Gov Suswam Accuses APC Of Training Thugs To Cause Electoral Violence InThe State.

 Benue State governor, Gabriel Suswam, has accused the APC in the state of training thugs that would cause electoral violence.

He made allegation while speaking to newsmen in Makurdi at the weekend even as he noted that APC was perfecting plans to rig the elections.


"They (APC) are also training thugs for the same purpose. This coming election is a complete different ball game," he stated.
Suswam who observed that the APC also had plans to rig the election said the four suspects recently arrested by the Benue State command of the Nigeria Police with about 13,000 Permanent Voter's Cards (PVCs) last Thursday were members of the APC.

"Security reports available to me indicate that APC is planning to rig the forthcoming elections in the country.

"Four APC members were arrested by the Benue Police Command with a lot of Permanent Voter's Cards (PVCs) few days ago," he stated.

The governor described as "unfortunate" the situation where "some politicians are gathering PVCs with the aim of rigging the coming elections which is not just possible."

He also condemned the actions of politicians intending to hijack card readers, insisting they were wasting their time as the machines cannot be manipulated.

Suswam therefore charged the leadership of the PDP at the three tiers of government to embark on massive voter education on the voting processes during the elections.
