“PDP Plans to Cause Mayhem in Lagos during the Coming Election”, Says Lagos ACN.

The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria has alerted Nigerians of a plan being hatched at Aso Rock to cause total anarchy in Lagos as a way the PDP hopes to capture Lagos in the coming election. The party urges Lagosians and the general public to be at alert to frustrate this devilish plan that threatens to plunge the state into a theater of blood to satisfy the bestial interests of the PDP.

In a release in Lagos, signed by the party’s Lagos State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, Lagos CAN said there was a recent meeting in Aso Rock where ex convict; Bode George was given the condition to deliver Lagos by hook or crook so as to get a presidential pardon. The party says it is prepared for PDP and its devilish plans and wants Lagosians to stay awake to frustrate this evil design.

“The fact on the ground is that the PDP knows it is dreaming in vain to capture Lagos, a state that has never tolerated the kind of reactionary and decrementing politics the PDP stands for. The woes of the PDP is compounded by its woeful performance these past twelve years, which has worsened the state of the country and made Nigerians beggars and hungry slaves in the midst of ceaseless oil wealth. The party, notorious for adopting crude means to access power in Nigeria knows that Nigerians are angry and fed up with it hence it cannot win any free and fair election in Nigeria today.

“With several fruitless attempts and with their woes being exacerbated by the sparkling performance of the ACN government in Lagos, PDP knows that its wild dream cannot be realized unless it adopts bizarre extreme methods to steal Lagos but it will fail as it has failed in the past. The recent outings of the PDP in Lagos have failed woefully to persuade Lagosians and they have seen it in empty rally venues and vacuous messages that have refused to move Lagosians to move away from a performing party to a party notorious for stealing with impunity the resources that should be employed to improve the lots of the people. With no presence in every part of Lagos, with candidates that do not even know how to articulate the interests of the people, the PDP at the national level has found out that its dream of capturing Lagos is a wild hallucination that can never ever come to fruition in any free and fair election.

“With these dreary scenarios and with the increasing disaffection of Nigerians for the PDP, it has just resorted to one of its many crude options of planning mayhem on Lagos as a way of compromising the coming election in Lagos and cause the cancellation of the election. Knowing that its many wild plans to steal Lagos are falling to the resilient position of articulate and sophisticated Lagosians, and still attracted to the enviable status of Lagos, the PDP recently convened a high level meeting in Aso Rock where it tied its promise of state pardon to convicted chieftain of the party, Bode George to destabilizing elections in Lagos so as to force the cancellation of the elections in Lagos. The driving force in this desperate plan is that if the PDP cannot win or steal the precious votes of Lagosians, it must pull the house down, cause chaos and mayhem so as to compromise the polls in Lagos and offer the PDP a window to enter Lagos and steal the state eventually.

“Lagos ACN therefore alerts Lagosians to be ready for the full blown plan of the PDP and be ready to frustrate their devilish and very selfish plans as they come. We urge every Lagosians to be at full alert and report any mischievous move to both the Lagos State government and the law enforcement agencies. We urge every neighborhood to be at alert and monitor suspicious movements to relevant authorities and we want all Lagosians to guard their votes jealously as that is the power they have to vote for the continuation of the wonderful achievements they have been seeing in Lagos and which has made the PDP so uncomfortable that it could stop at nothing to frustrate, if not for anything, for the fact that it prevents Nigerians to see the possibilities that exist in Nigeria outside the PDP’s crude approach to governance that sees public fund as free meal to share amongst party members.

“We want to charge the PDP to adhere to the wise counsels of many of their members, among whom is Governor Aliyu Babangida of Niger State, who told them that Lagos is a no go area for the party given the wonderful performance of the ACN government in Lagos State. We want to let them know that Lagosians know of their evil plans and are well mobilized to frustrate them as they come.”
