The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
and the supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan in the South West of
planning to make the March 28 elections in the geo-political zone
inconclusive, having realized that they cannot deliver the zone to the
PDP as they have promised.
According to a statement by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
in Lagos on Sunday, March 22; the party said the plot was conceived at a
meeting held in the Ondo State Government House on March 13.
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 16 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,” the statement said.
