The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum on Monday accused The All Progressives Congress (APC) of conniving with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to tilt the November 26 Ondo election its way.
This is contained in a statement signed by the forum’s secretary, Patrick Okon, on Monday.
The statement read in part, “We call on Mr. President to caution his party, APC and INEC to be fair in this coming election scheduled for November 26.
“We are aware of the plan of APC to get Ondo state by all means, including listing the assistance of INEC.
“We are warning that we will not fold our arms to watch this impunity and daytime robbery. INEC is an umpire and should play its role very well so that the electorates will have confidence in it.
“From the way things are going, the people are already losing confidence in the commission. INEC should stick to its electoral mandate and should not subvert the law of the land.”
The Ahmed Makarfi faction of the party is unhappy with the decision of INEC to name Jimoh Ibrahim of the Ali Modu Sheriff faction as its candidate in the election.
