No primary held in Balanga/Billiri constituency, Attajiri, APC aspirant raises alarm

By Laraba Usman

Mr Alfred Attajiri, an aspirant of House of Representative under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the results announced for the primary election in Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency, saying no election held.

In a press statement signed by Alfred Attajiri and made available to newsmen on Saturday, he described the announcement of results as an insult to democracy.

He accused Mr Mohammed Fawu, a former commissioner in Gombe State, of announcing results for an election that never took place.

According to Attajiri, there were videos, pictures, eyewitness accounts, and reports from across Balanga and Billiri showing that no proper election was conducted before the results were declared.

He said the action was unfair to party members and delegates and could damage the image and credibility of the APC.

“The people of Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency are deeply disappointed and losing confidence in the party structure,” he said.

Attajiri stated that members of the constituency had remained loyal and committed to the APC over the years, but warned that allowing injustice within the party could make Nigerians lose trust in future elections.

He called on President Bola Tinubu and APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda to urgently intervene and ensure justice is done” Our struggle is for justice, not chaos,” Attajiri added.

He also urged supporters, youths, women, elders, and residents of Balanga and Billiri to remain peaceful and avoid violence despite the situation.
