The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has issued an alert that some senior INEC officials posted to Lagos for the conduct of Saturday’s election are meeting the trio of the PDP governorship candidate for Lagos, Jimi Agbaje, Chief Olabode George and Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe tomorrow for the purpose of perfecting the plan by the PDP to rig the presidential election in Lagos. The party says that the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega is by this release put on notice that some of his officials are being induced by the PDP to manipulate coming Saturday’s election in Lagos.
In a release in Lagos signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that the meeting which is scheduled to hold at a location in Lagos is meant to compromise the INEC officials with monetary and other inducements so as to compromise the integrity of the election too favour PDP. The party calls on all Lagosians to be at alert so as to frustrate the evil plots of the PDP to steal their votes in Saturday’s election.
“As it becomes obvious to the PDP that its arrays of desperate measures to force Lagosians to vote for it have failed, the party has resorted to the last ditch tactics of buying and compromising electoral officers to rig for them. We challenge PDP to deny this insidious plot to meet with senior INEC officials tomorrow so as to induce them with the free money the PDP has been desperately using to buy and procure all manners of pseudo support to its crumbling dreams for re election. As its efforts to bribe traditional rulers, traders associations, Igbo groups, Afenifere, OPC to support it have failed to move the determined resolve of the good people of Lagos to end the woe-laden regime that has pauperized and despoiled them, the PDP has resorted to indecent and clandestine meetings with electoral officers with a view to compromise them to tilt the outcome of the coming elections to their favour. We want to let them know that we have details of their clandestine movements and that Lagosisbs will frustrate them as they have done all the strings of desperate moves by the PDP to con their support.
“We task Prof. Jega to closely monitor the activities of the men he sent to Lagos, in view of this release as we will furnish him details of the officials involved in this plot against the will of the people of Lagos. It is just too natural to see why PDP desperately wants to manipulate Lagos as the grand failure of the gargantuan bribery, vote buying, PVC mop up, inciting gun trotting hoodlums to protest, embarking on a mad, primitive Zander foolish war with APC posters all over Lagos, with tacit support of the police and other security agencies have rather worsened the bad case of the PDP in Lagos.
“Lagos APC charges Lagosians to be watchful and alert and report to the party the clandestine moves by the PDP to rig the coming election. We urge a Lagosians to stand firm and frustrate any effort by the PDP and its agents to steal and divert their votes during Saturday’s election. We want to remind Lagosians that these last minutes to the dawn of the badly needed change Nigerians have yearned for requires a heightened degree of vigilance as the PDP, worked up by the prospects of defeat, tries every crooked means to manipulate the election.”
