The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says fresh facts available to it
shows that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is responsible for the
burning of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in
various parts of the country.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola
Ologbodiyan, the party claims to have the details of how the APC
mobilized misguided elements in its fold to burn INEC offices and
destroy electoral materials and equipment in Plateau, Abia and Anambra
state.
Our party is also privy to clandestine plots by the APC to burn INEC
offices in some other states, so as to paralyze the commission’s
operations in such states, and pave the way for the isolation and
postponement of Presidential elections in those states; after which it
plans to unleash compromised security agencies to muzzle the shifted
polls in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari.Having realized that President Buhari has no chance in a credible,
free and fair general election, the APC now plots a violent staggering
of the polls so as to use security forces to re-enact the same rigging
formula it used in the 2018 Ekiti and Osun governorship elections.In attacking INEC offices and destroying the card readers, APC seeks
to cripple the commission’s use of full benefit of technology that will
guarantee a credible biometric voter accreditation.The PDP in very unequivocal terms insists that it will never accept
any attempt by the APC to postpone the Presidential election in any
state of the federation. The Presidential election must hold in all the
states on the 16th of February and President Buhari will be served his
defeat certificate.The PDP therefore charges Nigerians to resist the desperation of the
APC, for which it has now resorted to burning INEC offices. The party
also charges INEC to note that the APC is after it facilities and as
such put stronger measures to protect itself from the assaults of this
desperate party.
