The party described the statement as a plan to destabilize and collapse the democratic system and institute a reign of anarchy knowing fully well that parallel government have no place in a Presidential system.

This was contained in a statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh on Wednesday. 

Metuh said that the APC’s understanding of rigging is where they lose election, adding that wherever they win as was the case in Edo State, the election becomes free and fair.

PDP accused APC of planning of overthrowing a democratically elected government having realized that the party (APC) cannot win in the general election, following the statement made by Odigie-Oyegun.

Metuh said  ”The pronouncement confirms that the APC is indeed promoting a Janjaweed ideology and further reinforces the long held suspicion that they have been holding meetings outside the country to enact an Arab Spring as a means to forcefully take over power when it loses in 2015.

”This explains why they have been making inflammatory statements and publishing negative advertorials and articles in local and foreign media to incite Nigerians, embolden insurgents and stir hatred and division among the populace while balkanizing the nation along its fault lines…

The party accused APC of sponsoring anti-government protest and calls for civil disobedience in parts of the country with the intention of cultivating a versatile ground for them to unleash a reign of terror against the country.

”The importation of thugs to cause confusion in elections including in Anambra, Ekiti and now Osun state are all part of the plot to discredit the electoral system and truncate the 2015 elections.

”The attacks on institutions of government including the judiciary and the security agencies are all part of the larger plot to weaken government systems and make them vulnerable and powerless and set the stage for the materialization of their ignoble plans.” He added

PDP also said that hiring of foreign consultants by the APC to tarnish the image of the country abroad, as a means to gain foreign support when they eventually strike.
