The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed dissatisfaction with the postponement of Abuja Local Government election which was initially scheduled for March 19.
PDP in statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Wednesday, said the poll was postponed “at the instance of a particular political party”.
The statement further reads: “Intelligence reports available to us indicate that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was instigated to shift the election merely because that particular political party realized that our candidates were going to sweep the polls.
“It is indeed incontrovertible that most Nigerians from all walks of life residing in Abuja are in support of the PDP and are ready to express this support overwhelmingly at the FCT elections. The shift, we know is a fallout of the panic and conspiracy against the PDP.
“We ask, is the postponement to allow a particular set of electoral and security officers being used in the Rivers state National and State Assembly rerun elections enough time to conclude that assignment and return to conduct the one in Abuja in two weeks time?
“Is the development a confirmation that these particular electoral and security officials are on special assignment against the PDP?
“Our take is that in spite of the conspiracies, the will of the people will prevail. All our members and supporters are fully mobilized and ready for the elections.
“It is obvious that we are winning; the people are with us and will not accept anything short of free, fair and credible elections which will be adequately represented in the results therein.”
