Press Statement
Loading ...…Says They Will Face The Wrath Of Adamawa People
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cautions the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and its thugs procured to reenact their Kano rigging
template in the Thursday’s Governorship Supplementary election in
Adamawa state, to note that they will be attempting to do so at their
own peril.
The PDP says it has full details of how the APC has hired thugs and
miscreants from other states with instructions to cause confusion,
invade polling units, disrupt the electoral process, snatch ballot
boxes, engage in ballot stuffing and assist the APC to allocate votes
for its candidate, with the assistance of compromised INEC and security
agents.
Our party has also been made aware of how the APC has cloned Permanent
Voter Cards (PVCs), which they plan to use to manipulate the process for
their candidate.
The PDP however wants APC and its thugs to bear in mind that there is no
way they can be allowed to repeat the evil they committed in Kano in
Adamawa state.
Our field agents, who have been at alert, have full knowledge of the
planned movements of the APC thugs and our members and supporters are
ready to resist them and use all means, necessary and legitimate, to
defend our votes, even in this supplementary election.
The PDP however restates that by law, our candidate, Ahmed Fintiri, has
since March 9, 2019, won the Adamawa state governorship election, having
scored the highest number of valid votes and secured the statutory 25%
in two-third of the state. This validates the known fact that Adamawa
state is home to the PDP and this supplementary election, though
unnecessary, will reinforce our victory.
The party therefore directs our teeming members and supporters to come
out en-mass to vote and defend their votes from the polling unit to
collation and the final announcement of results.
The PDP also charges INEC officials to note and respect the will of the
people of Adamawa state and resist all inducements by the APC to
manipulate the process, as such is capable of pitching the people
against the commission.
