The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has raised a rallying cry to
all its members, supporters and lovers of democracy across the country to rise
up and use all lawful means to resist what they call, anti-democratic forces,
now using the judiciary and security agencies in their desperate scheme to
subvert the will of the people and destroy the nation’s democracy.
The party said though it seeks peace, it is
not ready to accept the peace of a graveyard, neither is it willing to
surrender the mandate freely given to it by the people in any part of the
country, particularly in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia, Taraba and other
states where it won in the last general elections.
“Let it be known, and clearly too, that no
matter the strong-arming, threats and manipulations by the APC government, the
PDP is not willing to, and will never surrender the mandate freely given to us
by the people in states where we won in the last general elections, neither are
the people of those states willing to allow sectional invaders to exert
influence on those to be in charge of their affairs,” the party said in a
statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Sunday.
