The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop making moves to
recapture Rivers, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Taraba and Delta States, saying the
move will fail.
The PDP called on security agencies and other critical stakeholders
in the electoral tribunal process in these states to be on the alert
and ensure that
they do not succumb to what it called the ‘antics’ of
the APC.
The party described the statement by the All Progressives Congress
(APC), that it was obstructing justice at the Rivers State governorship
tribunal, as failed cheap blackmail and an infantile attempt to “cover
their illegality of using state security agencies” to attempt to subvert
the victory of the PDP in the governorship election in the states.
A statement by PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh
yesterday said the APC's reaction to the petition written to President
Muhammadu Buhari by 16 PDP federal lawmakers from Rivers state, showed
its desperation to grab power through the back door.
"We are aware of all the clandestine moves by the APC to capture
power in Rivers and other PDP states, including Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia
and Taraba states by all means, using such ploy. Our answer to the APC
is that their antics cannot yield any results. These states are core PDP
state and no amount of propaganda, blackmail, threats and intimidation
can overturn the resounding verdict of the people as expressed in the
governorship elections”, the PDP said.
