THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that fresh facts available to it have shown that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is responsible for the burning of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in various parts of the country. The party made the declaration in a statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary and Director, Media & Publicity PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, in Abuja on Tuesday. It said it already has the details of how the APC mobilized misguided elements in its fold to burn INEC offices and destroy electoral materials and equipment in Plateau, Abia and Anambra state. “In attacking INEC offices and destroying the card readers, APC seeks to cripple the commission’s use of full benefit of technology that will guarantee a credible biometric voter accreditation.”The PDP in very unequivocal terms insisted that it will never accept any attempt by the APC to postpone the Presidential election in any state of the federation. The opposition further said: “The Presidential election must hold in all the states on the 16th of February and President Buhari will be served his defeat certificate.”The PDP, therefore, charged Nigerians to resist “the desperation of the APC, for which it has now resorted to burning INEC offices.”The party also charged INEC to note that the APC is after its facilities and as such put stronger measures to protect itself from the assaults of this desperate party.
