The Kaduna state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has raised the alarm that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state has concluded plans to cause violence in the state so that election would be held under curfew.
According to a statement issued in Kaduna by the spokesman of the party in the state, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the party said it was not surprised because of the desperation of the PDP to sabotage the election.
Aruwan said the PDP was planning to instigate violent actions and confrontations in order to impose a curfew, adding that this would lead to a suppressed turnout and therefore give them the opportunity to rig the forthcoming election.
The party further said the PDP has arranged to ensure that cars branded with the pictures of Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo are driven persistently through the known APC strongholds in the hope of triggering a reaction.
Aruwan said: “The PDP has also hired and primed its thugs to act with a practice run, being staged at Ungwar Shanu last Sunday.
“However in the coming days, the PDP plans to put its thugs in APC attires so as to shift the blame for the nefarious, brutal and callous acts of violence they are planning.”
The party however called on all its supporters to continue to ignore provocations, stay calm and report every act of violence, intimidation, harassment or threat.
“We are also alerting the general public to be vigilant. The APC requests all the security agencies to note and deter the PDP’s planned ambush of our people’s democratic will,” the party said.
