The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised the alarm over President Goodluck Jonathan’s unexpected visit to Lagos state a day to the governorship poll.
The party accused PDP of its desperation to take Lagos state at all cost, comprising using fake result sheets which were flown in from Abuja for Saturday’s polls, cautioning that the people will refuse any try to steal their votes.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC National Publicity Secretary, in a comment released in Lagos on Friday, April 10, said the rigging plots are being led by President Jonathan, who has already flown into Lagos where he has held a meeting with his point men, comprising Musiliu Obanikoro, Jimi Agbaje and Gani Adams.
It said that before the meeting, keen-sighted-eyed Nigerians who are afraid of the PDP’s rigging plots have widely circulated on the social media the details of the planned electoral malfeasance, comprising the airlifting from Abuja to Lagos of a Black Kia Mohave SUV, with plate number DHQ 340, which was packed with poll materials (especially result sheets).
“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?” the party questioned.
“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. If today things are being said that should not have been said, it is the direct consequence of the PDP’s divisiveness,” it added.
The APC urged the current leader to desist from any retaliation mission that will only rubbish whatever is left of his so-called legacy of free and fair polls.
A video recording recently emerged of an intelligence officer in the Nigerian Army, Captain Sagir Koli, giving details of how General Momoh was used by Mr. Obanikoro, Ayo Fayose and others to rig the election in Ekiti state.
