The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) uses intimidation by security agents to compel support from Nigerians.
The party noted that this would play out in the forthcoming supplementary elections scheduled to hold in six states on Saturday.
Speaking with newsmen on Sunday about the supplementary polls, the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, restated that his party would defeat the APC during the elections.
He said, “We are prepared for the rerun in the six states. Though we believed that we ought to have been declared winners in five out of the six states; since the commission is insisting that there must be election, we are ready.

“Nigerians have seen that the APC is an empty shell without the support of some personnel in the army and the other security agencies.
“But these officers and men have also realised that they cannot continue to allow themselves to be used against their brothers and sisters.
“Therefore, they may have decided to turn a new leaf by working for the country and not the interest of a few men whose intentions are not in the interest of the country.
“We will go into the election fully prepared that we are not wrestling only against the APC, but with other evil principalities that are working against the democratic interest of the nation and its people.”
When asked if the party would accept the outcome of the elections when declared by the commission, Secondus said “We cannot answer such question now. Let us wait and see how the elections would be conducted. Let us wait and see what will happen that day.
“But I want to ask INEC to use this opportunity to redeem its battered image. The commission has to wake up and take up its responsibilities. It must not relinquish the ‘independent’ that comes first in its name,” Secondus added.
