Bayelsa Rerun: Sylva's desperadoes to unleash bribe money in fake currencies-PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on all their ward agents
to be extra vigilant during the Saturday, January 9 rerun, just as they
accused Chief Timipre Sylva of inducing INEC officials with the sum of one
million naira each.
The Director of Publicity, Restoration Campaign Organisation, Chief
Jonathan Obuebite, who sounded the note of warning said, “In their
desperation to win by other means at the rescheduled rerun election of
Southern Ijaw and 101 other In Bayelsa State, the All Progressive
Congress, APC, and their candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva, are set to
bribe their way with an inducement of one million naira each INEC
official.”
Obuebite further warned “as a result of this desperation we have
placed our agents for tomorrow’s election on high alert and vigilance
as APC has since discovered that they cannot win in a free and fair
election.”
He said “just like they did during the December 5 polls, the bulk of
their bribe money is in fake currencies, as it is proven that APC is
broke.”
It would be recalled that the PDP, had prior to the December 5 election
uncovered plans by the leading opposition party to induce voters with over
N2bn fake naira notes, which turned out to be true.
While making this revelation in Yenagoa, Hon. Obuebite had called on the
general public to examine the money they are collecting from the members
of APC . Describing the act as criminal and a punishable offence, under
the law, Obuebite had said “the printing and circulation of fake
currencies was aimed at making up for the short fall in funding arising
from the refusal of the Niger Delta Development Commission, (NDDC) to
fund the campaign of the APC gubernatorial candidate, Chief Timipre
Sylva.
Reports had It then that President Muhammadu Buhari, personally stopped
the NDDC from releasing about N4 billion that was meant to fund the APC
candidate for the December 5 election in Bayelsa State.
It would also be recalled that PDP had prior to this period raised an
alarm over plans by the NDDC to award phony contracts to fund Sylva's
election. Having failed in this aspect, the party later perfected another
plan to induce innocent voters with fake naira and dollar notes that are
already in circulation.
The statement called on the security operatives and other relevant
agencies to step into the matter and bring the culprits to book.
