March 9: Steer Clear Of Niger Delta – PDP Cautious Buhari, APC

The People Democratic Party, PDP, has cautious President Buhari and APC to steer clear of all PDP strongholds, particularly Niger Delta region, ahead of the March 9 Governorship and State Assembly Elections.

The
party also warn VP Osinbajo and APC chairman to perish the thoughts of
using thugs to muscle and disrupt the Akwa-Ibom Governorship and Sate
assembly elections.

In a statement that was signed and made available to MEDIAHELM NEWS from the party chairman, Kola Ologbondiyan, he said:

The
PDP cautions President Buhari and his prowling APC to steer clear of
all PDP strongholds, particularly the Niger Delta region, ahead of the
March 9, Governorship and State Assembly elections, in order to avert a
widespread crisis in our country.

The party also counsels VP Prof
Osinbajo and APC factional Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, to perish APC’s
thoughts of using thugs to muscle the Akwa-Ibom governorship and state
assembly elections, as the people have been fully rallied for a firm
resistance on Saturday.

PDP’s position is predicated on the
on-going heavy shipment of security forces and armed thugs into PDP
strongholds, particularly, the Niger Delta region, with the view to
suppress voters and manipulate the March 9 electoral process for the APC

Since
the robbery of the PDP Presidential mandate, which Nigerians are
determined to reclaim at the tribunal, the APC has been jittery over the
escalated public support for the PDP not only to retain our states but
to ensure a sweeping victory for PDP in APC states

As a result,
the APC is desperate to unleash violence in oil rich Akwa-Ibom, Rivers,
Cross River, Delta, Bayelsa, Abia, as well as Benue, Taraba, Gombe,
Sokoto, Enugu, Ebonyi, Kwara, but these states & all other
strongholds of PDP, spanning across our nation, remain impregnable.

The
PDP warns that Nigerians are still livid over the rigging of the Feb.
23 Presidential election, which was clearly won by Atiku. As such, any
further attempt to test their collective will on March 9 is capable of
sparking off a huge civil restiveness across our nation.

We
invite Nigerians to note how Osinbajo, on Tuesday, at a town hall
meeting in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom state, boasted that he and Oshiomhole will
ensure that the APC will never be defeated and how thugs, loaded in over
50 buses,…

…who confessed to have been contracted by
Oshiomhole, were later intercepted on their way from Edo state to
Akwa-Ibom to cause mayhem during Saturday’s election.

The PDP has
full information on various secret locations in Akwa-Ibom state,
including hotels and other camps, where the APC has quartered thugs
ahead of Saturday’s election.

We note that the Police have
refused to evacuate these thugs. Let it be known that the people of Akwa
Ibom State Pdp AkwaIbom will never allow them to operate.
