The Yobe State All Progressive Congress (APC) has alleged that the People?s Democratic Party (PDP) is planning for a shift in the conduct of the general election in four north east states of Adamawa, Borno, Gombe and Yobe states.
A statement issued by the state secretary of the Party Mr. Abubakar Bakabe stated that, ?we are concern with the phony plan by the PDP for a shift in the conduct of the general elections in Adamawa, Borno, Yobe and Gombe states from the reschedule march 28th and 11th April, 2015 to pave way for the PDP to rig the election and augment their poor performances in other states through the use of security forces to be massively deployed to the states?
The statement also ?condemn in strong terms the ill-conceived plan for a serial rape of democracy in Nigeria by sinking party that foresees ultimate failure in the forthcoming election and is therefore afraid of facing Nigerians at the polls due to its failure in the last 15 years of leadership?
?We are also concern with the hidden agenda contained in the heinous plan to intimidate, disenfranchise, and rig the election reminiscent of what happened in the Ekiti states governorship election last year, through massive deployment of security forces to create an environment for rigging?
The party according to the statement advises the PDP to refrain from this obnoxious, dangerous and undemocratic stand posing great threat to the democracy in Nigeria.
It further reminded security agencies on the need to be highly professional, patriotic and to abide by the international best practices and also enjoin the Independent National electoral commission (INEC) and other stakeholders not to be distracted by such devilish, unpatriotic and undemocratic plans aim at thwarting the smooth transition and successful conduct of the general election in Nigeria come 28th March and 11th April 2015.
