The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki on Tuesday alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was behind the postponement of Saturday’s elections.
Saraki claimed that the APC wanted low turnout so it can prevent Nigerians from turning out en masse to vote in the rescheduled elections.
The Senate President, who made the claim during the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP)’s emergency National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja, said low turnout will enable APC rig the election.
He, however, urged Nigerians to come out en masse and vote in order to prevent APC from rigging the polls.
According to Saraki: “We have four more days to go. I want to appeal to Nigerians, do not let them frustrate you. When there is a low turnout, they can rig, but if you come out to vote, they cannot rig.”
Saraki accused the APC of seeking another postponement of the election.
“We know, all that drama you saw yesterday, all that Nollywood drama in the APC caucus meeting yesterday is because they’re looking for another postponement; they don’t want elections on Saturday.
“We know they don’t want elections on Saturday, but elections Insha Allahu will happen on Saturday, and the elections that will happen on Saturday will bring in the man that will take us to Promised Land.
“INEC, you know that they don’t want the election on Saturday, but you must deliver. For the sake of millions of Nigerians, you must make sure that elections happen on Saturday. “We want elections on Saturday; the world wants elections on Saturday, and Insha Allahu elections will hold on Saturday and we will win.
“As they say, when your time has come, your time has come. Atiku Abubakar, your time has come.”
