The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has threatened to boycott the 2019 general elections if INEC and
security agencies do not show neutrality during the polls.
The PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche
Secondus made this known on Thursday afternoon in Abuja, when a combined
delegation of the International Republican Institute (IRI) and the National
Democratic Institute (NDI) paid him a visit at the party's national
secretariat.
“We are still contemplating on whether we will
participate in the 2019 elections or not. We are yet to take a decision on
this."
“We are not sure that the security agencies
and INEC would be impartial and transparent. In the Ekiti elections, there were
instances our party agents’ tags were removed and given to the APC
agents."
“There were clear cases of manipulation,
ballot snatching and harassment of our party agents,” Secondus said.
