Ondo 2020: APC Planning to attack ZLP Rally with our branded vests, PDP Alleges

The Ondo state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) has raised Alarm over an alleged plan by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to attack to Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) flag-off campaign schedule to hold on Saturday.

The PDP Publicity secretary, Hon. Kennedy Ikantu Peretei in a statement released to nigeriancablenewsonline.com on Friday also alleged that part of APC’s plan is to give PDP branded vests and face caps to some persons to attack the rally in Ore, Odigbo Local Government, and make unsuspecting observers believe that the attackers are from the PDP.

He said:

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ondo State Chapter notes with great concern that, political thugs sponsored by the All Progressives Congress (APC) have perfected plans to unleash violence at the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) Flag Off Rally at Ore in Odigbo LGA tomorrow by adorning PDP branded vests and face caps. The purpose is to mislead the public to thinking that such thugs are PDP supporters.”

“We wish to make it abundantly clear that, the PDP stands for peace. We have maintained our cool in spite of consistent unprovoked attack on our supporters including the assassination attempt at the life of our Flag bearer Eyitayo Jegede, SAN in Oba-Akoko.”

“No political party should set Ondo State on fire by precipitating crisis, before, during and after the October 10 Election. All parties should approach the Electorates with their score cards instead of this brazen attempt at intimidation and crude force on people.”

“The PDP has already won the hearts of Ondo State people and does not need violence to win.”

“Again we are calling on the Security Agencies to be on top of their job to fish out these unscrupulous characters and bring them to book.” He added.
