The All Progressives Congress has raised the alarm over suspicious election-related activities being carried out at the Federal Government Press on Mobil Road, opposite Coca Cola in Ajegunle, Lagos.Vanguard reports that the APC’s national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, issued a statement in which he said that the workers at the facility were sent home early on Friday on the pretext of getting the place ready for use today (Saturday, March 28) for a ‘presidency’ assignment.
”A concerned Nigerian alerted us to these developments, and we wonder what a federal government facility can be needed for on election day if it is not part of the facilities designated by INEC for election collation purpose.
”We are therefore compelled to alert the security agencies to
urgently put the Federal Government Press at Mobil Road in Lagos under surveillance, with a view to stopping any possible illegal activities that may be going on there on this election day,” it said.
The APC said that the PDP is desperate to capture Lagos state at all costs, so cannot be trusted not to manipulate the election process, hence the alarm. The party also said the phone lines of key leaders of the APC have been bombarded with calls from an unknown number with a view to rendering them useless on election day.
The calls, which started in the early hours of Saturday, were so persistent that genuine calls could not come in while no calls could be made from the phone lines.
