Festus Keyamo (SAN), spokesperson
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign, says President
Muhammadu Buhari cannot consider rigging the elections given the support he’s
receiving from Nigerians.
Keyamo made the remark in
reaction to the crowd that received the president in Sokoto on Wednesday.
Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo had questioned the ability of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to conduct a free, fair and credible election.
Theophilus Danjuma, former
minister of defence, had alleged that the Buhari-led administration has plans
to use police and soldiers to rig the polls.
The US had also raised concerns
over the neutrality of security agencies in the elections. The opposition
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has also raised similar concerns.
In response to the concerns,
Keyamo said those who are making such allegations should prepare to hide their
faces in shame.
“When they see these sea of
heads, they prepare to hide their faces in shame by alleging rigging plans,”
Keyamo tweeted on Wednesday.
“Pray, with this kind of support
nationwide, why would PMB ever contemplate rigging?”
