PDP planning to compromise voting materials Ekiti APC
The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said it has uncovered a plot by the state leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party to compromise voting materialsin favour of President Goodluck Jonathan.
It asked the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, and all election monitors to put Ekiti State under special watch to forestall electoral fraud.
A statement by the Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, on Sunday said the allegation could not be ignoredconsidering the latest revelations in a leaked audio file that INEC materials were allegedly compromised by PDPin June 21 Ekiti governorship poll to favour its then candidate, Ayodele Fayose.
Olatubosunsaid, Our fear is not without basis. Nigerians and indeed the whole world have heard Fayose talking on Ekitigate tape about how he collected INEC soft copies and got them printed to manipulate the poll to secure victory. They also heard how the military provided cover to subvert democracy in Fayoses favour.
We are calling on Jega that we have it on good authority that Fayose has again printed fake ballot papers as usual to exchange with INEC original ballotson Friday nightpreceding election day.
Olatubosun alleged that the plan was to exchange the ballot papers in the night ofFriday March 27just as it was done in the night ofFriday June 20, 2015.
He urged Jega, INEC officials and security agents to ensure that ballot papers were not distributed at night, pleading that the distribution be done in the morning in the presence of party agents.
He added that Jega should put his staff under intense surveillance to avoid compromise with polls riggers.
The APC also alleged that Governor Ayodele Fayose, his Ondo State ally and their agents were in possession of fake army uniforms to be worn by the thugs allegedly imported into the state three weeks ago.

Hold govt for kidnappings in Benue
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom, has urged security agencies to hold the Benue State Government under Governor Gabriel Suswam responsible for the recent spate of kidnappings and political violence in the state.
Ortom spoke when the Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Bem Angwe, led a delegation from the commission on a visit to him in Makurdi on Friday.
He said that reliable sources had revealed that the people who took oath to protect lives and property had abandoned their responsibilities and compromised their positions by training a militia group and equipping it to wreak violence in the forthcoming polls.
He said a grand plan by the government to use the militia to kidnap prominent APC members and supporters had commenced with the kidnapping of the Provost of the College of Education, Katsina-Ala, on allegations that he was a supporter of the party.
According to the former Minister of State, Industry, Trade and Investment, the objective of the plan is to intimidate and scare the APC and its supporters from participating in the forthcoming polls, adding however that the plan is bound to fail.
He said that armed youths on the convoy of the governor destroyed the APC offices, flags and posters in the Ukum, Katsina-Ala, Logo and Buruku local government areas.
Ortom stated that his campaign organisation had compiled all the destruction which Suswam and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party had done to the APC campaign property in the state and would forward same to the commission for necessary action.
He appealed to the authorities to intervene as the restraint and tolerance of victims had been stretched to the limit.
Prof. Angwe, in his comments, said he was on an advocacy visit to sensitise stakeholders to see elections as a civic duty and political office as a call-to-serve and not a do-or-die affair.
He said the mandate of the commission included the investigation of allegations by victims of political violence and that its findings and decisions were as binding as court judgements.

Buhari, not a fundamentalist APC
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, has denied a claim by the Peoples Democratic Party, that APC Presidential candidate and former military Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is an Islamic fundamentalist prone to terrorist leanings.
It said that a PDP advertisement which was promoted by an opinion article in Washington Times by a one-time US ambassadorial aide turned media manager, Richard Grenell, was the handiwork of a failed President and his ruinous party, the PDP to tarnish the hard won credibility and integrity of Buhari.
In a swift reaction in Abuja on Sunday, the APCPCOs Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a statement said the PDP was only clutching to irrelevant and irreverent decoys after abandoning serious issues of lack of power, insecurity, disunity, unemployment, infrastructural decay, comatose economy, and dysfunctional educational and health sectors, among others that affect the lives of the citizens and are concrete and poignant to the polls.
He said, The PDP is a troubled-cannon; firing salvos in all directions, accidentally and incidentally, without caution, care or conscience. With the stark reality of defeat staring them in the face on March 28 and April 11 general elections, a reward for their maladministration, incumbent President Jonathan and his co-travellers have intensified their global campaign of calumny and outright fallacy their well-known stock in trade.
Nigerians are yet to forget the phoney phone call to the King of Morocco that never was or the futile effort to stop Buhari from speaking to the world at UK think tank at Chatham House, where their rented crowd confessed to being paid for a hatchet job.
Shehu said Grenell is not a US ex-envoy but a former spokesperson for four past US Ambassadors to the United Nations.
According to him, Grenells firm Capitol Media Partners was recruited by the Presidency and the PDP to say unfortunate statements about Buhari, stressing that Grenell made the statements not as an envoy or diplomat but as a media contractor for the Presidency and the PDP.
The APC Spokesman said the latest lie by the government and the PDP underscores the new low to which Nigerias foreign policy drift has sunk under the Jonathan government, which hires all manners of local and global quacks, to manage their tattered image marked by cluelessness, incompetence, squander-mania, meteoric corruption and dearth of developmental ideas.
Meanwhile, the APCPCO said it had been vindicated on its stance of not participating in the presidential campaign debates, owing to the fact that the organizers, the Nigeria Election Debate Group had been compromised.
