...Alleged APC, INEC, Security Agents Hold Secret Meeting
In PH
Barely
48 hours to the long awaited conclusion of the rescheduled legislative re-run
elections in parts of Rivers State, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says it has uncovered plans by the All Progressives Congress,
APC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC with the
connivance of security agencies, tohijack
and swap the original result
sheets for fake ones during the Saturday, December 10, 2016 election.
The
PDP in a statement by its Rivers State Chapter Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah and
signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam said the
agreement was sealed in a secret meeting between the State leadership of the
APC, security agents and the electoral body at the residence of one of the
APC’s chieftains in Port Harcourt.
The
Statement noted that no decision was reached at their first meeting owing to
INEC’s insistence on involvement of security agents to perfect the deal.
On
how to execute the plot, the statement further said that certain persons hired
and equipped for the assignment will cause crisis in each of the collation
centres to enable the security agents come in under the pretext to calm the
situation and while the melee lasts, the fake INEC result sheets will be
substituted for the genuine ones.
The
State PDP chairman, Bro Obuah has therefore warned against any attempt by the
APC, INEC officials and security personnel to scuttle this last opportunity to
settle these election issues in the State by taking sides in the election and,
or indulging in any act(s) that will cause crisis in the State.
According
to him, all PDP agents have been asked to be peaceful, law-abiding but to insist
that the right is done and never to be intimidated by anybody.
“Let
me restate that we are ready for this election having campaigned adequately,
demonstrated that we have all it takes to give our people qualityleadership
through GovNyesomWike’s landmark achievements in one and half years which our
good people of Rivers State have seen and acknowledged and are willing to
reciprocate by filing out in their numbers on Saturday to confirm.
We
will not therefore take it kindly with any act, overtly or covertly aimed to
ridicule the Saturday’s exercise.
May
1 also enjoin the INEC and the security agencies to caution their staff and
personnel to allow peace reign in Rivers State by being fair and unbiased in
this all important election”, the State
PDP boss declared.
