The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP),Restoration Campaign Organization in
Bayelsa has uncovered plot by the All Progressives Congress, (APC) to
mislead the innocent voters through the spread of of falsehood and
propaganda particularly people of Southern Ijaw local government area of
the state as regards the January 9, 2016 rescheduled election and the
position of the Independent National electoral Commission, (INEC).
The latest of APC misdemeanor was concocted at a meeting held yesterday at
the instance of their embattled governorship candidate, Chief Timipre
Sylva ahead of the poll.
The Director General of the RCO Hon Fred Agbedi told newsmen in Yenagoa
that contrary to the INEC position that the rescheduled election will hold
in Southern Ijaw and 101 units across the state where the results were
cancelled, the APC is now spreading blatant lies that the Electoral Body
has upturned the already declared result which placed the PDP at vantage
position with over 33,000 votes.
Agbedi said the APC’s current gimmicks is to confused the people of
Southern Ijaw that the over 33, 000 votes that separated the party and the
PDP no longer stand and therefore they will have the upper hand on January
9.
He explained that during the stakeholders meeting in Abuja on Thursday
which had in attendance all the majority candidates, party chairmen and
the leadership of INEC, It was made very clearly that except Southern ijaw
and 101 units where results were not collated, all other results remained
valid and wondered why the APC selling the cheap lies but added he is not
surprise that it is their stock in trade.
The RCO asked Bayelsans to ignore the sponsored falsehood of the APC as it
is clearly that the security arrangement arising from the stakeholders
meeting has put them in a tight corner where they can not rig just as they
did shamelessly on December 6, in southern ijaw, stressing that there is
no iota of truth in the APC’s claim.
Agbedi who is a member of the house of Representatives also asked the APC
and its circle of confused members to stop blaming theINEC REC in the
State, Barito kpangi for cancelling the election, saying it was a
collective decision of the Commission why emphasizing that if it is
candidate could only managed through the rigging and thuggery to win a
single local government out of seven declared, then they should equally
expect a tsunami defeat in Southern Ijaw in three weeks time.
