The Peoples Democratic Party has accused the All Progressives Congress of engaging in clandestine moves to upturn the victory won by the party in Delta, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states.
It stated that the APC had begun moves to procure and compromise some stakeholders in the elections, including the Independent National Electoral Commission and security personnel, “to bear false witness and doctor electoral materials against the PDP at the tribunal.”
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, who addressed a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, said the APC should be held responsible should there be any breakdown of law and order in Rivers, Delta and Akwa-Ibom states.
According to him, the APC is instigating crisis and inciting the people while mobilising resources to arm-twist the judiciary “ostensibly to torpedo the will of the people in these states.”
This, he said, was in addition to sponsoring negative publications in some sections of the media, laced with false claims and distortion of election figures to suit their nefarious plans of swaying public opinion and the course of justice against the PDP in these states.
“We know that the main of aim behind APC’s desperation to take over these three states is their belief that they are strategic to the PDP and that taking them away will further weaken and undermine our party and accelerate the quest for a one-party state in our country,” Metuh stated.
He drew the attention of the judiciary, INEC and security authorities to the alleged scheme by the APC to drag their institution and men into the criminal plot, urging the institutions to closely monitor their officials involved in the elections.
He said, “In particular, our findings show that in Delta, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states, the APC machinery is working round the clock to ensure that it upturn the victory of the PDP and the mandate freely given to us by the people in these states.
“We are aware of the clandestine moves by the APC to procure and compromise some stakeholders in the elections including INEC and security personnel to bear false witness and doctor electoral materials against the PDP at the tribunal.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You never had any "victory" in these States, not in any at all, so what are you talking about oga Metuh?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened next those states were not different from what happened in other states that APC won. Check out IMO, LAGOS, KANO ,SO KOTO, KADUNA and indeed the entire north.so one should paint any picture of fraud only in those three states of the Niger delta. He who ask for equity Must come with a clean hand.let INEC published the data in their server to show Nigerians the number of accredited voters by card readers and the total number of voters in the respective states then we can conclude how free and fair the election was. The allegation of APC is still part of the conspiracy of the north against the Niger delta
DeleteIdot!!! let they PDP governors in Imo, Lagos, Kano, sokoto and Kaduna go to the tribunal and bring their own evidenences... you fool!!! stop coming here to comment on their behave... May the BLood of all those they kill because they are in the opposition follow you and your generation.
DeleteAMEN
DeleteMetuh should fear God and be truthful for once. Irrefutable evidence reveals PDP's fraud in these states. So what is he talking about? Abegi
ReplyDeleteLet the evidence speak for itself. There is no need for mud throwing and arguments. The tribunal will review the evidence and decide.
ReplyDeleteI do not like adults crying wolf. Allow the process to take its course. Nigerians will judge if there has been foul play.
ReplyDeleteMetuh is really a pitiable sight! that was how he went ranting on Channels TV that the Governor of Ogun state is on his way to Ota to rig PDP out of the guber elections before the Governor called back to say that he was still in the government house awaiting the results of the election. If elections actually took place in those 3 states, PDP has not cause to fear!
ReplyDeleteLet him (Metuh) just keep his mouth shut for once!!!!!
those of you talking about rivers state you are either not in rivers or not from rivers,the pdp overwhelmingly won in the aforementioned state, they might have one or two issues esp in rivers, but trust me if u do those elections 10 times over pdp will win those state again and again.

ReplyDeletei don't want to comment again because the ones above are ok. But seriously, Metuh is just a devil incarnate..
ReplyDeletedid anybody stop the Pdpigs from going to the tribunal if they had concrete evidence that APC rigged? tribunals is not for APC against PDP, its a panel for all aggrieved. so if PDP has proof that APC rigged in these Northern state as they claim, go to the tribunal and stop whining like B******.
ReplyDeleteSo APC is not satisfy with all the States they won so far? why making trouble here and there? this so called Ameachi is something else o? please we need peace in this country to reign, the people of Rivers State said they don't want you again Ameachi, why not lay down your sworn and stop causing chaos in the city of rivers state, remember God will judge all our actions
ReplyDeletePDP Agents, we do tribunals in 36 states, go to tribunals and stop begging public support against another party that decides to follow democratic processes by going to tribunal.
ReplyDeleteIs it GEJ attorney general that will appoint judges to the tribunal?
