The All Progressives Congress (APC) has allegedly uncovered a plot by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to use fake result sheets in falsifying figures in the Lagos gubernatorial election slated for tomorrow.
The APC claims that PDP has brought fake result sheets from Abuja for the purpose of capturing Lagos state at all cost.
According to Vanguard, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the national publicity secretary of the party made this known in a statement on Friday, April 11.
The party has further alleged that rigging plans are being led by President Goodluck Jonathan, who has already flown into Lagos where he has held a meeting with his point men, including Musiliu Obanikoro, Jimi Agbaje and Gani Adams.
The statement of the party read in part: ”The meeting in Lagos was aimed at devising a strategy to distribute the fake result sheets that were packed into the SUV, which will be free to move around (because of its plate number) despite the restriction on vehicular movement during the elections.
”It is sad that the same President, who conceded defeat in the presidential election and then followed up with a speech in which he said he would like his ‘legacy’ of free and fair elections to endure, is the one who is presiding over a desperate move to steal the people’s votes on Saturday.
”How can President Jonathan’s ‘legacy’ endure when one of his last acts in office is a seeming vengeance mission to lead his party to capture Lagos, because the PDP sees the state as a cash cow that they can milk to death, with the party’s gravy train at the federal level having derailed?
”In their desperation over the Lagos election, they have shamelessly divided the people along ethnic, religious and regional lines, thus setting the stage for the condemnable hate speeches to which they have in turn latched on to further whip up primordial sentiments.
”The PDP cannot now seek to benefit from the problems it caused in the first instance. This party (PDP) and its leader, the President, have divided Nigerians in general and Lagos residents in particular more than any individual or group and at any time in history.”
The party has therefore advised President Jonathan to refrain from carrying out electoral fraud so as not to rubbish his legacy of free and fair elections.
Meanwhile, the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Lagos state, Jimi Agbaje, has also voiced concerns that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has perfected plans to rig tomorrow’s governorship and House of Assembly elections in Lagos State.
Agbaje’s Director of Publicity, Mr. Felix Oboagwina, said in a statement made available to ThisDay that the state government had posted agents to the polling units, who would spy on and report civil servants who voted against APC’s governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode.
