The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed concern that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is fixated on disrupting the peaceful atmosphere of Ondo State during Saturdays governorship election.
According to PDP, the ruling party had begun to unleash thugs on its members in the state ahead of the poll.
While raising the alarm that APC had been plotting to compromise the poll, the PDP, at a press conference, raised eyebrows on the number of paramilitary personnel drafted for the election.
Stressing that such a move signposts plans to intimidate the opposition ahead of the election, the chairman of the governorship campaign council, Eddy Olafeso, stated that the actions of the party threaten peaceful elections.
Olafeso added that the commitment of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ensure credible proceedings is in doubt due to recent developments in the state.
