The Office of the Honourable Minister of Defence H. E. Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni, wishes to clarify and correct recent online reports that falsely claimed the Minister lost his polling unit during the Garki/Babura Federal Constituency by-election.
For the record, the Honourable Minister’s polling unit is Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School — Polling Unit 002 (PU 002). His Excellency personally cast his vote at PU 002. The official result, as released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and announced by the Returning Officer, is as follows:
• All Progressives Congress (APC): 188 votes
• Peoples Democratic Party (PDP): 164 votes
These authentic results confirm a clear victory for APC at Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School, Polling Unit 002.
We categorically reject the inaccurate reports circulating online that misidentified the polling unit as PU 001 and wrongly asserted the Minister lost his polling unit. Such reports are false and misleading. We urge the public, party members, and the media to rely only on INEC’s official declarations and to disregard the spurious claims.
