The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of sewing fake Police uniform for thugs to use them rig the forthcoming general elections.

To achieve the plan, the opposition party said, thugs in police uniforms would be unleashed on the opposition to cripple mobilisation of voters and create fears in the minds of APC members to enable Peoples Democratic Party have a field day during the elections.



The APC also raised the alarm over alleged plan by the governor to arrest the party leaders before the March 28 presidential election.

A statement by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said the party had discovered the governor?s plot to use trumped-up charges to incarcerate the leaders to cripple the party?s mobilisation efforts‎ for victory.

?After it became clear that soldiers would no‎t be allowed to be deployed for the polls, PDP leaders in Ekiti State have opted for the police. They have discovered that the fake army uniforms they sewed would be useless and they have started sewing police uniforms for their operation,? Olatubosun explained.

He stated that the young men in six 18-seater buses allegedly brought into the state at night about three weeks ago with military uniforms in their luggage were still the same personnel PDP wanted to use for the operation.

But reacting, Fayose?s Special Assistant on Information, Lanre Ogunsuyi, said the allegation was unfounded.
?The APC is already conceding defeat before the elections proper. All their tricks are falling apart.
?The allegation is preposterous. Nothing is working in their favour that is why they are concocting all these lies,? he added.

Olatunbosun said the APC would use all legal means, including civil actions, to defen‎d their votes against any invaders on election day.

?We want to send a strong warning to Fayose that it is not going to be business as usual this time around. He did his worst during the last governorship election‎ when the Nigerian Army personnel deployed to Ekiti State helped him to supervise election rigging.

?Details of the criminal conspiracy are being heard around the world over that despicable act. We have learnt our lessons and he should be told that APC members are prepared for the worst of his plans.

?We will never get ourselves involved in criminalities but we will defend our votes by all means, legal and civil. Let Fayose know that as he is planning for his rigging, we are also planning to defend our votes. If he believes he can?t survive without bending the law, we will show him that upholding the law by defending our votes remains the only way to make democracy work,? Olatubosun said.
He urged the police authorities not to be compromised, saying that siding with a party in political contest was a recipe for the break down of law and order.
