The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Kwara state chapter of the PDP, of crying wolf in its allegation that the APC plans to disrupt the Offa local government election re-run today, saying “the PDP is indeed the purveyor of violence and the mastermind of rigging.”
In a statement issued in London on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said “the allegation is also an admittance of failure on the part of the PDP, which has been in power in Kwara in the last 10 years.”
It added: “If a government that has been in power for this length of time, which has control over the police and the State Security Service (SSS) is now crying wolf over an isolated local government re-run, it can only mean one thing, that the government has lost control of events in the state and that it is no longer sure of the support of the people it claims to be governing.”
APC said contrary to the allegations by the PDP, its (APC) supporters have borne the brunt of attacks by PDP thugs going into the polls, with some of them either killed or maimed.
‘’It is common knowledge that a cousin to one of the honourable members in the Kwara State House of Assembly (Hon. Hassan Oyeyemi Oyeleke) was murdered on August 11th, 2013. The case was reported at the Owode Police Station, Offa.”
