Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has called for the immediate and unconditional release of voters, including its members and supporters, who were allegedly arrested during the ongoing Edo State governorship election.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP accused the All Progressives Congress, APC of orchestrating a coordinated plot with compromised police officials to intimidate and suppress voters.<\/p>\n

The party condemned the arrests as part of a larger scheme to undermine the election and disrupt the success of its candidate, Asue Ighodalo.<\/p>\n

Ologunagba pointed to a specific incident where a voter was allegedly abducted by armed men linked to the APC while waiting to cast their vote at Uromi Ward 8, Unit 3.<\/p>\n

He claimed the APC\u2019s actions reflect their fear of defeat, as Ighodalo reportedly enjoys widespread support.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC and their compromised police personnel should know that the game is up and that the people of Edo State will never be cowed to surrender in the face of aggression or terror,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n

The PDP urged Edo citizens to remain resilient and defend their democratic rights and votes.<\/p>\n

The party reiterated that police harassment would not deter their path to victory, accusing the APC of \u201cpanic\u201d as the election results began to unfold.<\/p>\n
