He revealed that their information indicates that the planners’ objective is to make it challenging for the tribunal to convene and hear the final arguments from both parties’ legal representatives.
Orogu, the Nasarawa PDP Chairman, stated, “We have become aware of a plot to create chaos with the intent of disrupting the governorship election petition tribunal’s proceedings in Lafia, the state capital. It is alleged that these plans are being hatched on a farm belonging to one of the government officials near Akwanga local government area.”
He urged law enforcement agencies, including the police and civil defense, to take necessary measures to prevent any disturbances on September 14, 2023, in Lafia. He advised those behind the alleged plot to refrain from their actions, emphasizing that Nasarawa State has enjoyed relative peace and should continue to do so.
Orogu also called on PDP members and supporters to stay vigilant and report any individuals planning to incite violence or disrupt the state’s peace to the authorities.
Responding swiftly to these allegations, Peter Ahemba, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Abdullahi Sule on Public Affairs, dismissed the claims as false. He emphasized that the government of Engr. Sule prioritizes peace and adherence to the rule of law, asserting that no state government official would engage in such activities.
According to Ahemba, “Ironically, it is the PDP that has been disrupting tribunal proceedings and causing unwarranted tension by deploying paid agents to stage protests at the tribunal’s premises and other locations in the state.”
He called on the public to disregard the allegations made by the PDP.
