The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of creating panic in Kwara State to prevent people from voting on Saturday.
According to him, the party was doing this because it knew it would
lose the governorship and House of Assembly elections.
At the All Progressives Congress final rally, the minister, who is the leader of the party in the state, urged the people to go out and vote to complete the revolution they started by voting out the Senate President during the February 29 election.
The News Agency of Nigeria quote him as saying, “There has been a lot of panic being deliberately created by the opposition, having seen the handwriting on the wall in the last elections. They want to intimidate people and prevent them from coming out to vote.
“Please, do not be intimidated by anyone. Nobody can tell you not to come out to vote. Please, come out en mass to vote for APC on Saturday.
“The President has given the directive to all security agents that anyone who dares to disrupt Saturday’s election will have himself to blame.
“After voting, ensure that you wait to protect your votes until counting; and accompany them to the collation centres.
“We will get our total independence from our oppressors on Saturday.”
