Attacks On INEC Offices: We’re Suspicious Of APC — PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed concern over
what it called the silence of the ruling party in the wake of the
growing attacks on offices of the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC.

Recall that more than two dozens of INEC offices across the
nation have witnessed one form of attack or the other, casting
doubt on the feasibility of credible polls in 2023 as expressed by
the commission.

Reacting to the development, PDP image maker, Kola Ologbondiyan,
said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is playing the ostrich
knowing that there is no way it would win elections, “having been
rejected by Nigerians.”

He said: “We are worried as a political party that the APC is
silent in spite of the various attacks on INEC offices and damages
to electoral materials.

“We are very worried and we are suspicious that the APC has
failed Nigerians and realizing that they cannot win subsequent
elections are responsible for this chaos and are creating emergency
situations to forestall conduct of subsequent elections.

“We are worried that the federal government has not said
anything even though over 20 INEC offices have so far been burnt. A
government that is responsible for the protection of a democracy
will not be silent. It should be concerned,” said Mr.
Ologbondiyan.

He called on well-meaning Nigerians to speak up, saying the
regularity of the attacks shows that there is a conspiracy to
derail the nation’s democracy.
