The interim Deputy Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, accused the PDP of planning to rig the Ekiti and Osun States governorship polls coming up later in 2014 as well as the 2015 elections.

“They (the PDP) have definite plans to rig the elections in Ekiti & Osun in 2014 and in the entire nation in 2015. We will not be intimidated into silence. They intend to rig,” El-Rufai wrote on his twitter handle on Tuesday.

He questioned the motive behind fixing the Presidential election on Valentine’s day in 2015. “Why hold presidential election on Valentine’s day? Are they so desperate for apathy from youths?” he queried.
