BREAKING: PDP Reacts As Buhari Says Snatch Ballot Box, Pay With Your Life

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on
Monday reacted as President Muhammadu
Buhari threatened those plotting to snatch
ballot boxes during the general elections.

President Buhari had made it clear that
anyone who tries to disrupt the electoral
process, will be doing so “at the expense
of his own life”.

Reacting, PDP said the remark was a direct
call for jungle justice which was aimed at
directing the attention of the public.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson,
Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP accused the
Buhari’s Presidency and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) of plotting to
trigger widespread political crisis to derail
Nigeria’s democratic process by plunging
“our nation into anarchy.”

PDP said, “Buhari’s threat to the lives of
Nigerians, at the opening of APC’s national
caucus meeting in Abuja today, is a direct
call for jungle justice and attempt to divert
public attention from their closed session
where details of their dastardly plot to
truncate our democratic process will be
perfected.

“We do hope that this call by President
Buhari is not camouflaged for the fake
soldiers mobilized by the APC to shoot at
innocent Nigerians, snatch ballot boxes
and execute their rigging plans on the
election day. It is indeed a license to kill,
which should not come from any leader of
any civilized nation.

“The underlining fact to the above is that
President Buhari and APC leaders, upon
getting to their voting constituencies last
Saturday, realized that there is a
nationwide rejection of Buhari’s re-
election bid, and this has thrown them
into a panic mode.

“President Buhari must, however, bear in
mind that his resort to threats and
scaremongering will not deter Nigerians
from coming out en-masse to vote him out
of office on February 23.

“We are aware that President Buhari, who
had earlier boasted that nobody can
‘unseat’ him, is bent on using every
dictatorial and tyrannical act to truncate
the process of a free, fair and credible
election.

“Intelligence available to us shows that the
Buhari Presidency has directed the
leadership of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately
reshuffle the Resident Electoral
Commissioners (RECs) in order to deploy
compromised officials to manipulate the
electoral process in President Buhari’s
favour, as they did with the police shortly
before February 16.”
