The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation on Friday alleged that the opposition All Progressives Congress was planning to assassinate the characters of its leaders ahead of the March 28 and April 11 general elections.
The Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, made the allegation while addressing newsmen in Abuja.
He said his party was in possession of credible information about the alleged APCs plan to procure the services of some disgruntled persons within and outside the country to carry out the attacks.
Fani-Kayode said, They have offered huge sums of money to the former staff of numerous PDP leaders, including the President, the Vice President, the National Chairman, the DG of the Presidential Campaign Organisation, the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, the National Security Adviser, two Directors of the Presidential Campaign Organisation, including my good self, and numerous other key government and party leaders and functionaries to fabricate the most unbelievable, salacious, chilling and macabre tales about their former principals in an attempt to discredit us.
While condemning the planned Lagosians March for Change, being organised by the Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation on Saturday, he argued that if there should be any rally or protest in Lagos, such should be directed against some national leaders of the party.
Meanwhile, a group, operating under the auspices of the PDP Integrity Vanguard, has expressed fears that the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission would have been compromised by some unscrupulous persons, and therefore raised anxiety over the outcome of the results of the general elections.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the Leader of the Group, Senator Aniete Okon, said recent discoveries by the PDP Integrity Vanguard appeared to provide sufficient proof that the allegations of cloning of INEC database could have been true after all.
Okon, who called for the immediate forensic examination of the INEC database, revealed how the Permanent Voter Card of Mrs. Effiong, who registered in Gwarimpa, in FCT, was cloned in Akwa Ibom State.
He expressed doubt if the electoral empire was ready to conduct a transparent election, following the myriad of defects and failings apparent in the process.
Okon said, The entire gamut of INECs logistics and the technologies it has deployed so far have generated public anxiety in recent times.
