The Peoples Democratic Party said it had uncovered an alleged plot by President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress to use the party’ s direct primary to validate their plan to rig the 2019 general elections, particularly for the President , who it said had become grossly unpopular ahead of the elections.The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary , Mr . Kola Ologbondiyan , in Abuja on Saturday , said that the main opposition party was aware that the Presidency forced the direct primaries on party members to eliminate delegates ’ participation and pave the way for the allocation of millions of conjured votes .

Ologbondiyan said that the APC and Buhari were planning to use the votes as a basis to authenticate the alleged fictitious votes they intend to declare for President Buhari at the general elections.

He said , “ Having eliminated contest within the APC , the Presidency , which is now apprehensive of apathy against President Buhari due to his increasing unpopularity , plots to import non -members of the party to satiate the venue of the presidential primaries to create an impression of overwhelming popularity for Mr . President and use that to validate the fictitious votes they are conjuring for the Presidential election .

“ The PDP is reliably informed that this rigging plot is the reason , the APC aspirants to other positions , especially , APC state governors , are demanding direct primaries instead of the indirect primaries earlier approved for them by their party
