Niger-east By- Election Holds Today: The All Progressives Congress (APC) Candidate in the Niger-east bye election, Barr David Umaru, is expected to slug it out today with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Dr Shem Nuhu Zagbayi, even as public opinion favours Umaru to win the election. The two candidates on Thursday closed their open campaign in line with the Electoral Act which bans campaigns 24 hours to election with some APC leaders led by the national chairman, John Oyegun and the governor of Kano State, Musa Kwankwaso as well as Sen Abubakar Sariki storming the state to give their support to Umaru. LEADERSHIP weekend findings revealed that Barr Umaru is favoured by the public to come out victorious save for the usual last move of the ruling party even as the APC alleged that there were plans to rig the election. The publicity secretary of APC, Jonathan Vatsa, has inundated people on facebook with posts on alleged plans by INEC to issue fake pass to the agents of APC to make them vulnerable to security harassments thereby making it difficult to reach their various polling units to serve as agents.
