This was contained in a press statement signed by the state Director Media and Publicity of the campaign council, Balarebe, Shehu Ilelah, made available to journalists in Bauchi.
The party called for fresh conduct of the elections, saying that the election was marred by irregularities.
The statement reads: “The APC hereby declares its rejection of the results for Bogoro local government because of the following reasons which include the harassment and intimidation of voters that scared them away from performing their civic duties.
“Majority of the APC agents were forcefully abducted and taken to an unknown destination to be released only after elections. Physical attacks against our party agents and vandalisation of their vehicles
“There were manipulations and irregularities that characterised the conduct of the exercise which affected and marred the outcome of the results as well as the deliberate refusal to use electronic card readers.”
