The People’s Democratic Party, PDP has called on Nigerians and the International Community to be aware of plots by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to frustrate and ultimately disrupt the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
The party said the plot was in compliance with the directive by the Presidential Candidate of the APC Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to his Party members to deploy violence and snatch power in the 2023 general elections.
National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Debo Ologunagba in a statement said that APC having realized that it has been rejected, has commenced its violent attacks to frustrate the conduct of the elections.
He said PDP therefore alerts the security agencies to take immediate steps to investigate and stop the APC on its vicious plot to derail our democratic process.
“The INEC should immediately invoke its regulatory powers and impose sanctions on the APC Presidential Candidate for constituting a clear and present danger to the electoral process. Our Party also calls on the International Community to impose strict sanctions including travel restrictions on APC leaders found culpable of instigating and encouraging violence in the electoral process.
“The PDP again demands that President Muhammadu Buhari should call Asiwaju Tinubu and his Party members to order so that Nigerians can peacefully choose their next President through a free, fair, transparent and credible electoral process.
“The choice of who becomes the President of Nigeria rests on the Will of the people through the free exercise of their votes and the APC Presidential Candidate should come to terms with the resolve of Nigerians to vote in the PDP Candidate, Atiku Abubakar as the next President.
“Asiwaju Tinubu must accept the fact that Atiku Abubakar, is more popular and possess the competence, requisite experience, presence of mind, mental alertness, physical stamina and political will that Nigerians earnestly yearn for in a leader at this critical time.
“We therefore call on Nigerians not to succumb to the proclivities of the APC but remain resolute in defending our democratic process and rallying with the PDP in our mission to Rescue, Rebuild and Redirect our nation from the suffocating government of the APC. “
