Lai Mohammed Lists 10 Major Plans Of PDP Before The Elections
Category: Nigerian National News
The All Progressives Congress has said the ruling party, PDP
has 10 major evil plans they intend to carry out, to intimidate APC leaders,
obstruct elections and deny Nigerians their right to vote for change. The
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed at a press
conference today, however listed out these 10 major plans.
See His full speech below:
It’s just about three weeks to the start of the rescheduled
2015 general elections, and the expectations across the country and outside our
borders are very high, just as the tension among Nigerians!
The eyes of the world are focused on our country, Nigeria,
to organise a free, fair, credible and violence-free election that will not
only deepen our democracy but will also show to the world that our leadership
position in the West African sub-region and the African continent is not a
fluke.
While we in the All Progressives Congress (APC), and
definitely most Nigerians, also expect nothing less than very transparent
elections, indications are that those at the helms have grown so desperate that
they do not even want the elections to hold. And even if the elections must
hold at all, they must be held on their own terms: No PVCs, No Car Readers, No
Jega, and the military must be deployed to intimidate voters!
These dangerous conditionalities by the ruling party, the
PDP, and the Jonathan administration have been playing out publicly, no thanks
to the inauspicious comments by elements of the ruling party, who could no
longer hide their disdain for credible polls and, indeed, for democracy itself.
But what has not played out openly are some of the criminal
and unlawful actions being secretly hatched by the PDP and the Jonathan
Administration to rig the forthcoming general elections and perpetuate
themselves in power.
The handwriting is clear: This Administration knows it can
never win in a free, fair and credible elections because of its appalling
record in office. Nigerians want change through the ballot box, and they are
determined to effect that change with their PVCs.
Let me now take you through some of those evil plots being
hatched to deny the people of Nigerians their right to vote for change.
1. There is a plot to transfer a humongous amount of money
into the bank account of the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, and then claim
that the money came from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC in order to
justify the ongoing plan to sack Prof. Jega so he won’t organize the elections.
Beyond Jega, there is also a plan to credit the bank
accounts of some key national institutions with huge amounts of money
purportedly from our party, the APC, ostensibly to compromise those
institutions.
2. There is plan to use some political parties that are
satellites of the PDP to push for the postponement of the elections again. The
plot is to get the parties to address a press conference to say the elections
should not hold in the North-east until Sept. 2015 because of the ongoing
counter-insurgency battle there. The intention is to make sure Jega’s tenure
expires before the polls, so that they can appoint a malleable card-carrying
member of the PDP as INEC Chair to conduct the polls.
3. There a plan to use the security agencies to intimidate
key opposition leaders as well as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)
and telecommunications service providers to disrupt voice and data
transmission, especially in APC strongholds, on election day.
As we have said earlier, the telephones of our leaders have
been bugged and their movements are being daily monitored.
Top on the list of the security agencies to be used against
the opposition is the DSS, which will be used to compel all Resident Electoral
Commissioners in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to hand over
the names and telephone numbers of all INEC’s regular and ad hoc staff who will
conduct the elections, as part of the Jonathan administration’s rigging plans.
It is no longer news that a signal has been sent to all
state commands of the DSS to get the list of all INEC Returning Officers and
Adhoc Staff before March 10th.
4. There is also the ongoing illegal recruitment over 500
new cadets into one of the country’s security outfits, 50% of whom are from the
home state of the outfit’s top brass, in violation of the provisions of the
Constitution, especially as the recruitment does not reflect the Federal
Character
5. Nocturnal meetings are being held between various heads
of national security agencies and the leadership of the PDP to undermine the
coming elections;
6. The Presidency has retained the services of two Israelis
and a Belgian who are currently holed up in the Aso Rock Villa to hack and
corrupt INEC computers on election day, with the trio having already been paid
25 percent of their contract fees upfront.
7. There is an ongoing effort to compromise the card reader,
which the Jonathan Administration sees as inimical to its rigging plans.
8. Huge funds are being provided for retired and serving
security personnel to buy up PVCs, with the hope that they can be used once the
card reader is compromised. Remember, gentlemen, that there is a case in court
seeking to declare the use of the card reader in the forthcoming elections
unconstitutional.
9. In the days leading up to the elections, the Jonathan
Administration is planning to give the opposition the Ekiti treatment by
massively arresting key opposition leaders, with a view to destabilizing their
ranks, putting them away and paving the way for a free rein of their rigging
agents. Towards this end, thousands of signed blank detention orders have been
procured.
10. As part of the plan to implicate our leaders, illegal
substances may be put into their checked-in luggage during local and
international flights. That is why we are calling on our leaders to travel only
with their carry-on baggage.
Let me say that the detailed plans by the desperate Jonathan
Administration and the PDP are part of the massive intelligence we are
receiving daily from patriotic Nigerians, within and outside the government,
who are eager to see the organization of a free, fair, credible and
violence-free elections that will catapult Nigeria to the league of truly
democratic nations.
We have decided to share the information we are receiving
with Nigerians because we believe that no power is strong enough to stop a
people who are determined to effect change in the way and manner they are being
governed, and that the ultimate power resides in the people.
We have no doubt that the information will fortify the local
and international observers who are coming for the elections, in addition to
enhancing the vigilance of the citizenry before, during and after the polls.
