The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has petitioned the United Nations (UN) accusing the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of planning to scuttle the 2019 general elections, particularly the presidential poll.
The PDP said there is heightened tension in the country, adding that if the UN and the international community failed to intervene, the nation would witness electoral stillbirth, capable of triggering violence and humanitarian crisis in Nigeria and the entire sub-Sahara region.
The PDP Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who led the members of the National Working Committee (NWC) to receive the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for West Africa and the Sahel, Mr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, in his office on Friday, in Abuja, alerted the UN Security Council that President Buhari was already compromising the military and other security forces as tools to muscle the electoral process.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, said Secondus also called for the resignation of Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and Mrs. Amina Zakari, who he said is a niece of Mr. President and could not be trusted.
