The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of scheming to postpone the coming elections.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Debo Ologunagba, said in Abuja that the APC had been promoting what he called many furtive narratives with a view to blackmailing critical election stakeholders.
Ologunagba said: “Our party had earlier alerted the nation to a well-oiled plot by the APC to orchestrate security situation and promote circumstances to warrant the postponement of the 2023 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“The ultimate intent of the APC is to use such unfounded circumstance to derail the entire electoral process and impose an undemocratic situation on our country.
“The PDP hereby insists without equivocation that the February 25, 2023 presidential and National Assembly election date is sacrosanct. February 25, 2023 date is already locked in for the presidential and National Assembly elections, the security agencies have given their assurances, the Federal Government has also given its assurance; Nigerians are ready for election and will not accept any postponement of elections under any guise whatsoever.”
He also accused the APC of promoting and encouraging violence in various parts of the country, including attacking INEC facilities.
The PDP said the APC and its leaders are desperate to use their “doomsday orchestrations” to frighten and blackmail INEC into altering the electoral schedule after which the ruling party will take advantage of the situation to unsettle the general election, foist a constitutional crisis and truncate the nation’s democratic process.
