PDP alleges plot to disrupt Bayelsa, Kogi guber elections

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to incite violence in Kogi and Bayelsa states with a view to disrupting the governorship elections slated for the two states.

PDP said the imprints of the APC could be felt in the sudden militancy in Kogi as well as the growing cases of political violence in Bayelsa ahead of the November 21 and December 5 governorship elections in the two states respectively.

The party said: “The APC has perfected a heinous plot to inject crisis in Kogi and Bayelsa, ostensibly to frustrate the electoral procedures within the constitutional time frame, so as to prevent PDP candidates, Governors Idris Wada and Seriake Dickson from being re-elected into office.

“We invite Nigerians to note that the build-up to the militancy in Kogi has been long started by the APC and its candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu, who has been fouling the state’s political environment with hate and inciting utterances, including threats to lives of PDP supporters and perceived political opponents.”
