The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the attendance at the presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Wednesday as a further indication that Nigerians have rejected them ahead of Saturday’s presidential election.
According to a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiya on Wednesday, the PDP said the development has further revealed that the APC only fabricated figures in their claims that 14.8 members of the party voted for Buhari at their convention.
“Nigerians can now further see that the figures were concocted by APC leaders to give an impression that President Buhari has massive support across the country as well as use it as basis to allocate fictitious figures for him in the presidential election.
“President Buhari, who was pelted by Nigerians at his campaign rally in Ogun State on Monday again slurred at the Abuja rally and as usual, could not even articulate any meaningful message for his very scanty audience at the Eagle Square in Abuja.
“The PDP says the failed rallies should serve as an ample signal to President Buhari and the APC that Nigerians have moved ahead in rallying with the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar and no amount of enticement or intimidation can change that resolve.
“The PDP therefore urge compromised officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and our security agencies to note the tide and extricate themselves from any form of entanglement or pact to rig the elections for President Buhari as they will be doing so at their own peril,” the statement read.
