PDP, Jonathan's supporters hatch plan to make elections in SW inconclusive - APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the supporters of President
Goodluck Jonathan in the South West have hatched a plan to make the
March 28th elections in the geo-political zone inconclusive, having
realized that they cannot deliver the zone to the PDP as they have
promised.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
party said the plot was conceived at a meeting held in the Ondo State
Government House on March 13th and attended by Governor Olusegun
Mimiko and the Coordinator of the Jonathan Campaign Tokunbo Modupe.

It said those planning to disrupt the elections are working in cahoots
with the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), and they have trained and armed
a number of youths with guns and other weapons, in addition to
providing many of them with military and police uniforms, which we
earlier said were being sewn in the capital of a state in the South
West.

APC said the highly-disruptive and armed protest by the OPC in Lagos
on March 16th was a dress rehearsal for the plan to be executed across
the states in the South-west.

The party also said the PDP has compiled and forwarded to the Police
Anti-Cult Squad the names of APC youths in all the Wards in Ondo State
so they can be arrested and locked up before, during and after the
elections, to give the PDP and its cohorts the free rein to carry out
their nefarious activities.

''As a matter of fact, funds have been provided to the Police
Anti-Cult Squad to expand its detention facility, and work is going on
at the facility as we write. The reason for these actions is that,
despite the massive infusion of illicit funds to bribe individuals and
groups in the South West, the PDP and its agents in the region have
realized that their strategy has backfired and even given the people
more impetus to vote against the ruling party,'' it said.

APC therefore called on the security agencies, especially the police
and the State Security Service, to shun partisanship in carrying out
their assigned responsibilities to prevent any individual or group
from disrupting the elections, irrespective of their political
leanings.

''Let's be clear: In the event that the security agencies fail to
carry out their duties, we will hold them, as well as those behind the
plot to disrupt the elections, totally responsible for any disruption
in the polls. They will also be held responsible for any act of
violence or intimidation against the opposition,'' the party warned.

It appealed to its members and supporters across the South West to be
calm but vigilant, and to document all actions aimed at harassing and
intimidating them, as well as all acts of violence and all moves to
disrupt the polls in the geo-political zone.

''The forthcoming elections are being closely watched within and
outside Nigeria. In other words, the eyes of the world are on our
country. Therefore, no one who engages in violence, rigging or
intimidation of voters, to scare them away from the polling booths,
will go scot-free, irrespective of his status,'' APC said.

PDP Government very BAD!

Opiantum! *in chiwetalu Agwu's voice...

PDP should jst gv it up..they don't need all these things. Nothing can stop the whirlwind of CHANGE that is blowing presently.

Change has come. Believe that....!

God Is in control of everything.

This news is not far from the truth. GEJ has invested too much in this election. But unfortunately, there is no going back,irrespective of how many millions of dollars that have been lavished. Strongly were we behind GEJ in 2011 but we can't continue with this present government. Its definitely
#CHANGE

PDP will be disgraced!

Tinubu only can tell d blow opc support for gej has dealt to him

Maybe APC don't yet that

Everything na nothing

I imagine Jonathan must have had a pool party in celebration of his success at ensuring the polls were shifted. He must have thought what he had was 6 years and not 6 weeks hence still went ahead with the same mode of campaign as he was prior to the postponement.

Now he's got just 6 days and he's entered full panic mode, from moving Aso Rock to Lagos to commissioning some fictitious bridge, to implementing the Confab report, to reducing the price of fuel, to reducing electricity tariffs, etc. Now since all that did nothing to stem the tide of the raging Buhari storm, he finally resorted to full scale rigging from fighting the use of PVCs to trying to sack Jega, to telling us to leave the polling units and go home after casting our votes otherwise we might be shot by the police.

It will all fail. We shall meet at the polls come what may Mr president!

We know PDP and their anticedence. People Destructive Party and Mimiko should know that they are in for it in SW. He should further know that no matter what they plan against APC is irrelevant because this election as an election of protest against GEJ and not about APC. Mimiko is and PDP are all learners and would failed gallantly. God bless Nigeria.
SAI NIGERIA

Ekitigate is still fresh in our minds, they should not try anything funny
