The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday expressed the view that the conduct and outcome of last Saturday’s governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States have destroyed the hope Nigerians had in democratic practice.
The party’s spokesman Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement said Nigerians and the entire world watched in horror as the All Progressives Congress-led government trampled the nation’s democracy under foot with an utmost impunity that could only be obtainable in Hitler’s Germany and Samuel Doe’s Liberia, where the lives and rights of citizens meant nothing to suppressive power mongers.

He accused the APC of colluding with security forces and armed hoodlums to invade polling centres, shoot and kill innocent citizens.
He further alleged that the thugs also carted ballot boxes, stuffed them with ballot papers already thumb printed in favour of APC.
Ologbondiyan also claimed that, after the results were allegedly allocated to the APC, it was handed over to an allegedly compromised Independent National Electoral Commission to announce against the will of the people.
