In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party has accused Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Of purchasing each Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) for N10.000 in its desperation to win the forthcoming elections.
The APC further alleged that a company, Agro-Allied Communities Service Nigeria Limited, has been formed ostensibly to provide N50,000 loan each to ‘empower’ women.
The party also claimed that, “ anyone seeking to get the loan must provide her PVC as ‘collateral’, which is basically the essence of the establishment of the company that is supposedly a private concern but in reality a PDP front to mop up PVCs, especially in opposition strongholds.”
APC said it is now getting clearer by the day what the PDP-led federal government sought to gain by forcing the postponement of the elections for six weeks – which is to perfect their rigging plans.
The party warned,” those behind the abhorrent acts to desist from such tactics, which reflect the desperation by some people to hold on to power at all cost, even when it is clear that Nigerians have widely rejected them due to non-performance, massive corruption and profligacy under their watch.”
It also appealed to its members, supporters and Nigerians not to sell their PVCs under any guise, saying it is the only power they have to effect a meaningful change that can ensure the deliverance of democratic dividends to them.
It said, ‘’Our members have alerted us to the fact that PDP agents have been operating in all villages between Kobape and Orile-Imo along the Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway in Ogun State, giving N10,000 to each poor villager and collecting their PVCs. (Leadership)
