PDP, Akwa Ibom has come out to allege that APC is planning to rig the governorship and State assemblies election this Saturday.
In a recently released statement titled “Army’s Show of Force: A Smokescreen for Election Rigging for the APC,” PDP urged the army to flee from partial politics and remain professional throughout the polls.
The statement read, “The recent show of force and subsequent declaration of 10 “local Government areas as flash points by the Nigerian army is a veiled rigging plan for the APC. This plan we have learnt was hatched after the failure of the army to effectively intervene at the Ikot Ekpene collation center to save Senator Godswill Akpabio.
“This announcement is therefore a smokescreen to aid the Army high command to deploy military personnel to aid in the hijack of election materials in favour of the APC. As a party we are at a loss as to the foundation or basis for the declaration of those areas as flashpoints.
“It is common knowledge that no casualty was recorded in the last elections in Akwa Ibom state, unlike other states where scores of people were killed and maimed”
The party then urged all Akwa Ibom indigens to come out in large numbers on election day to exercise their franchise.
