The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not prepared for the forthcoming Edo and Ondo
State governorship elections.
APC says the PDP has resorted to spinning conspiracies about
planned postponement of the elections.
Yekini Nabena, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, said
this in a statement on Thursday.
He stressed that the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) is in charge of polls and that the APC cannot speak on
rescheduling or otherwise.
Nabena noted that it was PDP’s practice to interfere in INEC
operations and that the APC has not copied “such undemocratic and ignoble
practice”.
“If the elections are held today, we are ready and confident
of victory based on our visible pro-people and development track records and
progressive plans for the good people of Edo and Ondo states.
“Our worry is the PDP’s threat of violence in the lead-up to
the Edo and Ondo governorship elections as echoed by the recent Amnesty
International report and other well-meaning concerns. As always, the PDP has
absolutely nothing to campaign on and has resorted to spreading fear.
“We will continue to
reiterate that no life is worth the inordinate ambition of any partisan. The
forthcoming elections must be peaceful, free, fair and credible. Votes must
count and the wish of the electorate must prevail on who governs them.
“We call on our state institutions particularly INEC, the
Judiciary and our security services not to be distracted by the PDP’s usual
manipulative and disruptive antics and concentrate on protecting our hard
fought and cherished democracy”, Nabena added.
