Rig with IDPs and face the consequences, PDP tells INEC

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party has dared the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to rig the 2019 general through the use of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

It said the electoral umpire will face the wrath of Nigerians.

National chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, who spoke at a campaign rally in Bénin City said the consequence of rigging the elections would be grave as the people will definitely pour out their anger.

He said Alhaji Atiku, when elected, would rescue the country from poverty, hunger, and mass killings.

“INEC should not use the IDPs to rig the elections; otherwise there will be wahala (trouble)”

Presidential candidate one PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who described himself as the bridge between between the younger generation and the elderly told the people to vote for him and all PDP candidates.

He urged Nigeria youths should strive to takeover the mantle of leadership of the nation for her growth and survival.

Alhaji Abubakar appealed to Edo people to guard against all forms of intimidation and manipulations on elections day at all polling units

Abubakar who promised to turn around the country’s socio-political and economic framework for a better future for all Nigerians said he would tackle hunger, unemployment, killings, insecurity and other social vices.

The former Vice President said the problems were inflicted on the citizens by the present All Progressives Congress led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Abubakar said he would ensure the country remained a safe investment haven for small, medium and large scale businesses while other economic benefits are to come the way of all sectors of the economy to boost the welfare of the citizens.

According to him, “I have told Nigerians that I am a bridge between the generation and my generation. Virtually all of you are young Nigerians and my government will ensure that 70 percent of youths are in my government. It means we have to prepare you to take over the reins of power, to take over the leadership of this country so you have your businesses and enterprises so that while you are doing your businesses, you will succeed.

“I want you to continue on the path of prosperity. If you vote stay there, don’t go until they declare the results. You see how they brought people from Niger. APC has caused hardship, drive them away, send them away. Kick them out. Buhari must go. PDP people I love you, I trust you,” he stated.

The state chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Osi Orbih assured Alhaji Atiku and his PDP campaign train that members of the party are ready to ensure its victory at the polls come next month.
