PDP to Buhari: You can’t rig this election

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) that they cannot rig the February 16 presidential election.

The main opposition party reminded the President and his party that Nigeria is bigger than them and that there is no way Nigerians will allow them to rig the 2019 general elections or achieve their self-succession plan.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, spokesman for the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the nation’s history has amply shown that no individual leader, no matter the authority wielded, has ever succeeded, at any point in time, in subduing the spirit of the nation or place Nigerians under siege.

In apparent reference to the presence of Niger Republic nationals at President Buhari’s campaign rally in Kano last week, the PDP said not even this strange recourse to importation of mercenaries into the country can change that reality.
