The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Debo Ologunagba, has said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC’s) warning vindicated the opposition party which he said has been raising the alarm over electoral violence.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the PDP said nothing short of free, fair and credible elections will be acceptable to the party.
The opposition party’s demand was in response to an alarm raised by INEC on Monday that the forthcoming 2023 election may be cancelled or postponed over insecurity.
“We have been talking about this to the press. When we stated this a long time ago, people said it was a false alarm.
“The security agencies and Muhammadu Buhari, who promised the whole world that there would be peace, should remember that nothing short of a free, fair and credible election will be acceptable.
“The reality on the ground is that since 2019, there have been over 50 attacks on INEC facilities.
“In 2022 alone, INEC in its findings said there have been well-coordinated and bizarre attacks on its facilities. They are doing this so that the elections will not take place,” Ologunagba told the press.
