoting a robust democratic process. We will continue to work diligently, alongside other organizations and concerned citizens, to ensure that such acts of voter intimidation are eradicated and the democratic principles of Nigeria are upheld.

We urge the authorities to act swiftly, conducting a thorough investigation into the reported incidents of voter intimidation. The culprits must be brought to justice, and steps must be taken to avoid any recurrence of such acts in future elections.

In a statement by Musaddiq Wada Waziri said Kano Integrity Bloc calls on all citizens to remain vigilant and resolute in the face of these attempts to undermine our democratic process. We must stand together as a united front against those who seek to hinder the progress of democratic governance and ensure that the rights and will of the people prevail.
