The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is planning to use his army to disrupt the upcoming presidential elections.

The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba argued that the establishment of the security outfit has confirmed their suspicion that the ruling party plans on creating chaos in the upcoming election.

The opposition insisted that Tinubu has declared war on Nigerians by creating his own security outfit and draping them in uniforms.

The statement reads, “The PDP alerts that the establishment of a dangerous militia code-named ‘Jagaban Army’ by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, further confirms PDP’s position that the APC plans to unleash violence on innocent Nigerians and disrupt the 2023 general elections.

“By establishing a militia and draping them with military uniforms, the APC and Asiwaju Tinubu have declared war on Nigerians and openly dared the Nigerian Military apparently with the aim to undermine our national security architecture and sovereignty as a nation”.

Ologunagba recounted how the PDP on several occasions has alerted the citizenry to plans by the APC to destabilize the electoral process.

He lamented that Tinubu and the APC are a present danger and should be placed on a watch list.

The Publicity Secretary alleged that the formation of the militia is the first step in a series of plots which is in compliance with Tinubu’s directive to take power by all means.

“In his directive in the leaked video, Asiwaju charged his followers that “political power is not going to be served in a restaurant, it is not served a la carte. It is what we are doing; It is being determined; you do it at all cost; fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with

“There are already apprehensions in the public space that the APC has been recruiting, training and arming thugs and terrorist elements in secret locations across the country and stockpiling ammunitions for the harassment maiming and killing of Nigerians before, during and after the 2023 general elections. Evidence of their nefarious activities is already manifest in many parts of our country.

The PDP has been made aware of plots by the APC to use the “Jagaban Army” which is designed to operate in fake military outfits similar to that adorned by the APC Youth Leader at a public event recently to pose as soldiers to harass and terrorize innocent Nigerians”.

The PDP stalwart subsequently called on President Buhari to take immediate action against the APC flag bearer to endure that he doesn’t derail the democracy of the country.

“Our Party also charges the security agencies to take immediate action to invite the Presidential Candidate of the APC for questioning as well as arrest the APC Youth Leader, Dayo Israel and other APC leaders involved in this threat to the existence of our nation,” he added.
