APC accuses PDP of buying, cloning PVCs
The APC has accused the PDP of buying and cloning of voter’s cards to enable the party have a slide win in the scheduled Thursday rerun Governorship election in the state.
The ruling party raised this alarm in a statement released at the party secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday through its acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, saying that the party received this fresh report from its field officers in the state.
The statement reads in part : “As a follow-up to our earlier statements on the PDP plans to rig Thursday’s Osun State governorship rerun election, the APC has received fresh reports from our field agents on the ongoing cloning of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) by PDP agents.
“We view this development as bizarre and a sign of the desperation of the PDP to takeover Osun State by all illegal means.
“While we call on INEC to urgently investigate the development and promptly arrest persons behind the cloning, we strongly advise INEC to ensure that its voters register is not tampered with”.
The party also called on INEC and security agencies to speak publicly on measures being taken to stop the ongoing vote buying by PDP agents which has become widespread in the State.
“We call for calm in the face of the already tense situation caused by the PDP’s now public rigging plot. The Osun electorate must remain alert and resist any plot to subvert the people’s will and manipulate the rerun election.
“Commendably, the police already have in its custody a PDP stalwart who led other PDP leaders to buy up voters cards ahead of Thursday’s governorship rerun as there remains much to be done to ensure the credibility of the forthcoming rerun election”.
