APC accuses PDP of plans to rig Osun Guber Election

By Sharon Fatogun

The All Progressives Congress has alleged that the open declaration by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to direct her machineries to Osun State is an attempt to rig the governorship election.

This was made known in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, in Abuja on Wednesday .

Nabena alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party was prepared to deploy all means, and schemes in all ramification and magnitude to rig all coming elections , starting with the Osun State governorship election .

Recall that the PDP in a statement released on Tuesday, by its National publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, had directed all its presidential aspirants to move all their political machinery into Osun state to support the gubernatorial aspirant, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Yekini said “PDP’s statement on Tuesday is particularly worrisome , because it coincided with the situation field report we received of the PDP cloning Permanent Voters Cards for use in the Osun governorship election .

“The PDP’s public rigging plans is a red flag that requires urgent probe by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant security agencies .

“We also call on well – meaning Nigerians and civil society organisations to speak out and resist the PDP’s retrogressive plan which threatens our democracy . ”

“We are confident that the good people of Osun will resist the PDP’s deployment to take over Osun State by force . The people’s  will, the people’ s vote, is supreme . It must be respected and defended”.
