APC training fake policemen to rig election

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of planning to use members of the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme as fake policemen for rigging the August 9, 2014 election.

This was contained in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday by Omisore’s media aide, Mr. Diran Odeyemi.

Omisore said the APC was planning to rig the election having realised that the people of the state had rejected it.

He said, “Information available to the party has it that the remaining cadets of OYES have already been arranged and designated into units and will be kitted in police uniforms to aid the fraud being planned by the APC.

“This is contrary to the Memorandum of Understanding between INEC and NYSC that only corps members will be deployed for electoral duties. OYES members are being recruited to perfect the rigging plans on perpetrate on August 9.”

Reacting to the allegation, the APC challenged Omisore to take security agents to the place where the fake policemen were being trained.

He said, “If they are truthful to themselves, let them take the security agencies to the spot where the so called policemen are being trained. We don’t need fake policemen.

“We only need people to beat Omisore silly. We make bold to say that we have more than enough army of people committed and dedicated to go to the 3, 010 polling units in the state and thumbprint the broom symbol of APC. No force can stop Aregbesola. He is ordained to win again.

“These people are interested in making noise. We said a fortnight ago that they have brought in bales of army uniforms. They have no response till today. When we say this is what they are doing, we know and they can’t contend it. But all this can’t take them anywhere. Omisore is interested only in threatening people.”
