The Peoples Democratic Party has said the Independent National Electoral Commission under Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is fuelling trouble following its refusal to withdraw the 4,000 All Progressives Congress members it secretly registered as independent observers for the July 14 and September 22 governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States respectively.
The PDP said this in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.
It said: “The PDP wants INEC to note that the people of Ekiti and Osun states are already aware of plots to use the illegal observers to manipulate the electoral process, endorse irregularities, approve fictitious results and subvert the will of the electorate in favour of the APC, and are ready to resist such.
“INEC, in this design, should not forget that these states are immutable strongholds of the PDP; that the citizens are politically sophisticated and will in no way hesitate to confront, with all energy available in a democracy, any attempt by anybody to sabotage the election.
