The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accusedGovernor Ayodele Fayose of sewing fake Police uniform for thugs to use them rig the forthcoming general elections.

Toachieve the plan, the opposition party said, thugs in police uniforms would be unleashed on the opposition to cripple mobilisation of voters and create fears in the minds of APC members to enable Peoples Democratic Party have a field day during the elections.

The APC alsoraised the alarm over alleged plan by the governor to arrest the party leaders before the March 28 presidential election.

A statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said the party had discovered the governors plot to use trumped-up charges to incarcerate the leaders to cripple the partys mobilisation efforts for victory.

After it became clear that soldiers would not be allowed to be deployed for the polls, PDP leaders in Ekiti State have opted for the police. They have discovered that the fake army uniforms they sewed would be useless and they have started sewing police uniforms for their operation, Olatubosun explained.

He stated that the young men in six 18-seater buses allegedly brought into the state at night about three weeks ago with military uniforms in their luggage were still the same personnel PDP wanted to use for the operation.

But reacting, Fayoses Special Assistant on Information, Lanre Ogunsuyi, said the allegation was unfounded.

The APC is already conceding defeat before the elections proper. All their tricks are falling apart.

The allegation is preposterous. Nothing is working in their favour that is why they are concocting all these lies, he added.

The All Progressives Congress has accused the President Goodluck Jonathans government of sponsoring ethnic militias to foment trouble before, during and after the forthcoming general elections.

It contends that N9bn reportedly paid out to some ex-militants and ethnic militias recently is aimed at mobilising them to scuttle the polls.

This was contained in a statement in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

APC argued that the protests by members of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra last week, seeking the sacking of INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, was orchestrated by the federal administration as part of its continuing efforts to sabotage the elections.

It said the next group that had been mobilised to protest against Jega and the use of card reader was the Oodua Peoples Congress, which is also a beneficiary of the N9bn payout, ostensibly for pipeline protection, but in reality to prepare the ethnic militias for their reprehensible role in scuttling the elections.

APC alleged that more ethnic militias were to be enlisted by the Jonathan administration to continue the protest against Jega and the card reader, which it said was to give the impression that Nigerians want Jega sacked and were also against the use of card reader.

The party expressed sadness that a President, who inherited a united nation, had done everything he could to divide the country along ethnic and religious lines, including allegedly patronising ethnic militias, to champion sectional interests at the expense of national unity.

It wondered why Jonathan would pay N9bn to a handful of people at a time of great economic downturn and falling Naira, as well as in a situation in which many states could not even afford to pay their workers because of dwindling allocations from the federation account.

A profligate government that has been bribing people with dollars and ferrying huge funds around practically to buy votes has outdone itself by paying out all of N9bn to a few Nigerians, with less than three weeks to the elections.

Shortly after the payment, some self-serving groups started organising protests that, for all intents and purposes, are being orchestrated to scuttle the polls. This is a shameful show by the Federal Government, APC said.

THE Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress said it had uncovered a plot by the Peoples Democratic Party to use the police to clamp down on its leaders before the forthcoming general elections.

The state APC pointed out that the plan was to keep them (APC leaders) out of circulation during the election.

State APC Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, raised the alarm in Port Harcourt on Sunday through his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze.

Our attention has been drawn to a sinister plot by the Rivers State PDP in conjunction with the Special Armed Robbery Squad of the State Police Command to launch what they call the mother of all operations code-named Operation Total Crippling of Rivers APC.

This is aimed at ensuring that none of our leaders walks the streets freely during the forthcoming elections. The strategy to be adopted is for the PDP leadership to come up with fabricated petition alleging that the 300 APC leaders to be arrested are cultists, kidnappers or armed robbers.

The plot is to keep at bay all the strong men behind the election of the APC candidates until after the elections of March of 28th and April 11th 2015. Should this ploy fail, both Dr. Dakuku Peterside and Hon Asita Okorie Asita, the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates respectively of Rivers APC, shall be arrested and kept incommunicado until after the elections, Ikanya said.

According to the Rivers APC Chairman, part of the strategy of the state PDP is to plant guns in the residences and business outfits of some of the APC leaders and use the police to search and arrest them.

The All Progressives Congress has accused President GoodluckJonathan of taking political advantage of calamities that havebefallen Nigeria under his watch, saying giving N5m to each family that lost a relative in the Immigration recruitmentexercise after one year is not only belated but aimed at solicitingvotes.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National PublicitySecretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why it took the President one year to act on the promise he made to thefamilies, adding that but for the forthcoming elections, the Presidentwould have simply ignored the families, in his usual style.

The truth is that this President was forced to act because of theelections. Otherwise, why has it taken one year for the President toredeem his promise to the bereaved families? Why has his Administration not sanctioned those who sent innocent job seekers totheir early graves after extorting them? Why is the Interior Minister, Mr. Abba Moro, who presided over the deaths, still in office, virtuallydancing on the graves of those innocent youths?

Sunday, March 15th, will mark one year since those vibrant youthswere lured to their deaths by a callous federal government that failedthem in all ramifications, including the security of their lives andthe assurance of their welfare, the raison detre of any government. It is therefore utterly reprehensible, immoral and wicked for the sameadministration to seek to make political gains out of the needlesstragedy, it said.

APC said President Jonathan, in his desperation for re-election, hasalso sought to take political advantage of other tragedies, includingthe Buni Yadi massacre of school children and the abduction of Chibokgirls.

After refusing to even visit the families of those school childrenin Buni Yadi and Chibok, the President suddenly woke up and startedsending delegations to meet with them, all this because he needsvotes. As a parent himself, how will the President feel if he had beenso treated? Why must the President put his re-election over and aboveeverything else, including the welfare and security of Nigerians? Isthere no limit to desperation.

It said Nigerians are keenly aware of the fact that this President hassuddenly woken up from his deep slumber and become artificially hyperactive, making repeated visits to regions that he had neglectedin the past six years and doling out hard currencies even at a timethe Naira was taking a beating, all for election purposes.

No one is fooled by the antics of a desperate President, and in thefullness of time, Nigerians will show President Jonathan and hiscohorts that they are not impressed by his pretend governance, APCsaid.
