According to Lawal, “We want to state further that this planned frame up and arrests will only heat up the polity and poses a danger to this nascent democracy
“We however, ask our members, supporters and party leaders to remain law abiding and reinvigorate further plans to protect ADC interest.
“There is a compelling need for all Nigerians as well to protect and rescue our democracy and not to allow despotism and fascism to replace it”.
Lawal also alleged that the party had got a tip off from reliable source that the APC has perfected plan to use fake Police and Military men to intimidate opposition so as to create fear on the mind of opposition members and supporters in the state, noting that this plan may spell doom for the country’s nascent democracy if such happened.
“We have also uncovered the plot by the APC to use fake Police and Military men in Oorelope to harass and intimate our members, and the issue has been reported to the Police, which the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) has promised to investigate and trail them if the allegations were true.
Lawal said this attitude from the ruling APC is a plot to destabilise their members ahead of the election, noted that the party is unshakable as the electorates have vowed to send APC packing with their votes. Also to keep away some key members and leaders from circulation so that the APC can perfectly carry out their rigging plan during the elections.
