Labour Party blasts PDP over statements on Delta guber poll

Delta State chapter of Labour Party has warned the National Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisah Metuh, to desist from making careless statements on the April 11 governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.

Metuh had alleged that agents of the opposition parties were planning to compromise stakeholders in Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to doctor electoral materials against the PDP at the tribunals in order to upturn the landslide victory of the party in Delta, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states.

But the Chairman of Labour Party in Delta State, Tony Ezeagwu, insisted that PDP did not win the election in the state, and described Metuh’s comments as “careless, wild and provocative,” warning him “to desist forthwith” from making such statements.

According to Ezeagwu, “Metuh’s claim that PDP won the elections in Delta is a lie. In the contrary, PDP violently subverted the will of our people, the Constitution, and extant laws to be wrongfully declared the winner of the elections because a very biased, corrupt, and unworthy INEC in Delta State made itself a willing partner.”

He said the Labour Party has already perfected plans to make representations to the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, on the fraud, illegality and irregularity allegedly perpetuated by the PDP in collusion with INEC and security agencies.

Ezeagwu further alleged that the card reader innovation was bypassed in most of the polling units during the elections, adding that the Labour Party and its governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru were already at the tribunal challenging the outcome of the polls.
