Lagos APC Raises Alarm Over Ploy By PDP To Disrupt Forthcoming Bye-elections

…Charges police to the vigilant, and INEC impartial

The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress Party, has raised alarm over ploy by the Peoples Democratic Party to disrupt the by-elections for Lagos East Senatorial district and the Lagos State House of Assembly for Kosofe 2 slated for tomorrow Saturday.

The party spokesman for Lagos State, Seye Oladejo, noted that areas where the elections will be conducted have observed unusual mobilization of hoodlums and miscreants from within and outside the state to disrupt the electoral process in polling areas.

“Arrangements have been concluded to buy votes which negates the provision of the electoral laws.

“Our intelligence has also revealed that there are plans to pay the sum of N5,000 per vote to undermine the electoral process.

“We therefore call on all security agents to be vigilant to arrest any miscreant found disrupting the electoral process.

“We also charge INEC to remain impartial and deliver on their responsibility to the nation.
Our members and supporters are hereby enjoined to protect their votes in the best interest of our nascent democracy.” Seye said.
