Ahead of
December 5 governorship election in Bayelsa state, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of
plans to arrest some of its members.
The allegation which was contained in a statement by the director of publicity
of the Restoration Campaign Organization, Jonathan Obuebite, said the APC was
planning to alter the party and its electoral chances.
“We have it on good authority that the APC plans to frame up these individuals
by planting weapons and ammunitions around their houses and then invite the
police and JTF operatives to search their houses with the clear intention of
implicating them in trump up charges of arm running,” he stated.
“The APC know too well that they can’t win in a free and fair contest and
that’s why they are doing everything to rig the election. But we are confident
that the authorities will be alive to their duties and ensure protective
measures are taken to forestall any moves by the APC to rig the election.”
The party therefore called on the relevant security agencies to investigate the
alleged plot and arrest those who may be behind it.
