2023: Imo PDP, APC trade accusations over alleged rigging plans
By Adeleye Kunle
The All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State, on Sunday, accused each other of alleged plans to rig the 2023 elections in the state.
The PDP, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Collins Opurozor, raised the alarm, urging the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ensure that the vexed issue of voter register fraud is expeditiously resolved and the tainted register thoroughly cleaned up, to restore public confidence in the electoral system.
The PDP said, “What is also very important to highlight is that the failed APC regime in Imo State, which has grown jittery about the forthcoming elections and is now resorting to all manner of shenanigans, including INEC voters register compromise, to rig the elections.”
Responding, the APC, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Cajethan Duke, said, “The attention of the Hon. Macdonald Ebere-led All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State chapter, has been drawn to another senseless and mindless release by the Imo State PDP, in which it laughably as well as incoherently alleged that our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, deserves to be voted out because it has failed to provide dividends of democracy in the state.
“Ridiculously, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State, has once again demonstrated its propensity to being in its last stage of death and decay.
“Using its inelegant and disjointed charge, PDP noted that, “Regretting that Imo has been run aground by the APC, it was resolved that party stakeholders will work unanimously to weed out the nefarious APC from Imo and deliver all PDP candidates across the State in next year’s elections”.
“Nothing can be more disingenuous and sickening than the above lame accusation by the grossly disunited PDP.
“First, let it be known to PDP, a party in life-support, that all the present maladies being witnessed in the state, as well as the country as a whole, was due to the umbrella party’s misrule, misgovernance as well as leadership failure
