The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has, again, accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of masterminding a plot to postpone the forthcoming general election.
In a statement on Friday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP’s national publicity secretary, alleged that the APC planned to take advantage of insecurity to “impose an undemocratic situation on our country”.
“Our party had earlier alerted the nation of a well-oiled plot by the APC to orchestrate security situation and promote circumstances to warrant the postponement of the 2023 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),” the statement reads.
“The APC and its presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu know that they have no chance at all in the coming elections, having been rejected by Nigerians because of their multiple failures, recklessness, humongous corruption, violence and continuing infliction of pains, hardship and life-discounting experiences on Nigerians in the last seven and half years.
“The APC and its leaders are desperate to use their doomsday orchestrations to frighten and blackmail INEC to alter the electoral schedule after which the APC will take advantage of the situation to unsettle the general election, foist a constitutional crisis and truncate the nation’s democratic process.
“The PDP therefore charges INEC, as an independent institution, not to succumb to the blackmails of the APC but focus on its preparations and fix its eyes on delivering a free, fair, transparent and credible election on February 25, 2023.”
This is not the first time the PDP is accusing the APC of trying to disrupting the general election.
