PDP buying PVCs for 10,000 naira each - APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm that some
people suspected to be agents of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
have resorted to underhand tactics, including the purchase of PVCs and
the intimidation of some voters to seize their PVCs, in the wake of
the recent postponement of the general elections.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also said a company, Agro-Allied
Communities Service Nigeria Limited, has been formed ostensibly to provide 50,000 Naira loan each to 'empower' women.

It said, however, that anyone seeking to get the loan must provide her PVC as 'collateral', which is basically the essence of the establishment of the company that is supposedly a private concern but in reality a PDP front to mop up PVCs, especially in opposition strongholds.

APC said it is now getting clearer by the day what the PDP-led Federal government sought to gain by forcing the postponement of the elections for six weeks - which is to perfect their rigging plans.

The party warned those behind the abhorrent acts to desist from such tactics, which reflect the desperation by some people to hold on to power at all cost, even when it is clear that Nigerians have widely rejected them due to non-performance, massive corruption and profligacy under their watch.

It also appealed to its members and supporters in particular, and
Nigerians in general, not to sell their PVCs under any guise, saying
that is the only power they have to effect a meaningful change that
can ensure the deliverance of democratic dividends to them.

''Our members have alerted us to the fact that PDP agents have been
operating in all villages between Kobape and Orile-Imo along the
Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway in Ogun State, giving 10,000 Naira to each
poor villager and collecting their PVCs. The PDP agents are also
promising each villager a monthly stipend of 10,000 Naira if and when
their party assumes office in the state.

''Indications are that this objectionable PVC mop-up is being
replicated in all opposition strongholds by the frenzied PDP, hence we
at the APC have decided to alert the nation to the reprehensible
act,'' APC said.

The party also said that some Immigration personnel, acting under the
guise of arresting illegal aliens with voter cards, are dispossessing
a lot of unsuspecting locals in the northern part of the country of
their PVCs. These unsuspecting people are arrested and their cards
seized, all in an attempt to disenfranchise them.

''This act of desperation is totally unacceptable and must stop
forthwith. Every voter should be allowed to exercise his or her
franchise in accordance with his/her conscience, without intimidation
or inducement,'' it said.''We hope this is not part of the reasons
that the PDP relentlessly campaigned for a postponement of the
elections, so it can engage in PVC purchase and the disenfranchisement
of innocent Nigerians through harassment and intimidation.''
