The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to “derail” the electoral process and ensure the forthcoming 2023 election is postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, made this allegation at a media briefing in Abuja.
Ologunagba maintained that the PDP already has its sight set on the February 25, 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections which date is “sacrosanct”.
“Our Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been following the many furtive narratives being promoted by the APC with the view to blackmail critical election stakeholders to accede to its design to postpone the 2023 general elections, particularly the February 25, 2023 Presidential election,” the PDP spokesman said.
“Our Party had earlier alerted the nation of a well-oiled plot by the APC to orchestrate security situation and promote circumstances to warrant the postponement of the 2023 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“The ultimate intent of the APC is to use such unfounded circumstances to derail the entire electoral process and impose an undemocratic situation on our country.
“The PDP hereby insists without equivocation that the February 25, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly election date is sacrosanct.”
