PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Monday said “having been exposed in its hypocrisy, lies and empty promises, the APC in obvious frustration is now engaged in dangerous mind game using wild allegations in a bid to cause panic, balkanise the nation and create the way for a reign of anarchy in the country.
“For the APC, it has become a matter of ‘if we can’t have it, then let’s destroy it’. In the last couple of weeks, this opposition party and its leaders have engaged in dishing out dangerous false alarms in a bid to discredit the electoral process, heighten tension, create fear in the minds of the people and push the polity to the brink,” Metuh said.
The PDP said APC  statement that the federal government paid N9 billion to ethnic militias to foment trouble, before, during and after the general elections and another alleging that the federal government has hired an Israeli  expert, Gyora Berger, to sabotage card readers on election day are false.
“This is in addition to another statement on March 9 in which it alleged of plots to harass its financiers and cripple its operations  ahead of elections.”
The PDP said it is aware that the APC has lined up many of such false allegations to be released methodologically to the  public to swell tension as elections draw nearer.
“We therefore alert the entire nation, especially security agencies, electoral officials and our members to be vigilant as these allegations could indeed be a subterfuge by the APC to cover a grand plot to unbridle violence on innocent citizens”, the party said.
