The leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have been blamed for the violence which erupted in Kano State during Saturday rerun election.
The media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmaad disclosed this on his Twitter page.
The media recalls that Anthony Ogbizi Michael, a Deputy Inspector-general of Police earlier debunked social media reports of killings in Gama ward in Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano during the supplementary election on Saturday.
DIG Michael blamed the social media for spreading the fake news. According to him, the story was the fabrication of the social media.
“There was no such incident or arrest of some people in the any part of the state because the security arrangement was in order”, he said at a press briefing.
“We have not witnessed any incident because voting went on in almost all the polling units smoothly.
“There has not been report of any incident of thugs taking over polling unit. If thugs occupy any polling unit definitely INEC officials will not be there to conduct election,” he said.
But, reacting, Ahmaad condemned violence and killings in the state.
According to him, leaders of both APC and PDP party caused the violence.
Ahmaad wrote: “I will never welcome violence in anywhere, Kano is the last State I would hope any kind of violence to happen, my everything is there, both of us know who and what caused such violence, leaders of our party, APC and leaders of your party, PDP. So we should all condemn it.
