APC Plots Termination of Election Process in Edo State- PDP Chairman

The leadership of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has raised an alarm, alleging that the opposition party in the state, the All-Progressives Congress, APC is plotting to influence the termination of the ongoing collation of results of the governorship election held today throughout Edo State. A statement signed by Tony Aziegbemi, chairman of the PDP in the state said the APC was putting pressure on the military to withdraw from the collation centre, so has to clear the way for political thugs to disrupt the process.
Aziegbemi said this was because as results trickled in the APC was coming to grip with the reality of a defeat at the election.
According to him, “We have learnt that the APC is mobilising thugs to disrupt the collation process. They are piling pressure on the military to withdraw from the collation centres to achieve their devious plans.

“As we expected, the results are trickling in and we have the upper hand. But in panic mode, the APC is activating its sleeper cells to disrupt the collation centre after seeing signs of their imminent defeat.”

Aziegbemi noted that the APC’s alternate plan is to call for the election process to be terminated so as to save face, adding, “The APC is also plotting to terminate the voting process as they are scared of defeat. We are calling on all lovers of democracy to watch them closely.”
