The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has said it is prepared and ready for the Saturday’s governorship
election in Anambra State.
According to the main opposition
Party, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and
security agencies deployed for the election should be neutral in the conduct of
the election.
In a statement issued on Friday
by its National Publicity Secretary, Dayo Adeyeye, the PDP said, “the Anambra
election is a litmus test for INEC and another opportunity for the Ruling All
Progressive Congress (APC), to redeem itself from the culture of impunity,
inconclusive elections and rigging as exhibited in previous elections in Edo,
Ondo and other by-elections in the Country.”
The Party also said it wants to
“join other well-meaning Nigerians to condemn the recent withdrawal of personal
security of the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano by the Inspector
General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
“Notwithstanding that President
Buhari ordered the reinstatement of Governor’s security aides, this recent
action by the Police is a clear signal that the Force is working to favour some
individuals in the State or destabilize the Governorship Election in Anambra
State.
“In view of the above, we are
again, sounding a note of warning that we will not accept any manipulation of
results in Anambra State. The INEC and all security agencies deployed for the
election must remain neutral and unbiased before, during and after the
Election.
“We insist that this election in
Anambra State and others henceforth must be free, fair, credible and
transparent. Anything short of these will not be acceptable to us.”
The PDP further called, “on the
people of Anambra State to protect their PVC and come out en masse to vote for
our Governorship Candidate, Mr. Henry Oseloka Obaze and his Running Mate, Lady
Chidi Onyemelukwe as Governor and Deputy Governor, respectively.
“We also urge the electorate in
Anambra to vote and stay to protect their votes from polling units to the
Collation Centers in order to scuttle the planned replacement of Authentic
Results Sheet by the APC.
“Finally, we call on all election
monitors and observers to maintain vigilance during the period of the Election.
The success of our electoral processes depends largely on the hard-work of
observers and monitors exposing election riggers and vote theft.”
