Our concerns for 2019 general polls by PDP


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said its major concern was free, fair and credible elections where Nigerians will be allowed to freely elect their leaders.

The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Alhaji Lai Mohammed Monday alleged that the opposition had started lobbying some countries to discredit the outcome of the February 16 presidential election if President Muhammadu Buhari wins.

In a reaction, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan said: “Each time the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed comes out to make allegations, he does so in a composite way that leaves no one in doubt about the plan they have already made.

“We can demonstrate this with his recent alarm, wherein he claimed that members of the opposition were bringing in people from Niger Republic to cause mayhem in the country. And behold, who brought in people from Niger Republic for election campaign in Kano? It’s President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress,” he said.

Ologbondiyan also stated: “As far as the PDP is concerned, all we are asking for is a free, fair, credible, clean, clear and transparent election that will be acceptable to majority of Nigerians. That’s all we seek and that’s all we ask for.

“If Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his co-travelers in the APC and the Buhari Presidency have other plans, the PDP is unaware like President Buhari.”
