The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has called for the immediate and unconditional release of voters, including its members and supporters, who were allegedly arrested during the ongoing Edo State governorship election.
In a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP accused the All Progressives Congress, APC of orchestrating a coordinated plot with compromised police officials to intimidate and suppress voters. The party condemned the arrests as part of a larger scheme to undermine the election and disrupt the success of its candidate, Asue Ighodalo.
He claimed the APC's actions reflect their fear of defeat, as Ighodalo reportedly enjoys widespread support. 'The APC and their compromised police personnel should know that the game is up and that the people of Edo State will never be cowed to surrender in the face of aggression or terror,' the statement read in part. The PDP urged Edo citizens to remain resilient and defend their democratic rights and votes.
