Governor of Kogi State, Captain Idris Wada, has alleged that the All
\nProgressives Congress (APC) is already using security agents and
\n\u201ccompromised officials\u201d of the Independent National Electoral Commission
\n(INEC) to rig Saturday\u2019s governorship election in the state.
\nHe alleged that the APC governorship candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu, had
\nbribed the designated returning officer with N1m ahead of the election.
\n\u201cWe have received extremely disturbing information about the desperate
\nplan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig Saturday\u2019s Governorship
\nElection using the security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army and
\nsome unscrupulous INEC personnel. The grand plan, which is already being
\nexecuted, is designed to impose the APC candidate against the will of the
\nelectorate of Kogi State,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cSpecific intelligence gathered by our campaign committee indicates that
\nthe APC is involved in the devious strategic posting and deployment of
\nsecurity and electoral personnel in order to achieve their diabolic plan.
\nA Lieutenant Colonel by the name of Isidore Ama was about two weeks ago
\nredeployed to Kogi State by the army authorities apparently at the behest
\nof the APC to help its election efforts. LT COL Ama, it may interest you
\nto know, headed a team of soldiers that invaded the country home of
\nSenator Atai Aidoko of the Peoples Democratic Party and killed four
\npersons in 2007 during the Governorship Election contested by Alhaji
\nIbrahim Idris and Mr Abubakar Audu in that year.<\/p>\n
\u201cLt Col Amah had claimed they were in search of arms and thugs. No arms
\nwere recovered but PDP supporters who were in the Distinguished Senators
\npremises were mowed down in cold blood. Despite complaints made to the
\nmilitary authorities, we are not aware that this extra-judicial political
\nmurder masterminded by this soldier who was then a Captain was ever
\nredressed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
