www.odogwublog.com reports that the
main opposition Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) has warned the
Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC), as well as the
Federal Government not to try rigging the 2019 polls in favour of the
ruling All Progressive Congress ( APC), as such action would amount to
testing the will of Nigerians.
National
Chairman of PDP, Chief Uche Secondus who gave the warning while
addressing Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu and the leadership of PDP in Abia State,
said the warning had become necessary due to the obvious signals that
INEC might not conduct a free and fair election in 2019.
He
warned that PDP and the masses would stoutly resist any attempt by INEC
, APC or the Federal Government to manipulate the outcome of the 2019
elections at all levels.
His
words : " APC and INEC , you cannot rig the 2019 election! If they want
to depend on rigging they will be testing the will of Nigerians. I want
to tell APC that if it wants to rig through INEC we will resist it.
"
INEC, we are warning you. Don't try to rig the election in 2019 because
Nigerians will resist you. God will also resist you. You better make
up your mind to conduct free and fair election. Any thing thing to the
contrary will be counter productive", he warned.
Secondus
also said the only remaining legacy President Muhammadu Buhari could
bequeath to Nigerians " having failed woefully in all other areas of
governance is to conduct free and fair election in 2019 so we can
remember him for that".
He
enjoined Nigerians of voting age to get their voters card in the on-
going voter registration exercise so they could use it to " change this
bad change in 2019".
Speaking
earlier, Gov. Ikpeazu had assured Secondus that Abia remained PDP
strong base , and would vote massively for PDP candidates in 2019.
