PDP Accuses Army of Collusion with APC to Rig in Bayelsa
The Governor of Bauchi State and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party campaign council in Bayelsa State, Senator Bala Mohammed, and the PDP candidate in the 2019 state governorship contest, Senator Douye Diri, have accused the Nigerian Army of colluding with the opposition, All Progressives Congress to alter results which already indicate that the PDP was coasting to victory.
“We are leading comfortably and we call on our supporters to remain calm and law abiding. Bayelsa is the goose that lays the golden egg for Nigeria. It is too important to Nigeria and we cannot afford to leave it in the hands of people who will bring back militancy.” “The Ogbia Collation Centre is under siege by the Nigerian Army. It is against the law. By the Nigerian constitution, the army has no business with what happens at a collation centre. Therefore, we call on the soldiers to immediately withdraw. The invasion of the collation centre is unacceptable to us as a party.”
“As we speak, they are arresting all our key members in Ogbia. By the constitution, the Nigerian Army does not have any business in a collation centre. While listing the names of those detained by the military, Diri said that several others picked up in Ogbia were still languishing in incarceration.
