The result of the primary election showed that the presidential aide polled 16 votes, while Gaya got 109 votes.
Earlier, Ahmad had taken to his Facebook page to complain about thugs at the venue of the election, saying, “As an aspirant, I left the venue of primary election for Gaya, Ajingi and Albasu Federal Constituency, because of the security of our majority delegates, if I want to compete with the best, thugs shouldn’t be part of any election.”
