Mr. Dogara Caesar who is the Coordinator of the group, while speaking with this medium, said a similar situation was recorded in some areas of Lere/Saminaka axis where results where said to be carted away".

"Gun shots were fired into the air to scare away oppositon agents in order for them to implement their wickedness".

"We have been watching the propaganda on channels Tv where the governor claimed the exercise was peaceful and there are not such clips showing opened results declaration at the centers".

"Now is the time for the youth to call for an emergency meeting with the leadership of Nigerian Youths in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and notable Civil Society Organizations that monitored the entire exercise on camera to make available the evidence of our claims", he stated.

"It's time to discuss the way forward for our state and the future of the youths that is being jeopardised by the actions of this government. This is a Government that is promoting bad behaviour and Gov. el-Rufai has been doing it over and over".

"We won't take it in a democratic setting. Else we shall make Kaduna a place for social justice .
