PDP wants Supporters to stay at Polling Unit after Casting Votes
Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ahmadu Alli, has urged supporters of the party to stay at polling booths after casting their votes in the forthcoming elections so as to monitor the counting of their votes.
Alli, who is the Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) said this in Abuja, in reply to a directive by the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, ordering Nigerians not to stay back at the polling units after casting their votes.
He said his statement was due to rumours that the APC was planning to rig the elections.
He said: “A lot has been said about this election. I want to bring an aspect to you which is vital. The changing of guards at the presidential villa is crucial because it is our post 100 years of co-existence. We must use this election to prove our enemies wrong. Goodluck Jonathan is our solution to the series of problems we have in this country.
“He is well tested and has risen through the ranks to become a president. Can you say such a man does not have experience? Our product is marketable unlike the other old man who is part of my generation. He wants to come and rule this nation in this stage when everyone is moving to endorse younger leaders. We must support Jonathan to ensure that the old are not allowed to come back.”
