The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged voters not to be scared by what the party described as a shoot-on-sight directive against would-be ballot box snatchers, following a controversial statement by President Muhammadu Buhari had.
Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja yesterday, the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, urged Nigerians to be focused and refuse to be intimidated as they go out to cast their votes.
He described Buhari’s directive as a ploy to manipulate the elections.
Secondus said: “When the President threatened the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the elections were rescheduled, the intention was to frighten and cow them into playing along with the All Progressives Congress (APC) agenda.
“When they harass, arrest and block bank accounts of the opposition stakeholders, what they want is to win at all cost.
“When they drag military institutions into politics, the aim is obviously to destroy that institution the way they are doing to the legislature and the judiciary.
“But I urge you Nigerians to refuse to be intimidated or provoked but remain focused and fix your eyes on the ball, which is victory that is coming on Sunday.
The PDP chairman appealed to stakeholders in the election, particularly the INEC, security agencies and political party agents, to remember that the election is about Nigeria.
“This election is about rescuing this country. It’s about sustaining our democracy.”
