The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cried out, claiming that more than 500 of its supporters have been arrested by the Police ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State.
The Director of Media and Publicity, Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation, Mr. Lere Olayinka, raised the alarm on Friday night.
He accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of displaying bias and allegedly working for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Olayinka said: “People holding as little as N2,000 are being arrested for holding cash and some of them are being accused of armed robbery and stealing.
“However, we wish to tell Nigerians that Ekiti people are resolutely behind the PDP and its candidate, Prof Kolapo Olusola, and we are sure of wining the election, except INEC decides to just allocate figures to the APC.
“We therefore urge Ekiti people not to be intimidated by the army of occupation laying siege on the State presently. Ekiti people will triumph.”
