The Peoples Democratic Party has accused the opposition All Progressives Congress of plotting to plunge the country into anarchy over the fears of alleged impending defeat at the general elections rescheduled for March 28 and April 11, 2015.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisah Metuh, alleged in a statement in Abuja, on Monday that the APC had resorted to creating panic by raising false alarm.

This, the PDP said, was aimed at causing disturbances out of frustration because of the lies and empty promises it hadbeen peddling have been exposed.

The PDP spokesman said the APC had adopted a position to destroy the country if they failed to capture political power.

He alleged further that the leaders of the party had raised several false alarms intended to rubbish the electoral system, create panic and to push the country to the edge of crisis.

National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in his reaction, however, said the PDP was simply reacting to the fact that its desperate plot to frustrate the elections was daily being exposed.

He said, Ask them, didnt we cry out that they were planning to postpone the elections from February 14?Did it not happen? We cried out that they were planning to reject the use of card readers. Did it not happen? When the elections were postponed, did they not rejoice and address the press, welcoming the development?

The truth of the matter is that their plots are leaking every day. Only yesterday, we cried out that they were giving ethnic militias money to demonstrate against Jega. Did it not happen today?

However, Metuh referred to a claim by APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on March 12, 2015, that there were plots to assassinate him and another claim in a statement of the APC on March 15, 2015, where it was claimed that there were plots to assassinate the partys Presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.).
