Dr Jamilu claimed that soldiers were deployed inside polling centres across the constituency, contrary to provisions of the Electoral Act and guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission , which require security personnel to remain at least 50 metres away from polling units. The opposition party lamented what it described as a gross misuse of federal power, noting that while the military is being deployed to influence elections, the same level of commitment has not been shown in protecting rural communities from persistent bandit attacks.
Despite the alleged intimidation, the PDP expressed pride in its supporters, who it said remained resilient and courageous in the face of harassment. The party maintained that the election outcome was not a reflection of the will of Zamfara people.
