Our attention has been drawn to an untrue, fake and unsubstantiated claim by the Opposition of our Great Party, APC in an online “National News” of February,15,2019 which stated ” Vigilant residents of Ijede road in Ikorodu Local Government of Lagos State, busted a group of Political thugs, at an hideout in Ijede area of Lagos State, where they were met thumb printing for our Great Party APC for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections”
The claim furthered that “while the said Culprits were attempting to escape with an APC branded Toyota Sienna Bus, it resulted in accident where some APC members lost their lives”.
I am categorically stating that this statement is absolutely far from the truth, shrouded with fallacy, branded with hypocrisy, never occurred, but crafted with the intent of preparing for cheap and untenable excuses by our oppositions in readiness for their imminent defeat at the forthcoming 2019 General polls.
Our great Party APC and Candidates are very popular in Lagos State and in the entire country,we still remain strong,unpertubed and unshaken in our Local Government while other Political Parties are grasping for breathe,we would not lose a sleep just because of this,but rather advise our Oppositions to be at least smarter in their fraudulent gimmicks, we already knew them as Congenital and Pathological liars.
We therefore challenge them to provide the exact address of the said hideout where the thumbprinting was taking place,the exact venue that the accident occurred, the names of APC members that died in the process. Though for records purpose, the APC branded Bus for Ijede LCDA is still moving around the town campaigning for our Party and Candidates without blemishes and Security Operatives were fully on ground In readineas for yesterday’s election before the Postponement for such issue to go unnoticed.
We in the APC will never mourn our members but would defeat our oppositions in landslide in the forthcoming elections by the special grace of Allah in a free, fair and credible manner.
