Olu Samuel,Lokoja

The Governership Campaign council of the All progressive Congress,APC has said that it’s closest rival in the just concluded Governoship election in the state has no evidence whatsoever to back it’s claim of rigging the Election won by Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Spokesperson/Director, media and publicity, Kingsley Fanwo while reacting to what he described as a “failed attack
by supporters and thugs of the Social Democratic Party to attack the State INEC Office in Lokoja”.

Fanwo said that since there was no evidence to support the claim,SDP had resorted to blackmail by organising thugs to distrupt activities at the INEC office

According to him,”the failed bid has confirmed our recent alarm that the party is determined to destroy every relevant government institution just to maintain their false claim to popularity”.

“The attempted plan to lynch INEC staff and burn down the INEC Office was gallantly averted by security agents. Their promptness and professionalism is highly commended as their timely intervention saved what would have been a bloody day as weapon-wielding thugs of the SDP were dangerously threatening to make the state ungovernable”.

Fanwo said that”thestory of the SDP that the thugs were hired by our party is no deviation from their culture of terrible and senseless propaganda and strategy to blame everyone else for their own actions. It is high time the thoroughly defeated candidate of the SDP and his co-travellers to an unknown destination are arrested to forestall further breakdown of law and order”.

He called on APC supporters to remain law abiding in the face of glaring provocation adding that “War is about using one’s best to the worst to oneself.
