The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has finally reacted to a video circulating on the social media, few hours to the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
The Director, Public Communications of Divine Mandate Campaign Organization, Otuekong Emmanuel Ibiok said the ploy to stage manage criminal elements and throw up allegations against PDP members had failed ab initio.
He described the report as myriads of cock and bull schemes, baseless, flimsy, hopeless.
Otuekong made this known in a statement made available to Igbere TV only Friday.
The statement reads in part,
“Our attention has been drawn to a video being circulated on the social media by agents of the All Progressives Congress in Akwa Ibom State, where some unknown men are paraded confessing as hoodlums sponsored by certain top government officials in the State.”
“We would like to re-echo our earlier alarm that this ploy to stage manage criminal elements and throw up allegations against PDP members had failed ab initio. Otherwise, how could a responsible party that was serious about contesting an election, rather channel all its energy into crude militia tactics akin to the stone age, without any semblance to the trends in contemporary society?”
“As we had said earlier, this so-called confession of alleged hoodlums from Calabar being sponsored by a PDP chieftain, is just one out of the myriads of cock and bull schemes, currently cooking in the stables of the now deflated APC. It is true picture of a desperate drowning man clutching on straws. If we may ask, is that how they wanted to capture Akwa Ibom through Warsaw approach in just three hours?”
“We wish too state categorically that the allegations are baseless, flimsy, hopeless and show a fruitless attempt towards illegal arrest and detention of our loyal party members. We condemn this action in its totality and hereby once again draw the attention of the international community and the media to this latest attempt by apprehensive losers.”
“The Divine Mandate Organization hereby charges its supporters to remain peaceful and undeterred in carrying out their civic responsibilities as patriotic Nigerians, even as the security agents are again advised on adhering to strict professionalism in the discharge of their responsibilities during and after the elections.”
