Kogi: PDP Accuses APC Of Violent Plots

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP in  Kogi State has accused Governor Yahaya Bello and the  All Progressives Progess, APC, of planning to arrest, detain and eliminate its  supporters in the state ahead of the forthcoming election.

PDP claimed that the APC-led government was planning to deploy special uniformed men with both local and imported weapons from other states to arrest, abduct, detain and eliminate prominent PDP members across the state.

The party in a statement by its Deputy Director of Public Communications, Austin Okai, on Monday said the plan was part of the scheme by the ruling party to massively rig the governorship election this weekend.

The PDP thus urged security operatives to “beam their searchlight on Kogi East where the new Deputy Governor,  Edward Onoja was installed to guarantee political immunity on him.

“this is against the backdrop of the governor’s complaint that most of his political appointees were not known in their various localities, and the marching order to deliver their various constituencies to the party at all costs and also Governor Bello’s statement that he cannot afford to lose the election.”

The Party claimed that the denial and threat of violence and death led to the cancellation of its campaign tour in Kogi Central, where the governor hails from, while calling on its supporters to be vigilant.

The PDP further appealed to security agencies to give special protection to the people from Okene, Adavi and Okehi.
