Accusations, Allegations From PDP Sign Of Impeding Loss – APC

The APC Campaign Council for the Osun Governorship election has described the allegations and accusations emanating from the camp of the PDP ahead of Saturday’s polls as a manifestation of the fear of impending defeat.

In a statement in Osogbo on Friday, the Council’s Media Committee Chairman and Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the PDP and its chorus singers had resorted into such flimsy and unsubstantiated allegations because defeat is now staring the party’s candidate in the face.

He also said those who were shouting about an alleged rigging and thuggery plan by the APC in Osun State were only acting true to type, adding that such persons were the certified architects of rigging and thuggery, not minding that their alleged murderous thugs that had been sequestered and the rigging capability clearly curtailed.

He said, “The PDP and some of its top members have accused INEC, the police and other security agencies as well as the NYSC of all sorts of things. They have made allegations of thuggery and rigging against the APC. None of the accusations has been substantiated. If only the party had invested its energy in preparing for the election, it may not have become so jittery.

“Unfortunately, the die is cast and the PDP has seen the handwriting on the wall, hence the party’s slip into the panic mode.

“On our part, we have confidence in the various institutions saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a successful election in Osun State. We have no need for thuggery or rigging because the people are solidly behind us.”
