The Office of the Honourable Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, has clarified and corrected recent online reports that falsely claimed the Minister lost his polling unit during the Garki/Babura Federal Constituency by-election. Media and Publicity to the Honourable Minister of Defence, Mati Ali PA, in a statement, said the Minister’s polling unit is Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School — Polling Unit 002 (PU 002). Mati Ali PA said the Minister personally cast his vote at PU 002 and the official result, as released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and announced by the Returning Officer, confirms a clear victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) with 188 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored 164 votes. “These authentic results confirm a clear victory for APC at Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School, Polling Unit 002,” Mati Ali PA said. The office categorically rejected the inaccurate reports circulating online that misidentified the polling unit as PU 001 and wrongly asserted the Minister lost his polling unit. Mati Ali PA urged the public, party members, and the media to rely only on INEC’s official declarations and to disregard the spurious claims. “We urge the public, party members, and the media to rely only on INEC’s official declarations and to disregard the spurious claims,” Mati Ali PA emphasized.
