The statement read in part:
"Based on its latest press statement about having ‘credible information’ about certain individuals plotting to derail the 2023 elections, including acts of arson already perpetrated on the facilities of INEC, we therefore call on the law-enforcement agencies to, as a matter of urgency, invite the PDP leaders for immediate questioning. The PDP must provide information regarding:
1. The place and time such a meeting took place and those in attendance
2. The identities of those who committed these acts of arson on the facilities of INEC
3. The information must also include the identity of those who sponsored these individuals (if any).
It added that the PDP should not joke or play politics with grave security matters. Having ‘credible information’ as to plots and individuals relating to the attack on INEC offices currently, further plots to disrupt elections is, indeed, a matter of national security.
2023 presidency: Atiku reveals what he will do if he loses again after 6th attempt
Meanwhile, former vice president Atiku Abubakar has run for president five times. His current bid to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 will make his sixth attempt.
Atiku said his bid to become Nigeria’s president is a lifelong ambition that he will continue to pursue as long as he is alive and healthy. After saying he would continue to pursue the presidential dream if he’s alive and strong, Atiku quickly suggested the presidential 2023 election would be his final act.
Meanwhile, a long-serving aide of the PDP presidential candidate whose name was not mentioned also told the FT how his principal will win in 2023. The aide said Atiku would give his opponents, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) a close run in their southern strongholds and take advantage of President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence on the ballot to win the northern votes by a wide margin.
