The Publicity Secretary of PDP, Mr Mike Ogisi, who raised the alarm in a statement made available to newsmen in Calabar on Wednesday, alleged the ruling party is working with some forces in the Police to effect the arrest ahead of Satutday Presidential and National Assembly elections.
According to him, “about 150 of its members and supporters, especially from the Northern senatorial district of the state, have been penciled down to be arrested.
“We have it on good authourity that some elements in the police are plotting on how to move into the north and arrest some PDP supporters and send dears into them.
“We call on the Inspector General of Police to call his officers to order. We enjoin our members and supporters not to be intimated or harrased by anybody and should come out en mass to exercise their franchise on Saturday.
“We will all vote our choices on Saturday and wait to defend our votes,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the Police Command have said that they are unaware of such plans.
Reacting, one of the Police Commissioners deployed to the state for election, Kabiru Ibrahim,
said: “Even if such plans exist, it will not happen.”
Describing the allegation as unfounded and that the PDP should rather concentrate to woes voters for the remaining days for campaigns, the PAC publicity secretary, Mr. Erasmus Ekpang, said: “It is a blatant lie and by the way, who counted them? PDP should stop all this talk.”
