Loyal and
powerful agents in the Presidency are said to be holding a three-day
meeting with all commanders of Army formations on plans to rig the
rescheduled general elections, the main opposition party, All
Progressives Congress, APC, has alleged.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday in Abuja, the APC national
chairman, John Oyegun, said the "rig out APC" meetings are currently
ongoing in Kaduna.
Before the APC press conference, a military insider had written to Premium Times as follows:
“The Presidency has forwarded a secret memo to all commanders of divisions, battalions of the Nigerian Army for a 3-day strategic meeting in Kaduna from Monday. Agenda: ‘How to use military to intimidate voters in APC states, to rig elections in favour of GEJ.”
But the military has denied any such meeting.
The Director of
Defence Information, Chris Olukolade, a Major General, said, “I’m not
aware of any meeting between the military and politicians. All I know is
that Kaduna is an area where a lot of military training and exercises
go on regularly.”
On his part, APC
said Nigerians should remember that they shouted that the Presidency
planned to shift the date of the election, many people did not believe
them, today Nigerians know the truth.
