PDP Hiring Thugs To Attack Collation Centres Overnight, Says Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, the spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
reelection campaign, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is
currently recruiting thugs to attack collation centres overnight.

In a statement on Saturday, Keyamo said the PDP is trying to cause violence nationwide to make the election inconclusive.

He asked security operatives to guard the collation centres to avoid disruption of the collation of result across the country.

Keyamo
also asked agents of the ruling APC nationwide not to neglect their
duty posts, but stick to the collation centres until the results are
declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“It
has come to our knowledge from insiders within the PDP Campaign Council
who are making last-minute efforts to switch allegiance to President
Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress that the PDP is
currently recruiting armed thugs and miscreants nationwide to attack
ward and local government collation centres this evening till the wee
hours of tomorrow morning,” Keyamo said.

“The purpose is to
disrupt the collation process of the elections nationwide in order to
cause crises and make this election inconclusive. As we know, most of
these collation centres are usually in schools or other places that are
poorly protected.

“This is therefore a clarion call to all law
enforcement agencies to mobilise extra armed security to protect all
collation centres nationwide. We also appeal to Nigerians of goodwill
and our supporters to provide standby electricity this night at these
collation centres.

“We also call on all our party agents,
supporters and patriotic Nigerians to stick with these election results
from the various units up to the State Collation Centres. There is no
cause for any political party at this stage to jubilate or be dejected.
Nothing has been won and nothing has been lost. Official results have
not been declared. Hence we call for eternal vigilance on the part of
our agents and supporters.”
