Delta APC Respond To PDP Allegations, Says PDP Now Suffering From Political Migraine

The Delta State chapter of the APC has responded to allegations by the PDP that the party intend deploying thugs and ex-militants to disrupt or rig the Saturday’s governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.

BIGPEN ONLINE recalls that the PDP Campaign Director General, Mr. Solomon Funkekeme had specifically accused former governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as masterminds of the alleged plans to disrupt or rig the Delta State elections in favour of the APC.

PDP in Delta State also alleged that APC intend using ‘federal might‘ to cage the PDP, arrest some key members of Okowa’s cabinet and top PDP officials and placed them on house arrest till after the elections.

But responding to the allegations, APC Delta State described the claims as “ludicrous, spurious and laced with tissues of lies, and same should be treated with levity by Deltans”.

APC’s spokesman in the state, Ogheneluemu Sylvester Imonina in a statement however described the APC as “a responsible and responsive political Party with human feelings and respect for the will of the common people, unlike PDP whose name is synonymous with thuggerism, political, social and economic underdevelopment”.

He said that PDP are ‘crying blue murder’ over nothing ostensibly because they have failed in their plots to manipulate the election against the main state opposition party.

The statement reads: “It is a known fact that the much touted “prosperity for all Deltans” of PDP led government in Delta State/Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa is now “poverty for all Deltans” because of anti-people policies of PDP government in the State, occasioned by the spirit of lootocracy/kleptomania that have enveloped PDP political players”.

“PDP recent vituperation on APC could be likened to political migraine, popularly known as “ebbar” in Isoko language. Ebbar is a serious migraine that makes a victim of it to talk and behave in a manner depicts of someone who is at the verge of going mad.

“It is very clear to discerning minds that the spurious and unfounded allegations of PDP in the said Press Release is a ruse and subterfuge to divert attention from the nefarious and evil plans of Delta State PDP towards 9th of March 2019 Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Delta State.

“Deltans should be wary of PDP cry of wolves were none exist. Rather, Deltans should ask PDP how results from Patani, Bomadi, Burutu and part of Warri South-West LGAs, located in the creeks of Delta State, a scarcely populated areas, came about, and plentier than results from the densely populated eight LGAs of Delta Central Senatorial Zones and Warri South combined!

“APC had it on impeccable authority that the materials meant for elections on the 23rd of February, 2019, in the above mentioned LGAs in the creeks were hijacked and taken to a militants’ camp around Ayakoromo in Burutu LGA, where there was mass thumbprint of same by militants, under the supervision of PDP. With the help of pdp cronies in INEC, results were manufactured from the the PDP coup d’etat.

“Now, coming to PDP spurious allegations against APC and her leader, it is strange to note that PDP failed to mention the Followings:
1) The location where militirary uniforms were be sewed for militants.
2) The location where ex-militants and or thugs are camped and or kept by APC!
3) Naming those pdp members marked for arrest or to be placed under forced house arrest.

“Deltans, with all sense of responsibility, APC as a responsible Party does not believe and/ or engage in those nefarious old faction PDP known ways of rigging elections. APC believes in “one man,  one Vote” but PDP and her rigging machines are afraid of this, hence, this unnecessary political mudslinging.

“However, we want to state that with the help of God and the resolve of the good people of Delta State, yearning for positive change, the anathemic PDP shall be consigned and thrown into an abyss of no return”.
