The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has chided
Lagos PDP for its ridiculous call for the arrest of the National Leader
of APC Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for calling for the roasting of those
who would rig the coming gubernatorial election in Ekiti and Osun
States.
The party said that by its clear effort to defend the continued
subjection of elections in Nigeria to manipulation and rigging, the PDP
is showing that it is not about to change in its criminal ways, which
has destroyed the country through the array of horrible leaders that
have been unleashed on Nigeria these past fifteen years.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary
of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party wondered why the PDP always grows
paranoid whenever the issue of punishment for election riggers crops up.
It says that what Lagos PDP is publicizing is the readiness of the
party to continue to tow the line of electoral criminality through
shamelessly stealing every election and subjecting the country to the
scourge of corrupt, unaccountable, unelected leadership.
“From its childish reaction to Asiwaju’s warning, it is apparent that
PDP as professional
shameless vote robbers are getting paranoid that
any action against election riggers is an action against it. It is
apparent that by this impudent way to offer safe ground for election
riggers, Lagos PDP and indeed the entire PDP is planning to continue
stealing election mandates and employ same to wreck the country the same
way it had been doing for the past fifteen years but we warn them that
their days are over.
“We are not surprised that it is the PDP that has come in defence of
election rigging when we know the history of the party and when its name
has become synonymous with fraud, not only in elections but in every
facet of life. That what calls itself a state chapter of a party that
has been ruling the country for the past fifteen years can come out and
make such a specious endorsement of election rigging, as the call for
Asiwaju’s arrest for warning against election rigging portends, shows
that Nigerians have not witnessed the last of PDP’s bizarre electoral
frauds, which is the foundation upon which the PDP rests. We therefore
warn Nigerians to be on their guards as the Ekiti and Osun governorship
elections approach and as the critical 2015 election draws nearer.
“Nigerians do not have to look far to know the tragedy electoral
fraud the PDP is stoically defending has done to the country. The pallid
and prostrate country we have today with wrecked infrastructures,
gargantuan corruption, endless mass slaughtering of citizens,
governmental incompetence and embarrassing cluelessness, general state
of insecurity, poverty, fear, hopelessness, despair, hunger,
unemployment and disillusionment are all products of electoral fraud,
the type Asiwaju is warning against and the type the jokers in Lagos PDP
are striving so hard to defend because they have no life outside
stealing mandates of other Nigerians for ulterior purposes.
Is it strange that Lagos PDP sees the arrest of whoever speaks out
against election rigging as its own life wire, having lost deposit with
the people for the fifteen horrible years they have supervised the
demolition of the country?
“It is quite ridiculous, in league with the spate of incoherent and
infantile statements that ooze from the dwindling cult that calls itself
Lagos PDP that the party will try to tag Asiwaju’s timely warning
against election rigging as capable of worsening the security crisis it
presides over in the country.
Does the party need any star gazer to tell it that the problem of
insecurity among other myriads of problems that have overwhelmed Nigeria
today, is as a result of the shameless and criminal manner the PDP
manipulates elections for the past fifteen years to throw up
incompetent, hugely compromised leaders that surreptitiously divide
Nigerians along religious and ethnic lines for their selfish interests?
Lagos PDP is trying desperately to criminalize the timely warning of
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu so as to protect a more heinous and very criminal
act of election rigging, which is the main reason Nigeria has been
hobbled today. We warn the party that Nigerians are ever ready to arrest
its shameless thirst for stolen and diverted mandates and whoever tries
to steal the mandate of the people should be roasted to serve as a
deterrent to other electoral cheats.
“We want to join our voices with the inimitable Asiwaju to warn that
those who think Nigerians will continue to tolerate their wholesome
rigging of elections for purposes of self enrichment and mass
pauperization, as the PDP has done in the past fifteen years will either
jettison that criminal intent or face the wrath of the people.
Whoever rigs should face the wrath of the people and we feel that if
PDP has no intent to rig, it should join this crusade to ensure that
Nigeria has a credible leadership selection process to give it the right
leaders to lead the recovery process from the past fifteen years of
locusts. Whoever subverts this must be treated as a hoodlum, a criminal
and coup plotter and should be roasted. Calling for the arrest of
whoever goes after an election rigger is a criminal way of striving to
ensure that the country remains perpetually submerged to the evil of
election rigging, the only hope the jesters in Lagos PDP cling to access
power”.
