Our party has been notified of some careless rumours making the rounds that PDP members drove by the campaign office of the APC Governorship candidate and shot at their supporters. Nothing can be farther from the truth. How did the person know that the shooters were PDP members? Assuming there was any shooting?
Speaking through its spokesperson, Comrade Ini Ememobong, the PDP said “A better explanation for such a shooting will be that the boys from Edo state, who were able to beat security checks, who later made their way into town, having learnt of the arrest of their colleagues, went to meet their sponsors at the campaign grounds, to demand their immediate release. In such a circumstance, releasing a few shots is considered normal.”
“The leadership of the APC should hide their faces in shame for such ignoble act of importing thugs from Edo state to cause crisis in Akwa Ibom state, so that elections can be cancelled. Our party is a party of peace and not war. We see God not Warsaw.”
“Remember that God frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. God will continue to frustrate all evil plans against Akwa Ibom state,” he said.
