The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the opposition APC of intensifying frenzied deployment of false alarms aimed at throwing the polity into chaos and wreck the electoral process.
PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement, said the APC has been exposed in their hypocrisy, lies and empty promises, adding that the opposition “in obvious frustration is now engaged in dangerous mind game using wild allegations in a bid to cause panic, balkanise the nation and create the way for a reign of anarchy in the country.”
The statement said, “For the APC, it has become a matter of ‘if we can’t have it, then let’s destroy it’. In the last couple of weeks, this opposition party and its leaders have engaged in dishing out dangerous false alarms in a bid to discredit the electoral process, heighten tension, create fear in the minds of the people and push the polity to the brinks.
“For instance, how else would one explain the false alarm by the leader of the opposition, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, March 12, 2015, alleging that there were plots to assassinate him, a phantom claim which was followed on Sunday, March 15 by the APC in a statement that there were plans to kill their presidential flag bearer, General Muhammadu Buhari?”
