APC National chairman, Adams Oshiomhole has come out to say that anyone who disagrees with the deployment of soldiers for elections are enemies of democracy and the country.
He revealed that it is a needed form of security in case anything threatens to go south during elections.
He noted that PDP members, who were staring defeat in the face in the election are the ones coming up with plans and thugs to obstruct the democractic process.
His words, “We have one or two incidents where thugs allegedly hired by the PDP came to disrupt the elections by shooting sporadically in an attempt to cart away election materials. But the people were determined and with soldiers patrolling the area, the situation was brought to normal.’’
“As you know, Ogbido and Ulouke are areas were APC got 99.9 percent votes during the presidential and National Assembly election, so disrupting the election will affect the results. But soldiers were on hand to curtail the situation.
“This is why when some armchair analysts dispute the idea of deploying military for elections, we said only enemies of democracy and Nigeria including merchants of violence will support such campaign against military deployment.”
