PDP Raises Fresh Alarm Over Alleged Rigging Plot Of The APC
The Peoples
Democratic Party, Lagos state chapter, has raised the alarm over the alleged
plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC), never to hand over power to the
PDP, especially in Lagos state if they lose in the forthcoming general
elections.
According to
the Lagos State PDP, the APC which is now obviously politically haemorrhage and
cannot survive the 2019 governorship election in Lagos state is now concluding
its plans to use INEC, security agencies, thugs, identified election observers
and ‘activists’ who are APC apologists to rig the 2019 general elections in
Lagos state.
Defending
the assertions, the PDP referred to the statement credited to Mr Joe Igbokwe,
Lagos APC spokesman, that Buhari will never hand over power to Atiku as not
only undemocratic & provocative but indeed a pre election rigging plan that
should interest the relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Mr
Igbokwe.
“The Lagos
APC is terminally divided and cannot win any election in the state. We had
garnered information from different sources indicating that the APC is not
willing to let go the control of Lagos State in particular. So much that the
Party leaders in Lagos at one of their meetings analysed that keeping only
Lagos state is worth more than having all other southwest states. Thus the
desperation and frustration exposed by Mr Igbokwe has confirmed our information
and vindicated our assertions that the APC has never won any fair elections in
the state.
“We will
mobilise all legal means and supports to seriously resist this plan to rig us
out in 2019. Interestingly, the confessions of the APC leaders that Governor
Ambode has neglected and not funding party structures account for why the
sitting governor has been rejected for a second term. Invariably, any State
development without funding APC leaders is not welcomed by the APC.
"Indeed
Lagosians now know that the APC in Lagos state think more of themselves than
the inhabitants. That the APC is only interested in sharing state funds amongst
themselves. Such party cannot be trusted with public funds and no doubt
Lagosians will reject them in 2019”
Meanwhile,
the PDP warns that the APC will be held responsible for any attack on any of
her candidates.
