An All Progressive
Congress (APC) group in Kwara State has accused the opposition People's
Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to manipulate the Nigeria Police and
other security agencies into arresting it's stakeholders ahead of the February
General Elections in the state.
In a statement issued in
Ilorin and signed by its director, Mr. Kayode Jimoh, The Kwara APC Advocacy
Group accused the PDP of making sinister plans to use federal might to
intimidate APC members. "We have gathered that the PDP plans to use the
police to pick up our stakeholders just before the elections like they did
during the Ekiti elections last year. Faced by certain defeat at all
levels in Kwara State during the general elections, the opposition PDP has
perfected plans to harass our members through police intimidation,
threats and wicked deception. We understand the PDP has compiled a hit
list of our members who will be arrested as part of a sinister campaign of
intimidation”, said Jimoh.
The APC group also
accused the PDP of planning to impersonate heads of securioty agencies through
phone calls warning its supports to go underground to avpid arrest ahead of the
elections.
Jimoh therefore called
on the people of Kwara State to remain vigilant and resolute while refusing to
fall for the PDP’s campaign of intimidation and violence. The group also called
on the Police and other security agencies to resist any attempt by the PDP to
use them for the actualization of its sinister plans in the state. Continuing,
The Kwara APC group warned the PDP and its members to drop their sinister plans
to intimidate APC members and cause destabilization in Kwara State before,
during and after the general elections in Kwara State.
