We are particularly concerned and call on the State Security Services and the Nigeria Police Force to immediately restrain persons such as Dino Melaye, Dele Momodu and a certain Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis Church from their clear call to violence.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Melaye&#8217;s tweet threatening violence, Momodu going on the TV to announce a purported winner and Enenche&#8217;s hate speech from the pulpit violate every law of the land. They should not go scot-free.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;When failure stared them in the face, rather than accept the outcome with dignity like good democrats would, some sore losers began shopping for ways to cut corners or scuttle the process. We have seen many doctored results giving false victory to the Labour Party in places where it performed abysmally poor. The idea was to give its followers hope and prepare them for a planned street insurrection. The PDP has employed almost similar tactics despite secretly admitting defeat. They went about with mouthwatering offers looking for willing partners that would help them subvert the will of the people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Perhaps having failed to procure officials to help it doctor results, the PDP earlier today rented willing airwaves to make very dangerous statements on the election.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We also wonder why agents of the party at the Abuja collation centre are pushing insistently for the uploading of the results on INEC portal, when section 60 of the Electoral Act is clear about who has the power to do so at the polling unit. The state collation officer has no such power. The INEC chairman, who collates what has been collated from the states also has no such power.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Is the PDP calling for the upload to enable it hack the system to give it a false victory?<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Unlike what the PDP spokesmen have done, we will not announce ourselves as winners despite having the figures which affirm our anticipated victory. We will abide by the laws by allowing the electoral umpire to do its job.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;A cursory look at the figures from across the states show that our candidate is well placed for victory. The results have shown that the Labour Party, as we kept saying, is no threat to our victory.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;The PDP, on the other hand, has also failed in its own permutation making its dream of victory go up in smoke. The PDP&#8217;s projection of a landslide win in the North has collapsed.&#8221;<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress, APC has charged the Police and the Department of State Security, DSS to immediately restrain persons such as Dino Melaye, Dele Momodu and Pastor Paul Enenche&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
