December 6, 2015 – The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Bayelsa State has warned of plots by thugs loyal to the All Progressive Congress(APC) to hijack results from members of NYSC used by Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) as adhoc staff, returning from Ekeremor town.
The PDP gave the warning as INEC staff complete collation of results in the Bayelsa Governorship Election in Ekeremor town, Ekeremor Local Government Area, Bayelsa State.
We gathered that distress calls from INEC Returning Officers and Youth Corpers in the area indicate that suspected thugs working for the APC have laid ambush for the NYSC members and returning Officers with intention to hijack the results.
“This is an appeal to all the security agencies, to safeguard the lives of the Corpers and the Returning Officers from this devious plan as well as draw the attention of the international community to this great threat to our emerging democracy”, Chairman of PDP, Chief Serena Dokuba Spiff warned.
He appealed to all well meaning Nigerians to add their voices to the call for a free, credible, and safe election in Bayelsa State.
