Peoples Democratic Party says it has uncovered plots by the All Progressives Congress to cause confusion and disrupt the collation of the Rivers State governorship election results.

The PDP in a statement on Friday, signed by its National Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan says the APC is planning to use some compromised security agents to carry out its plans.

It further alleged that the plans by APC is been spearheaded by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

Recall as previously reported by The Premier News, the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared that the collation and announcement of election results for Rivers State will hold between April 2 and 5.

The electoral body added that where necessary, rerun election will hold on April 13, while the announcement of results will be done on April 15 and issuance of the certificate of return will be on April 19.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has uncovered plots by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to cause confusion in Rivers state and scuttle the scheduled collation of the remaining results of the March 9 governorship election in the state, which was won by the PDP and its candidate, Governor Nyesom Wike.”

“The party alerts that the APC plans to orchestrate violent disagreements and crisis at the stakeholders meeting scheduled by INEC ahead of the collation billed for April 2-5, 2019, so as to scuttle the exercise and stall the announcement of Governor Wike, who is the rightful winner of the election.”

“In order to achieve this ignoble plot, the APC has conspired with certain compromised security agents to be bandying phantom security report in Rivers state, as a decoy for the execution of their ugly plan.”

“The PDP is not unaware of pressure being put on certain security heads particularly, the Directorate of State Services (DSS), by the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, asking that collation of results be stopped.”

“The APC should note that their plot has been exposed and that Rivers people will never allow them to have their way. Any person pushing such heinous machination in Rivers state will have him or herself to blame.”

“The PDP, therefore, cautions the APC and their co-travellers to desist from any act aimed at scuttling the scheduled collation of results, which figures, confirming Governor Nyesom Wike’s victory, are known to all.”
