“There were four of us on the phone at the time: the campaign manager, the IGP, and the regional police commander. IGP questioned the police commander about the situation in his area, but the officer gave a different account than what actually occurred.

So I intervened, stating three times, “No, that’s not true. IGP then commanded three times to stop talking before asking the campaign manager to disconnect the line. Ten to fifteen minutes later, my campaign manager contacted to notify me that the IGP had threatened to have me arrested if I continued to circulate false information.

The campaign team, according to Hajia Saed, also set up her departure from the area while her co-agent took over at the polling place.

But the campaign manager made it clear that the IGP’s response over the phone was based on the information he had gotten from the regional commander, and she applauded him for taking action, calling it useful under the circumstances.

The co-agent to Hajia Saed, Ganiru, then shared his account of what happened at the voting place.

According to Ganiyu, a party executive tried to pay him and representatives of other candidates while delegates were permitted to reveal their votes to others to ensure that their voting patterns were uniform.

“Everyone in the voting line was displaying their ballot to the person in front of them. When it came time for the regional youth organizer to cast his or her ballot, chaos broke out as the first three voters revealed their ballots to one another. My boss, the national campaign manager, had instructed me not to sign the pink sheet at the time.
