Delta PDP: We Have Discovered APC’s Rigging Plots

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State says it has discovered the set of rigging strategies to be employed by the All Progressives Congress, APC in the forthcoming election and would frustrate them.

The party in a statement further disclosed that the rigging plot envisaged strong collaboration with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

A statement by the publicity secretary of the PDP in Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza read in part:

“Our thorough investigations reveal that the first ploy in the uncovered series of stratagems to tinker with the February 23 and March 9th elections, is a deceptive tactic designed to make President Buhari and the APC candidates gain the upper hand through the underhand manipulation of pre-loading and stuffing of the Card Readers before accreditation with pre-determined names of fictitious voters.

“In other words, the import of the plot is to manipulate the smart card readers so as to substitute biometric accreditation with manual verification of already pre-loaded names thus paving way for mass rigging and allocation of fictitious votes for President Buhari and other APC Candidates during the elections.

“In addition to this brazen plot, we also have it on good authority that the ultimate plan of the supposed independent electoral umpire is to allegedly swap the original result sheets at the collation centres, all part of the grand desperation to manipulate the electoral process, short-change the will of the people and rig the election in favour of the unpopular Buhari and the APC candidates.

Continuing, the PDP said that “impeccable information of a martial directive from the high command of the APC, to INEC to do everything possible, both legitimate and illegitimate, legal and illegal, covert and dubious, crooked and manipulative, to ensure that they deliver victory to the APC Candidate for Isoko Federal Constituency, at all cost, during the Saturday, February 23, 2019 National Assembly election in Isoko land.”

“We want to state loud and clear and with unflinching authority, that the Delta State PDP, has no doubts whatsoever that this information is authentic and incontrovertible and we hereby use this medium to caution INEC to be extremely careful and conduct a free, fair, transparent and credible election, even as we advise the electoral umpire to desist from any untoward acts that may potentially damage it’s credibility as an independent conductor and engender an avoidable conflict that can heat up the Isoko nation dangerously and explode into a crisis that may jeopardise the democratic process and uncontrollably.”
