The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress says the call by the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party for the arrest of the national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, is mischievous.

The APC added that since Tinubu called for the roasting of those who would rig the coming governorship election in Ekiti and Osun states, the PDPs reaction showed that it was defending the continued subjection of elections in Nigeria to manipulation and rigging.

In a statement by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the APC, Joe Igbokwe, the party wondered why the PDP always grew paranoid whenever the issue of punishment for election riggers cropped up.

Igbokwe said the Lagos PDP, by its reaction, was also publicising the readiness of the party to continue to tow the line of electoral criminality through shamelessly stealing every election and subjecting the country to the scourge of corrupt unelected leadership.

He said, We are not surprised that it is the PDP that has come in defence of election rigging because we know the history of the party.

That the state chapter of a party that has been ruling the country for the past 15 years can come out and make an endorsement of election rigging as the call for Tinubus arrest for warning against election rigging portends shows that Nigerians have not witnessed the last of the PDPs bizarre electoral frauds.

We therefore warn Nigerians to be on their guards as the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections approach and the 2015 elections draw nearer.

Igbokwe said the state of the country with wrecked infrastructure, corruption, governmental incompetence and embarrassing cluelessness, general state of insecurity and hopelessness were products of electoral fraud.

The Lagos APC spokesman disagreed with the state PDP that Tinubus statement was capable of worsening the security situation in the country.
