Osun 2014: APC Tells INEC To Circulate Voters Identification Numbers Of All Uncl by Praktikals(m): 8:00pm On Aug 06, 2014

Progressives
Congress (APC)
has asked the
Independent
National Electoral
Commission, INEC
to urgently
circulate to all
political parties
the Voters
Identification
Numbers
(VINs) of all unclaimed Permanent Voters Cards
(PVCs) and publicly
declare that anyone in possession of any PVC
with any of such numbers
is an impostor who must be arrested if he or she
tries to use it.
In a communique issued after the emergency
meeting of its National
Executive Committee (NEC) in Osogbo on
Wednesday, the party said in addition to
circulating the VINs of the unclaimed PVCs, INEC
must publicly declare invalid for the purpose of
the August 9, Osun
governorship election all the PVCs with the
circulated VINs.
It said the
circulation of
the VINs of the
unclaimed
PVCs and the
INEC’s
declaration as
invalid of all
PVCs bearing
the VINs for
the Saturday
election is the
irreducible
minimal condition for the Aug.
9th Governorship Election to be free, fair,
credible and transparent.
The statement signed by its national publicity
secretary, Alhaji Lai Muhammed said, “APC
strongly warns against the plan by the PDP-led
Federal Government
to rig the Osun election through financial
inducements and also by
using the security agents who have been
deployed to Osun State in
their thousands, especially soldiers and State
Security Service (SSS) officials, to arrest key
leaders of the party.
”The party has received information that at a
meeting held overnight
in Osogbo involving top officials of the PDP and
the Federal Government as well as INEC
officials, a huge sum of money was earmarked
for payment to key electoral officials to rig
Saturday’s election in favour of the PDP.
”At the same
meeting, it
was resolved
that APC
leaders like
Senator
Jide
Omoworare,
Hon. Rotimi
Makinde and
others will
immediately
be put under house arrest and their movements
severely restricted as soon as they cast their
votes. Any arrest, harassment and intimidation
of our
leaders, as was massively done in Ekiti, will be
totally unacceptable
and deemed as orchestrated to rig the election”.
It also said that based on credible information,
the rural farm settlements around Ile-Ife and
Ilesha, among others, have been
identified as areas where the 500,000 cloned
cards and other PVCs illegally obtained will be
used mostly on Saturday.
“APC condemns the rumored plan by the
security not to allow party
agents within 5 metres of the polling booths to
be used for Saturday’s
election, calling it a ploy to make it impossible
for all accredited agents to perform their
statutory duty of verifying the identity of those
coming to be accredited to vote.
”Accreditation is the bedrock of a free and fair
election and once
the security, whether military or otherwise,
succeeds in preventing
accredited party agents from performing their
statutory role, then the
basis for a free and fair election is gone. The
only reason why the military will not allow party
agents to do their work is to aid those who are
not authorized to vote to do so. This is the only
way 500,000 unclaimed PVCs and others
illegally obtained can be used to rig the
elections.
”We are, therefore, calling on INEC to prevail on
the security agencies to allow the party agents
to do their work unhindered on Saturday. We
also want to remind INEC to note that soldiers,
by law, have no
business at polling booths, not to talk of the
irony of the same
soldiers now preventing party agents from
discharging their statutory
roles
”Even more brazen and bizarre is the
information reaching us that the
majority of the 500,000 PVCs and others illegally
obtained may have
been given to uniformed men, both official and
unofficial, who in the
absence of prying eyes will cast multiple votes
and rig the election
in favour of the PDP.
”We also have very credible information that
when all fails, directives might be given to the
EOs to allow anyone with a Permanent voters
card to cast his or her vote even when their
names are not on the voters register. These are
frightening and sinister scenarios, which we
want INEC to take note of and prevent from
happening”, the party said.
It condemned the alleged glaring partisanship of
the security agencies that
have been deployed to Osun for the election,
against the background
that the Department of State Service (DSS),
prevented the solidarity rally of the NLC in
support of Gov. Aregbesola at the
Freedom Park Osogbo from taking place on the
grounds that there is a
division within the NLC.
”Also, we are uncomfortable with the tale being
peddled to the rank and file of the police in Osun
State that the acting IGP has directed
that Osun election must be won by the PDP as a
condition for his
confirmation.
”The APC is aware of the desperation of the PDP
to win Saturday’s election at all cost, even when
everything, including an opinion poll carried out
by a globally-acknowledged firm, RMS-TNS,
points to the fact that the APC candidate, Gov.
Rauf Aregbesola, is the runaway leader among
all the candidates for the election.
”Our party especially notes the circulation of the
result of an opinion poll purportedly carried out
by USAID showing the PDP candidate, Senator
Iyiola Omisore, as the leading candidate.
Thankfully, USAID has publicly dissociated itself
from such poll, saying it never carried out any
opinion poll on Osun State. There is no clearer
evidence of desperation than this.
”We must however not
fail to warn that Osun
Election will determine
the fate of democracy in
Nigeria, and therefore call on all
stakeholders to provide a level playing field for
all”, APC said.

Yamheads like you are the reasons why this country is going down the drain. And the greatest curse on earth will always remain on the head of those who see the truth and deliberately argue against it.

How do you sleep at night? How do you e-rat see an agent of darkness destroying the future of Osun and you are supporting it?

This is the state of education in Osun and may the wrath of the Lord be upon you and remain with you entire lineage if the pictures below is what you which for Osun younger generation.
