Narabi stated that these tactics currently in circulation was a deliberate attempt to weaken the morale of citizens especially eligible voters from voting for Al-Mustapha.
He said that the HAVOYA findings revealed that the claim was part of a grand plot to create confusion and misdirect the mindset and feelings of majority of the eligible voters who were Action Alliance supporters stating that the plot was conceived and executed to make the country continue in a “sorry situation” by influencing voters to make wrong choices in the upcoming Presidential race.
