The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of seeking to thwart individuals’ efforts to get voter identification cards.
APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu was terrified of the popularity of PDP flagbearer Atiku Abubakar, according to Debo Ologunagba, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, in a statement released over the weekend.
The ruling party, according to the spokesperson, is specifically “preventing citizens from the South-East” from receiving their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVC).

He said it was part of the APC’s “desperate plan to disrupt legitimate elections in 2023 by using violence, having recognized that Nigerians have rejected Asiwaju Tinubu.”
According to the PDP, Tinubu “has been in morbid terror of Atiku Abubakar’s surging popularity” and is attempting to prevent more Nigerians from receiving their PVCs.
Ologunagba noted that the ruling government pretends to have the support of the people but has been “chasing away prospective voters”.
The APC, he insisted, is suffering from “Pre-Election Fever Syndrome” in trepidation that it cannot win in a transparent process.
The party recalled how vocal APC supporters, in previous elections, threatened to throw the Igbos into the Lagoon if they voted for any other platform.

“Violence was unleashed on Nigerians in the Isolo axis of Lagos in the 2019 general elections, where the APC, discovered that it had been rejected at the polls,’ he said.
The PDP told Tinubu and the APC that they cannot suppress Nigerians ready to “take back their country from the stranglehold of the corrupt, incompetent, inhumane and rudderless APC”.
The statement cautioned the former Lagos Governor and his party to “thread carefully and reign in their thugs, hoodlums and terrorists as they will be firmly resisted by Nigerians”.
