The PDP says opposition parties are planning to kill defenceless INEC officials and to disrupt elections.
“We have heard about the plot of some political parties, including the APC, Labour and the SDP, to bomb INEC offices at the grassroots,” the Rivers State PDP Director of Publicity and Communications, Ogbonna Nwuke, said in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES.
Mr Nwuke described the allegations by the candidates, including Tonye Cole of the APC, as “the banter of half – wits who are busy quarrelling with even the air that they breath while they quarell with their tools.” “Rather than campaigning among the people, they made this year’s election a media event. Now that they know the people are prepared to vote for the PDP, they are crying wolf.
“Council premises that INEC is planning to use are public facilities. They belong to the third tier of government and not the Rivers State Government which is the second tier of government. These facilities will be protected by security officials controlled by the Federal Government which is the first tier of government.
“We urge Rivers people to ignore them. We also urge Rivers people to vote massively for Siminalayi Fubara and all the candidates of the PDP.
