He said the allegations being bandied by the PDP on the procurement of E-voting machines and plans to rig the 2023 elections is a clear testimony that the PDP has already conceded election defeat long before the 2023 electioneering process”.
The statement added that in PDP’s desperate bid to remain in the public reckoning, it has recently resorted to many diversionary activities, including the recent misguided court case instituted against the national caretaker leadership of the APC.
He said:
“The PDP has now issued an irrational and baseless statement on imagined plans to rig the 2023 general elections. The PDP is clearly unsettled and afraid of the APC’s widespread popularity. Hence, the PDP’s imaginary, baseless and concocted allegations of a plan to rig the 2023 elections. The APC will not learn the PDP’s bad habits on election fraud.
“On the part of the APC, there is no need to rig any election because the electoral choice has already been made by Nigerians who continue to vote for the APC, our latest victory being the bye-election for the House of Representatives seat for the Lere Federal Constituency in Kaduna state.
The APC further stressed that Nigerians would continue to reject the PDP going by its past and current antecedents.
Akpanudoedehe stated:
“PDP’s rejection is further reinforced by APC’s widely accepted and hugely successful membership registration exercise which has recorded APC membership strength at over 40 million. The gale of defections by PDP members and leaders to the APC has left the failed opposition party in a comatose state, rendering it incapable of matching the APC in a free, fair and transparent electoral contest."
