APC Raises Alarm Over PDP’s Plans To Disrupt Results Collations Nationwide

Posted on February 23, 2019
With the Nigeria’s Presidential and National Assembly over few hours ago and the National Independent Electoral Commission has begun collations of results nationwide, ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC) has raised the alarm of the plans of the major opposition party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to disrupt the collation process.
Though not official, pockets of results coming from various polling units across the country indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC is winning.
The Presidential Campaign Council of the APC through the Director, Strategic Communications of the Council, Festus Keyamo alleged Saturday evening that “It has come to our knowledge from insiders within the PDP Campaign Council who are making last-minute efforts to switch allegiance to President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress that the PDP is currently recruiting armed thugs and miscreants nationwide to attack ward and local government collation centres this evening till the wee hours of tomorrow morning.
“The purpose is to disrupt the collation process of the elections nationwide in order to cause crises and make this election inclusive. As we know, most of these collation centres are usually in schools or other places that are poorly protected.
“This is therefore a clarion call to all law enforcement agencies to mobilise extra armed security to protect all collation centres nationwide. We also appeal to Nigerians of goodwill and our supporters to provide standby electricity this night at these collation centres.
“We also call on all our party agents, supporters and patriotic Nigerians to stick with these election results from the various units up to the State Collation Centres. There is no cause for any political party at this stage to jubilate or be dejected. Nothing has been won and nothing has been lost. Official results have not been declared. Hence we call for eternal vigilance on the part of our agents and supporters.
“We repeat: NOBODY SHOULD JUBILATE NOW AND ABANDON HIS/HER DUTIES. LET US KEEP OUR FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND AND STICK WITH OUR ASSIGNED ROLE(S) UNTIL FINAL RESULTS ARE DECLARED BY INEC”.
