A pro-democracy group, the Democracy Must Survive (DMS) on Thursday cried<\/p>\n
out over plans by top Government officials on the federal government to
\nmassively rig Saturday’s election in Ondo State.<\/p>\n
Specifically, the DMS in a Press Statement signed by its Chairman and
\nSecretary, Messers Tunde Alafe and Jide Oguntayo, fingered the Chairman of
\nthe All Peoples Congress (APC) campaign for the Ondo State election, Mr
\nSimeon Lalong, the Governor of Plateau State who they accused of bringing
\nin over one thousand thugs made of 500 from Plataeu, 350 Junkuns from
\nTaraba State and 750 from Kogi State to disrupt election and cause crisis
\nin the strongholds of its co-contestants.<\/p>\n
“As we are writing this release to you now, there is intelligence report
\nthat the APC government has planted card carrying members of the\u00a0 APC to
\nbe election\u00a0 Resident Officers (ROs) while Presiding Officers (POs)who are
\nsupposed to be Youth Corps Members would be replaced with APC members who
\nwould be kitted in the uniforms of Youth Corpers to perpetrate the
\nelection fraud.<\/p>\n
“Also, intelligence reports have it that the APC has been holding election
\n48 hours before the election in some areas especially in Kiribo, in Ese
\nOdo local government, the home town of the APC candidate, Mr Agboola
\nAjayi.<\/p>\n
“They want to ensure that this election is compromised and the wish of the
\nmasses is aborted. We in the Democracy Must Survive will not allow this
\ndaylight robbery to happen.<\/p>\n
Those who want to rig election in Ondo State should be very careful as our
\npeople will ensure that they do not succeed. Let there be credible
\nelection and the wish of the people be allowed to prevail. A word is
\nenough for the wise,” the group warned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
