FCT Council Poll: LP Chair Alleges Rigging Plans

Ahead of the Federal Capital Territory election, the FCT Labour Party chairman, Hon Peter Diugwu, has alleged that his party is seriously planning to win all the area council elections and their wards, but the major opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), are planning to rig it.

The chairman stated this while speaking with newsmen on the sidelines of the Bwari/AMAC town hall meeting held in Abuja yesterday.

Peter said, “We know that the Labour Party will win this election today, tomorrow, in fact, any day. Area council elections are not our problem because we have people on the ground.

“We are planning to win; PDP and APC are planning to rig the elections, but with the Almighty God we serve, we will capture FCT area councils and wards.”

The chairman said if local government area council elections were conducted today, they would win the six area councils because what they are seeing today is a testimony that people are on the ground to vote for the Labour Party.

“We didn’t hire a crowd to come here today; no hired members are here.

All the people you see here are people who are ready, putting in their resources, minds, and vision to be AMAC chairman and councilors,” he said.
