Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) said yesterday that it has unearthed
plans by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential
candidate Atiku Abubakar to infiltrate the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) by sponsoring its supporters to work within
the commission as electoral officers.
BMO also said the opposition was deploying massive resources to rig the election.
The organisation said in a statement issued by its chairman, Niyi
Akinsiju and secretary, Cassidy Madueke, that the plans of the
opposition “to subvert the will of the people”, is the recent
recruitment of a former INEC Chairman known to have presided over the
worse election in Nigeria’s recent political history.
The group said the rigging plot also involves spending huge sums of
money on police personnel and election officials in many parts of the
country. It added that the opposition was also plotting to infiltrate
the electoral body with their supporters.
The group asked INEC to be vigilant and ensure that PDP supporters were
not recruited as electoral officers for the presidential and other
elections
