Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has slipped into panic
mode over the Osun state governorship election.
The election is scheduled for
Saturday.
In a statement on Friday,
Mohammed who is chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council
for the election, said the opposition party is jittery because it did not
prepare for the poll.
The minister said the allegations
by the PDP that the APC is planning to rig the election could not be
substantiated.
“The PDP and some of its top
members have accused INEC, the police and other security agencies as well as
the NYSC of all sorts of things. They have made allegations of thuggery and
rigging against the APC,” the statement read.
“None of the accusations has been
substantiated. If only the party had invested its energy in preparing for the
election, it may not have become so jittery.
“Unfortunately, the die is cast
and the PDP has seen the handwriting on the wall, hence the party’s slip into
the panic mode.
“On our part, we have confidence
in the various institutions saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a
successful election in Osun state. We have no need for thuggery or rigging
because the people are solidly behind us.”
