TY Danjuma calls for peace as antidote to election rigging

Former Minister of Defence, Lt Gen Theophilus Danjuma, claims there are plans to rig next month’s general elections.

Danjuma made the allegation while opening a medical laboratory at the Rufkatu Danjuma Maternity Hospital in his Takum hometown in Taraba State.

The elder statesman also said that the plot is to cause unrest that would make some states ungovernable so as to manipulate the elections.

He said, “We must work hard for peace in addition to just registering and obtaining our Permanent Voter Cards.

“There is no need to fight one another because they will use the police and soldiers to destabilise us and rig the elections.

“It is in our best interest to ensure there is peace. Those behind this plot know that they will not win elections if there is peace. I want to call on you not to sell your votes because you will be selling your birthright if you do so.”
