The All Progressives Congress has raised the
alarm over President Goodluck Jonathan’s
unannounced visit to Lagos State a day to the
governorship election.
National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, in a statement, wondered why
Jonathan arrived in Lagos late on Thursday.
He said Jonathan had a closed-door meeting with
the Peoples Democratic Party governorship
candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje; the Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs II, Musiliu Obanikoro; and
the National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples
Congress, Gani Adams.
Mohammed alleged that the meeting was
obviously to strategise on how to manipulate the
polls.
He said Jonathan was using the general
perception, that he is a ‘good sportsman’, to
deceive Nigerians.
He said the President was on a “revenge mission”
to rig in Lagos because he failed in the state on
March 28.
The APC spokesman added that the PDP had
brought in fake result sheets, which it would use
to record doctored figures on Saturday.
He said the PDP was desperate to win Lagos
because having lost the centre, Lagos was the
only means through which the party could be
funded.
Mohammed said, “Before the meeting, eagle-eyed
Nigerians, who are appalled by the PDP’s rigging
plans, have widely circulated on the social media
the details of the planned electoral malfeasance,
including the airlifting from Abuja to Lagos of a
Black Kia Mohave SUV, with number plate DHQ
340, which was packed with election materials
(especially result sheets).
”The meeting in Lagos was aimed at devising a
strategy to distribute the fake result sheets that
were packed into the SUV, which will be free to
move around (because of its plate number)
despite the restriction on vehicular movement
during the elections.
”The same President, who conceded defeat in the
presidential election and then followed up with a
speech in which he said he would like his ‘legacy’
of free and fair elections to endure, is the one
who is presiding over a desperate move to steal
the people’s votes on Saturday.
”How can President Jonathan’s ‘legacy’ endure
when one of his last acts in office is a seeming
vengeance mission to lead his party to capture
Lagos, because the PDP sees the state as a cash
cow that they can milk to death, with the party’s
gravy train at the federal level, having derailed?”
