Africa-Press – Nigeria. Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olabode George, has described the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as a coalition of strange bed fellows.
Bode George said this on Friday during the inauguration of new PDP executives in Lagos State, alleging that the ruling party was pushing Nigerians to the brink by plotting to rig the 2027 polls.
He warned the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, against engaging in electoral malpractice ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The elder statesman equally cautioned INEC to exercise fairness and transparency, stressing that the Commission lacks constitutional authority to impose leaders on political parties.
“APC is just a coalition of strange bedfellows. In PDP, INEC cannot choose our leaders for us. Opposition parties will resist this irresponsible behaviour from the electoral umpire,” he said.
The former Ondo State military administrator criticised the conduct of a recent election in teh FCT, describing it as shambolic and mismanaged.
He alleged that security agents disrupted voting at a polling unit in Abuja by firing tear gas and snatching ballot boxes.
“This is shameful and despicable,” he said.
The PDP chieftain assured members of a renewed PDP, stressing that anti-democratic elements within the APC would not be allowed to undermine the opposition.
