Yuguda Plots Emergency Rule, Polls Cancellation – APC
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign
Organization (APCPCO) has alerted that Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi
state is plotting a preposterous act to instigate violence as a result
of the outcome of elections observed in the state.
According to the APC, Governor Yuguda is plotting an emergency rule and vote cancellation in the state.
Daily Trust reports that, the opposition campaign raised an alarm of Yuguda plotting to foment trouble to cause the cancellation of Saturday’s election and provoke emergency rule in the state.
Addressing newsmen, the spokesperson of the All Progressive Congress campaign, Malam Garba Shehu made this known in a statement issued in Daura, Katsina State yesterday.
Garba said that the intelligence report at its disposal indicated that the Bauchi State governor was in the process of manufacturing crises across the state so as to give an impression that elections across the state was inconclusive and therefore call for an outright cancellation of all the elections held on Saturday in the state.
“We
have it on good authority that Governor Yuguda is planning to engineer
violence across Bauchi State in order for him to provoke a state of
emergency so that elections across the state which put the APC in strong
lead in the state would be seen to have been marred by violence,” he said.
“We make bold to state that this plot by the Bauchi State governor to write off the electoral wishes of the people is anti-democratic, pernicious, subversive and absolutely unacceptable,” Shehu said.
“In the light of this development we call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to be railroaded by Governor Yuguda and all other anti-democratic forces into taken actions that may jeopardise the tranquility we have so far enjoyed in the course of this election. “We, however, call on the teeming supporters of the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari in Bauchi State and across the country to be abreast of this development and never fall for the demonic plot to write off their franchise as clearly expressed in the Saturday, March 28 Presidential and National Assembly Election. We urge them to be resolute, vigilant, peaceful and law abiding,” the statement said.
