The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP says it welcomes the
European Union’s visa ban and asset seizure against election riggers.
The nation’s foremost opposition party commended the UK
government for its quick response alongside the US in their bid to stop electoral
fraud being perpetrated by leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and
their alleged compromised Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and
security officials.
“The @OfficialPDPNig welcomes the decision of the
@EUinNigeria to impose Visa ban as well as the seizure of assets and property
belonging to those involved in undermining our electoral process, particularly
ahead of the Edo and Osun governorship elections,” the PDP said in a statement
it shared on Twitter on Wednesday.
The PDP further called on other countries such as the United
Arab Emirates, Dubai, France, Spain, Canada as well as African countries and
the ECOWAS to also ban such politicians and their family members.
“Our party, being the genuine Pan Nigeria political platform
standing with the Nigerian people, urges the world community to profile the
election riggers and their agents in @inecnigeria and security agencies and ban
their family members from benefiting from services from other countries of the
world.
“On the Edo governorship election, those at the forefront of
the undermining of our democratic process, including the @OfficialAPCNg
candidate, @IzeIyamu4EdoGov, vote who was seen publicly directing thugs,
cultists and killers as tigers and lions to invade polling units and unleash
violence on election day, should be immediately profiled for sanctions.
“The same goes to the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi
Akeredelo, who was publicly exposed by a confessed @OfficialAPCNg militant and
former APC chairman in the state, Isaac Kekemeke, as being behind the violent
attacks against our party in the state.
“On our own part, the @OfficialPDPNig remains law-abiding
but will never allow anybody to use any means whatsoever, to manipulate the Edo
and Ondo governorship election.
“Never! Not after the people of Edo state had manifestly
expressed their resolve to re-elect our candidate, @GovernorObaseki and when
the people of Ondo state have resolved to replace the failed Governor Akeredolu
with our candidate, @TayoJegedeSAN on September 19 and October 10
respectively.”
