Delta PDP uncovers APC’s plot to disrupt March 9 polls
Palpable fear has gripped the Delta state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the alleged plot by the All Progressive Congress (APC) to disrupt the March 9 polls in the state.
PDP’s Director General, Campaign Organization in the state, Funkekeme Solomon at a media briefing in Asaba, alleged that APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole among others, have perfected plans to engage the services of deadly political thugs to disrupt the March 9 elections in PDP strongholds, especially in the riverine areas.
He added that the thugs armed with offensive weapons and masks, would launch aggressive attacks on PDP strongholds, intimidate and identify innocent PDP loyalists as criminals to security men, with the aim of frustrating, preventing and disrupting the exercise, to pave the way for election postponement in the affected areas to aid its manipulation.
The alleged invasion, according to the PDP chieftain, was to perfect the persistent threats credited to Oshiomhole to take over Delta state by all means, adding that “the APC in its desperate move to re-act the drama it perfected in Osun state, which saw its enthronement in PDP controlled states, wants to repeat the drama in Delta state, but God has exposed them.”
While saying that PDP will not tolerate any act of terrorism in the state, PDP the director general said that the state had conceived and accepted the rotation of political power among the three senatorial districts for peace and socio -economic advancement of the state.
Funkekeme however, warned that any attempt to forcefully disrupt the electoral process and government in the state would be viewed as an act of treason, adding that the former Governor of the state, Emmanuel Uduaghan allegedly out of frustrations for failure to secure the ticket for Delta South Senatorial seat had reportedly joined forces with Great Ogboru, the APC governorship candidate to allegedly cause mayhem.
