The Delta State All Progressives Congress, APC on Thursday responded to PDP allegation of alleged plans to rid next Saturday’s election, sayings PDP was crying blue murder for nothing.
Recall that BusnessDay had earlier reported that PDP Campaign Director General, Mr. Solomon Funkekeme had accused former governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan and national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as masterminds of the alleged plans to disrupt the Delta gubernatorial elections in favour of the APC.
PDP in the state also alleged that APC intend using ‘federal might’ to quarantine, arrest some key members of Okowa’s cabinet and top PDP officials and placed them on house arrest till after the elections.
But reacting to the allegation, Delta APC spokesman, Ogheneluemu Imonina in a statement made available to our correspondent in Warri described the allegation as ludicrous, spurious, calling on the general public to treat the allegation with levity.
He said APC was a responsible and responsive political Party with human feelings that respects the will of the common people, adding that PDP is synonymous with political, social and economic underdevelopment.
The statement reads in part: “It is a known fact that the much touted “prosperity for all Deltans” of PDP led government in Delta State/Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa is now “poverty for all Deltans” because of anti-people policies of PDP government in the State, occasioned by the spirit of lootocracy/kleptomania that has enveloped PDP political players”.
“PDP recent vituperation on APC could be likened to political migraine, popularly known as “ebbar” in Isoko language. Ebbar is a serious migraine that makes a victim of it to talk and behave in a manner depicts someone who is at the verge of going mad.
“It is very clear to discerning minds that the spurious and unfounded allegations of PDP in the said Press Release is a ruse and subterfuge to divert attention from the nefarious and evil plans of Delta State PDP towards 9th of March 2019 Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Delta State.
“Deltans should be wary of PDP cry of wolves were none exist. Rather, Deltans should ask PDP how results from Patani, Bomadi, Burutu and part of Warri South-West LGAs, located in the creeks of Delta State, a scarcely populated areas, came about, and plenty than results from the densely populated eight LGAs of Delta Central Senatorial Zones and Warri South combined!
“APC had it on impeccable authority that the materials meant for elections on the 23rd of February, 2019, in the above mentioned LGAs in the creeks were hijacked and taken to a militants’ camp around Ayakoromo in Burutu LGA, where there was mass thumbprint of same by militants, under the supervision of PDP. With the help of PDP cronies in INEC, results were manufactured from the the PDP coup d’etat.
