The All Progressives Congress, APC says its attention has been drawn to a false and misleading statement credited to one Godspower Keku, the state secretary of the PDP on the botched exercise of inspecting electoral materials in ostensible compliance with the clear orders of the Bayelsa State Governorship Tribunal sitting in Abuja, given on 5th December 2019.
in a statement by the APC State Secretary, Honourable Alabo Martins said what transpired on Sunday, December 14, 2019 at the fixed venue for the ongoing said inspection, was a deliberate stratagem by the PDP and their cohorts numbering about 50.
Alabo Martins says these persons who are not the petitioners, solicitors or party agents are out to cause confusion and tamper with electoral documents to fit their already shaky petition describing it as a voyage of fishing for documents potent.
According to him, while only six persons represented the APC, the two INEC officials present, were overwhelmed with the strange number of persons the PDP brought into the exercise that should have been an ordinary civil and simple exercise disrespecting in the glare of the whole world, the tribunal's orders.
He said the single act of the PDP which their verbal protests could not make them to change their mode of operation left the INEC officials with no other choice than to suspend the exercise, alleging that the outgoing PDP government is set to destroy evidence of its defeat, distort sensitive electoral documents and tamper with same.
The APC, in view of the circumstances, appeals to the INEC not to treat PDP's conduct with levity and call the gang of Interlopers and busy bodies off, while adding that at the appropriate time, the party through it's solicitors will take steps to void the outcome of those contemptuous display of impunity by the PDP and their sympathisers.
