He also noted that there was no adequate deployment of security personnel to man the polling units in the state, a situation he said emboldened “some thugs” to try to disrupt the voting process in some parts of the state, particularly the state capital, Sokoto.
He appealed Sokoto citizens to continue to exercise patience and vigilance in the course of the election today and later.
