The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it will checkmate all plots to rig or mar the forthcoming supplementary polls.
In
a statement by its spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan on Thursday, the PDP
said Nigerians will deal with thugs dressed in military uniforms seeking
to aid rigging of the March 23 supplementary elections.
The
party said it is ready to “confront, resist and dismantle all rigging
machinery” in a bid to consolidate on its already established victory in
the March 23 supplementary governorship elections.
“Our
structure and followership in Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa, Plateau, Bauchi and
Benue states have been fully rallied at all levels of polling and
collation process to resist any attempt by anybody to manipulate,” the
party stressed.
The party alleged that it has full information of
how the APC is moving huge sums of money in the attempt to bribe
officials of INEC to manipulate the electoral process.
It also
claimed that the APC has been sending its agents to promise money to
voters and how such overtures are being rejected by the voters.
The
PDP however noted that all ‘ignoble schemes’ are already known and that
the party is standing shoulder to shoulder with the people of the
states were the supplementary polls will be holding, as to support them
in defending their votes.
The party stressed that all its agents,
members and supporters have been equipped to closely monitor all the
electoral processes, from the accreditation of voters, voting and
collation of results, ensure that all results delivered at the polling
units be immediately posted on INEC website and use all legitimate means
to firmly resist any attempt to alter the results.
