The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns the fresh plot by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to secretly create
30,000 illegal polling units in compromised areas in favour of the
discredited All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammodu
Buhari.
The PDP describes the exposed plot of INEC and APC as wicked, horrible
and totally unacceptable.
Our investigation shows that this is part of the grand design by the
commission under Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to rig the 2019 general elections
in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari and his dysfunctional APC.
We are aware of series of clandestine meetings between compromised
officials of the commission and certain agents of the Presidency and
APC, where the plot to sneak in the 30, 000 illegal polling units in
some remote areas and through which they plan to allocate votes to
President Buhari and the APC were perfected.
Having realized that Nigerians have completely rejected them because of
their manifold failures in governance, the Presidency and the APC are
now employing all manners of dirty antics to create ways to rig the
polls and foist President Buhari back on Nigerians.
The PDP cautions INEC not to set the nation on fire by its overt
conspiratory tendencies. Prof. Yakubu should heed wise counsel and
immediately perish the thoughts of using such polling units or dividing
the nation along ethnic lines in the 2019 general elections, as such
would be stiffly resisted.
We invite INEC to note that every Nigerian has seen the handwriting on
the wall regarding the general rejection of President Buhari and the APC
well ahead of the elections. We all know where the tide is flowing and
Nigerians are not ready to, and will never accept any results that do
not reflect that reality.
Having completely lost confidence in the integrity of INEC under Prof.
Yakubu, we unequivocally demand that all processes leading to the 2019
must be subjected to open review of political parties and stakeholders
at all levels.
In this regard, we demand that INEC makes public the location and status
of all polling units as well as the report of its investigation of
under-age voters in various parts of the country, particularly, Kano and
Katsina state.
Finally, we urge Nigerians to remain vigilant and monitor all processes
to ensure that INEC and the APC do not, at any point in the process,
manipulate the 2019 general election and subvert the will of the people.
The best thing APC and the Presidency should do now is to accept
failure, shed their desperation for power and desist from actions that
will push the nation to the brinks.
