The All Progressives Congress (APC) says the allegation by
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of a plot to rig the 2023 general election
is because of the popularity of Bola Tinubu.
The ruling party said this in reaction to a claim by the PDP.
The PDP had alleged that the recent attacks on the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) facilities are part of the
APC’s plans to scuttle the conduct of the 2023 general election.
In an earlier statement on Wednesday, Festus Keyamo, spokesperson
of the APC presidential campaign council, had said security agencies need to
question PDP leaders over the alleged plot linked to APC.
In a statement on Thursday, Felix Morka, APC spokesperson,
dismissed the attempt by PDP to link Tinubu, APC presidential candidate, to the
attacks on INEC offices.
Morka said the “false allegations only belies their twisted
wish that next year’s election be averted as a face-saving exit strategy for
what they already know would turn out to be a well-rounded electoral interment
of their decadent and expired party”.
“We stand united with INEC in its effort to conduct a free,
transparent and fair election next year. We have and continue to,
unequivocally, condemn attacks on INEC’s facilities and staff, urge our
security agencies to protect these important facilities, and to bring
perpetrators of these acts to justice,” he said.
“PDP’s vain attempt to associate our respected and
respectable Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to their
imagined plot to disrupt our elections is beyond the pale.
“PDP has always been intimidated by the towering popularity
of our Presidential Candidate who is tirelessly traversing the length and
breadth of our country justifying his bid for the highest office in the land,
and renewing hope of a more vibrant future for all Nigerians.
“The new electoral act, the introduction of the Bimodal
Voter Accreditation System (BVAS); the conduct of credible off-season elections
in Anambra, Osun and Ekiti; adequate funding of INEC and improved capability of
the security forces remain pointers to this unassailable fact.”
