The All Progressives Congress (APC), Osun State chapter on Thursday accused the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to execute massacre before, during and after the governorship election slated for August 9, 2014.
The accusation was contained in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, and a copy obtained by Daily Independent.
The party in the statement said it needed to notify Nigerians and the international community about the hidden plans of the PDP.
“In what will tantamount to a massacre, the (PDP) has planned to place the state on a war footing using the army, the police and dangerously armed militia not just to terrorize, but to murder, assassinate and commit large-scale arson to win the election willy-nilly,” it said.
“As a prelude to this massive blood-letting, inside sources within the PDP have disclosed that virtually all top government functionaries believed to be loyal to Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, including every APC leader within their reach would be arrested or assassinated,” it added.
APC also claimed that its sources revealed that the PDP is amassing explosives and incendiaries which it plan on using to cause maximum chaos, and set the voting process in total confusion before INEC will announce a pre-determined election result, because PDP has seen the people’s support for Rauf Aregbesola and the APC, despite the cash and materials it is doling out to citizens.
“But the APC declared that “rage or no rage, war or no war PDP cannot take Osun with blood and violence and survive” the statement read. “Our corporate existence as a united country is on the line of fire because the Presidency and the PDP leadership like vampires want to take Osun with blood dripping from their mouths.”
Meanwhile, the National chapter of the All Progressives Congress on July 23, 2014 wrote a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone Osun State governorship election slated for August 9, 2014, if some voters would be restricted from exercising their franchise, following the non-issuance of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). The party, however, explained that the decision was part of effort to curb any fraudulent act during the state governorship poll.
