Sokoto State Governor and Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council (PDP-PCC), Aminu Tambuwal, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of plot to hack the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

“It is your money that would have been used for your security, to provide you with infrastructure, to provide employment and enabling environment for your businesses to grow, your money which they had stashed away that they now want to come and buy your votes with ”

He charged them to reject all their financial overtures.

The presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, promised to open up the nation’s borders as well as put an end to insecurity in the country, if elected.
