All Progressives Congress (APC) Gombe State Chapter, has appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct free, fair and credible by-election in Dukku North Constituency.

The election is billed for Aug. 19

The interim chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Idi Gubana, made the appeal on Friday in Gombe while speaking with newsmen.

It was reported that the seat became vacant due to the death of Gambo Kabade of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who died in June 2017.

“We are asking INEC to conduct free, fair and credible election.

“The security agencies should ensure nobody snatch ballot box and every eligible voter should be allowed to vote for the candidate of his choice” Gubana said.

The chairman said the party is prepared for and confident its candidate would win the election as Dukku North is APC catchment area.

He said that members of the party appreciated the security arrangements put in place for the election and urged the security agencies to maintan them on Election Day.

“So far we appreciated the security arrangement made by the Commissioner of Police and the sister security agencies.

“We were told that each polling unit will have not less than five security personnel.

“We hope that security operatives posted to polling the units will ensure that the election is conducted credibly and nobody should be denied to cast his or her votes,” he said.

Gubana called on supporters of the party to come out and vote for the party’s candidate and be peaceful before, during and after the election.
