Description

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River State, Prof Sandy Onor has alleged that the All Progressives Congress, has planned to import thugs into the state to cause mayhem during the elections.

He made the allegation on Friday at a news conference after the conclusion of the tour of the 18 local government areas of the state.

According to him, “Just after our campaign team peacefully left the North, Ayade led his party into that region and one of the comments we have heard so far from the governor is the allegation that the opposition is planning to import thugs and militants from other parts of the country, to terrorise the state during the general elections. We laughed as we heard this because we know it is exactly what Ayade is planning to do.

“The entire state is aware of how Ayade imported thugs and militants into the northern part of the state for the by-election which held last year. Having realised that his party had woefully lost, he brought in a band of official and unofficial marauders who inflicted mayhem on the electoral officials and seized materials to enable them distort the figures and then submit same to INEC.
