PDP Reveals Fresh Plot By Presidency, APC To Rig 2019 Elections

Must read

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has on Wednesday, January 2, 2019, accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, of compromising the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to rig the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

In a press conference hosted by the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party called for an urgent investigation into the alleged link between the reportedly diverted military funds and the N1.032 trillion said to have been used by President Muhammadu Buhari’s family members for corrupt acquisition in 9 Mobile Nigeria and Keystone Bank PLC.

The PPCO calls for an independent and system-wide investigation by the INTERPOL, Directorate of State Services, DSS, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on the alleged links between the two funds.

This concerted investigation has become imperative following President Buhari’s failure to directly speak out on the allegations against his family members, as well as explain how they came about the sum of N1.032 trillion for the alleged acquisition.

We make this demand in view of public insinuations that the money may have been sourced from funds meant for the purchase of weapons for our soldiers.

More so, the Buhari Presidency has blatantly refused to respond to allegations that military fund is being used to finance President Buhari’s re-election campaign which even manifested in the use of military resources to produce APC’s campaign materials, including an electronic momento book by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali.

The PPCO is deeply worried by the disturbing videos of our gallant soldiers languishing and being killed by insurgents due to neglect and failure of the Buhari administration to adequately equip them in the fronts.

The PPCO is also unhappy by similar videos, showing our soldiers protesting and threatening to retreat from the fronts, while grumbling against their neglect by the Buhari administration.

This should not be the way to go for our nation. Our soldiers are brave and have continued to show the highest form of professionalism and unmatched patriotism in risking and laying down their lives in defence of fatherland.

Therefore, any action by anybody that is capable of reducing their morale in the fronts must never be allowed.

The PPCO invites Nigerians to continue to be at alert and give all support to our fighting troops as the fight against terrorism in our land must continue to be a collective effort.

We therefore insist on this inquest and urge Nigerians to give their support in this regard.
