The Nasarawa State Chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) yesterday tackled the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State for allegedly organising a protest, with the intent to create unnecessary public disturbance, and with the aim of gaining sympathy.
The state chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Aliyu Bello, disclosed the party’s position while briefing newsmen at the party’s secretariat in Lafia, the state capital.
He said the PDP was only democratic in name; adding that every aspect of their action in the state was characterised by political brigandage “which they have demonstrated by mobilising their gullible and vulnerable supporters, amongst them who were women, to parade nakedly on the street, and at the PDP secretariat.”
According to Bello, “The poor women who were recruited to engage in this shameful act, have been paid and convinced that such equally primitive action has the spiritual powers to earn the party victory at the courts.

“So far, the gods or the deities and the spirits the PDP has been invoking, have failed them, and will further fail them again, at the Supreme Court.
“Our optimism for victory at the Supreme Court is based on the facts of what transpired at the Election Petition Tribunal, and the subsequent judgment of the Appeal Court,” he said.
He recalled that one of the basis of the tribunal’s decision to annul the re-election of Governor Sule was that there was over-voting as alleged by the PDP and its candidate, Hon. David Ombugadu.
Bello, however, noted that the tribunal held to this allegation hook, line and sinker, without proof either by the PDP, or its candidate.
