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.
His full speech:
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.
