- The APC campaign council urged security agencies to beef up security around INEC offices.
- Mr Kingsley Fanwo, the APC campaign council’s Director of Media and Publicity/Spokesperson, made the calls in a statement issued in Lokoja on Sunday night.
If anything suspicious happens at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Lokoja, the public is asked to hold the Social Democratic Party (SDP) responsible by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Campaign Council in Kogi State.
Security agencies were instructed to strengthen security surrounding INEC offices by the APC campaign council.
The demands were stated in a statement released in Lokoja on Sunday night by Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, the Director of Media and Publicity and Spokesperson for the APC campaign council.
The SDP claimed to be making plans to set fire to the INEC office in a statement released by Mr. Isaiah Ijele, Director General, New Media, MuriSam Campaign Council.
“It has come to our notice via grave vines that there is an urgent need for security to be beefed around the Kogi INEC office in order to avert the sinister plot to burn down the office by mandate bandits,” Ijele alleged.
However, the APC campaign council stated that the party was certain that the SDP’s false alert about an alleged planned attack on the INEC office intended to cover up the party’s evil goal of torching the INEC office and blaming it on the APC.
