The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of piling pressure on the military to withdraw from collation centers.
OsunDailyNG reports that the Edo State governorship election was held today, with results from polling units, wards and local government areas already being collated.
In a statement on Saturday evening, State Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, said that the APC is doing this to pave the way for thugs who are to work with some unscrupulous policemen in disrupting the collation of results.
According to him, “We have learnt that the APC is mobilizing thugs to disrupt the collation process. They are piling pressure on the military to withdraw from the collation centres to achieve their devious plans.
“As we expected, the results are trickling in and we have the upper hand. But in panic mode, the APC is activating its sleeper cells to disrupt the collation centres after seeing signs of their imminent defeat.”
He noted that the APC’s alternate plan is to call for the election process to be terminated so as to save face.
Aziegbemi added, “The APC is also plotting to terminate the voting process as they are scared of defeat. We are calling on all lovers of democracy to watch them closely.”
