this is disheartening, considering the terms of the Peace Accord, which called for impartiality and non-partisanship by members of our security organization with constitutional roles to play during this civic exercise.

6. As results trickled in on the Sunday, February 24th, 2019, clearly putting the PDP in the lead, the ruling party and President Buhari dispatched high-ranking officials to coercively influence outcomes in different geopolitical zones in the country. For example:

I. The minister of the interior, was dispatched to the North West of the country

II. The Secretary of the Government of the Federation was dispatched to the North East of the country; while the

III. The Attorney General and Minister were dispatched to the South East and South-South regions.

7. With the INEC IT server hacked by agents of the APC to manipulate results, we can with certainty state that results from the following polling units have, for example, been tampered with, note:

i. Sarkin Dawaki ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state

ii. Doka ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state

iii. Agyaragin – Tofa ward

iv. 10, 000 illegal votes added to already announced results in Wurno LGA in Sokoto state

v. Additionally, violent and destructive attacks have been meted out to officials while counting at Lafia St. and police barracks polling units.

8. As if these provocations are not enough, our agents and officials are constantly arrested and in many cases locked-up for complaining that Card Readers were not in use in many Northern states, implying that all results from the Northern part of the country where Card Readers were not used should be voided in accordance with INEC guidelines.

9. I also believe, the arrest of Eng. Buba Galadima, who has been a great symbol of what is courageous about our people goes to show that one man’s ambition is greater than our collective good, and most probably worth the blood of all Nigerians.

10. In that context, I call for Buba Galadima’s immediate and unconditional release, as well as that of all officials and agents of the PDP, in the Southwest, who were mostly arrested on the eve of the elections where intimidation became the APCs sole election strategy.

11. Despite these provocations, intimidation and attempts to hijack our democracy and change the course of history, I must, in fact, convey to our good people the fact that the PDP is on course to victory and the Presidency; therefore, remain resolute and steadfast, because our party shares in your uncertainty and suffering, which must decisively come to a good end for us all.

12. Finally, and once again, we appeal to the leadership of INEC to remain impartial and not become willing agents to disenfranchise our people and derail our democracy, because the world is watching, and history will indeed pass judgment.

In addition, to the international community; we welcome your support for our democracy and extend our gratitude with great hope for our democracy.

Buhari vs Atiku on Final Battle 

Atiku {PDP}  and Buhari {APC}

According to the party stalwart, postponing the elections is a plot by the ruling party to cling to power.

“Having failed in all their nefarious options to enable them to cling on to power, the APC and the INEC came up with the idea of shifting election an action that is dangerous to our democracy and unacceptable”.

The National Chairman said that the APC in connivance with the INEC have been trying all options including but not limited to burning down INEC offices in some states and destroying of electoral materials to create artificial problems upon which to stand for their dubious act.

According to a statement from the National Chairman’s media office signed by Ike Abonyi, Prince Secondus said that the party is privy to all the pressures from the APC and the federal government to “arm-twist the INEC, to dance to their new strategy after their earlier ones failed”.

“With several of their rigging options failing, they have to force INEC to agree to a shift in the election or a staggered election with flimsy excuses pre-manufactured for the purpose.

“For the avoidance of doubt the PDP sees this action as wicked and we are also aware of other dubious designs like the deployment of hooded security operatives who would be ruthless on the people ostensibly to scare them away,” Secondus said.

He said that by the action of the President he has further demonstrated his insensitivity costing the huge cost after Nigerians including those who came home from abroad have all mobilized to their various constituencies.

Secondus recalled that the PDP had earlier alerted Nigerians that the APC was coming up with lined up rigging strategies including burning down of INEC offices and engineering crisis in PDP stronghold areas to scare away the people.

The PDP National Chairman also drew the attention of all lovers of democracy to the statement of President Buhari on the international media that nobody can unseat him from office, the party alleged that the President’s statement is as an indication of what he wants to do.

According to them. only speedy intervention of the national body of our party can bring about sanity into the lagos PDP before 2019 general elections.

The former legal adviser and member of the PDP caucus. Mr Anayo Emeanua, blamed the party's problem on lack of cooperation among the leaders, he said the chairman Mr. Moshood Salvador, along with other state executive members had been working hard to pacify reconcile and bring all aggrieved party leaders and members together.

"we've covered over 10 local government areas before this most unfortunate evebt that led to the death of one of our own leaders happened.

"We want to inform the world that PDP in Lagos is still one family under the state chairmanship of Alhaji Moshood Salvador. And we're seriously working to ensure that this crisis is resolved amicably and quickly".

"But, we cannot do it alone",he said.

"we're calling on the party national bodies, National Working Committee, PDP Governors' forum, PDP national leaders and Members in the National Assembly to beam their dearch lights on Lagos PDP."

Mr. Anayo Emeanua said it will be better if the National Leaders intervene and find out why PDP had been failing as a party since 1999.

"we can achieve success in 2019 general elections, if we intervene so that our party chairman mr. Moshood Salvador will be allowed to continue the good work he has started".

"And as well, we are ready and making arrangement to go to the National Secretariat of the party to give account of what is going on in lagos PDP, he added".

Mr. Mustapha Okandeji, another chieftain of the party (PDP) in Oshodi/Isolo Constituency I, Said it was unfortunate that some leaders of the party were working against its progress.

He added, some of the leaders had been working against the state chairman instead of them working hand in hand,"teaming up" with him to promote the party in lagos.

Alhaji moshood Salvador is a peace loving man, who has been adhering to the party's laws and has never compromised the party's interest.We want the party's national body to wade in for speedy resolution so that we can concentrate and prepare to win and capture Lagos come 2019,he said.

Okanlawon said that the national secretariat of the party should map out strategies to resolve the lingering crises rocking the party in the state before 2019 general elections.

Mr.Adeniyi Aborishade.chairman. Apapa chapter of the party. was shot dead and many others wounded when some suspected hoodlums invaded the party's meeting.

The party in ‎a statement on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said the BMO blamed the PDP for the killings because the government is in a dilemma.

"The BMO, out of frustration of its inability to further beguile Nigerians into believing that Buhari is our 21st Century Messiah, is resorting to baseless, lame and political accusations against the PDP.

"The PDP is compelled to urge security agencies to invite the members of the BMO to provide information as principal witnesses to the carnage that have taken place across our nation.

"On our part, the PDP will not deter on its stance to continue to speak out against the bloodletting and killings of innocent Nigerians and to, on behalf of the citizens, hold the Buhari administration accountable in the discharge of the duty vested on it to ensure security of lives and property of our citizenry.




"We, therefore, urge Nigerians to note the desperate, concerted and sustained moves by the Buhari Presidency, as well as, its chorus boys to politicize the killings and engage in utterances that tend to derail investigations, provide cover for culprits and scuttle efforts by security agencies to apprehend those behind the dastardly act,"the party said.
