‘The postponement of 2019 general polls is a ploy to frustrate and disenfranchise the electorates.’
The immediate past chairman of Abia State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ASOPADEC), Rt. Hon. Emeka Stanley, who stated this after the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Stakeholder’s meeting in Ohambele Ndoki, in Ukwa-East Local Government Area of Abia state, described the postponement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as another insensitive and heartless cruelty of manipulating the general polls by Mr President and the All Progressives Congress (APC)
The former federal lawmaker and the PDP Ukwa-East campaign coordinator accused APC of colluding with INEC to cause frustration to voters and invariably cause instability in the polity.
“People left their businesses from far places, some cancelled their marriages, among other arrangements, travelled to vote, only for elections to be postponed six hours to the election without recourse to these factors. This is the height of insensitivity”, he further stated.
Rt. Hon. Stanley further described four years of APC at the centre as four years of nothingness, adding that APC interference to postpone election only postponed their imminent defeat in the general polls as PDP is ever determined to reposition Nigeria on the path of greatness.
He, however, stated, that the shift will not dampen their enthusiasm in anyway but will strengthen them more, adding that they are resolute to change this government that has brought untold hardship to Nigerians.
The former Abia deputy Speaker, called on all PDP supporters to remain peaceful, steadfast and come out again en masse to make Nigeria better for themselves and their unborn children through their votes.
